Deradicalisation of #Kashmir Youth, need of the hour. #Thread.

The valley has been bearing the brunt of radicalisation that has the potential to destroy the future generation of #Kashmir. Its a ticking time bomb that needs to be addressed at the earliest.
The gradual erosion of #Sufism is an indicator of the growing radicalisation in #Kashmir. Sufism faces a stiff competition from the Wahhabi brand of Islam as preached in Saudi Arabia & other parts of the world.
Sufi shrines are being burnt and there has hardly been any public outcry regarding the same, indicating the waning influence of the Hanafis. With the abundance of Saudi money, Wahhabi followers are gradually taking over Hanafi masjids in the valley.
#Kashmir
Radicalisation in J&K has increased in the past decade. Radical Islamist outfits are spreading their ideology through vitriolic speeches, a network of Mosques, taking the control of Madrasas while expanding their influence across various colleges & universities.
#Kashmir
In Sep 2018 in #Kulgam, Zahid Ah Mir(16) who joined HM got trapped in a gunfight with the security forces. He called his mother about what he should do next. His mother advised him to not surrender & rather sacrifice his life for Jihad.
#Kashmir
The new war in #Kashmir is not only being fought on the streets, but through smartphones as well. Readily available material & literature on the streets & internet, along with clips on YouTube has been contributing to radicalisation.
The misinterpretation of the Holy Quran & the call of jihad which is influencing youth to take up arms. Muslim youth in #Kashmir is being called to wage a war for “Ghazwa-e-Hind” by terror outfits & handlers in #Pakistan.
Students right from their childhood have been taught that #Kashmir is not a part of India, & that it has been occupied by #India. The textbooks in #Kashmiri schools have two maps - one of India & the other of J&K, thus giving rise to a sense of separate identity.
Many Mosques & Madrasas have become epicenters of Radicalisation. These Mosques during gunfights appeal to locals to indulge in stone-pelting on Security Forces so that #terrorists are able to escape. At such places children first learn the concept of believers & kaafirs.
#Article370 was a disease that gave rise to alienation & separate identity to #Kashmiris which the Government has removed. The likes of Jamaat-e-Islami, Hurriyat, & separatists – all owe their growth to Article 370.
#Kashmir
#Kashmir is territorially secure, but we need to secure it emotionally & psychologically as well. We need to foster strong bonds & propagate the spirit of Kashmiriyat. Elders & influential clerics must reached out to clear the misconceptions of youth regarding jihad.
The glorification of #terrorists by the locals needs to end. If not nipped in the bud, we will have a generation of #Kashmiris growing up with militants & separatists as their role model.
#KashmirRejectsTerrorism
The bravery of local youth such as Rifleman Aurangzeb needs to be propagated. His two brothers have also joined the Army in 2019 to avenge his killing. A firm message that the country needs more Aurangzebs & not Burhan Wanis needs to be communicated.
#Kashmir
De-radicalisation can be best achieved through effective teaching & incorporation of civic studies in the syllabus for children. Students should be empowered with pen & computers, in place of stones and guns.
#Kashmir
The long-term solution is through a movement that genuinely seeks to propagate #Sufism that promotes peace & tolerance for all & helps promote the spirit of #Kashmiriyat.
#KashmirWantsPeace.

19 years ago, on 20 Jan 2002, 4 Lashkar-e-Taiba #terrorists massacred 11 civilians, including eight children & a woman, & injured three others at a small village of Behra in Poonch, Jammu & #Kashmir.
The only fault of those innocent souls was that they refuse to be a part of the cycle of violence, they refused to shelter the four gun wielding LeT #terrorists.
#Kashmir
The cold hearted killers did not even hesitate to kill eight innocent children, what kind of Jihad justifies the killing of innocent kids.

19 Jan 1990 - "Exodus day". More than 3 lakh Kashmiri Pandits who resided in #Kashmir from time immemorial became refugees overnight in their own country. A #thread #KashmiriPandits
@AnupamPKher
The anti #Pandits pogroms & attacks started in 1989 with insurgency. On loud speakers open threats were being issued to #KashmiriPandits, the message was clear - "either leave the valley or die a painful death".
#KashmiriPanditGenocide
Posters were pasted outside their houses declaring them as targets for the Jihadist.
Instances of assassinations, tortures & murder were becoming common.

The assassinations of #MirwaizFarooq & #AbdulGhaniLone that reveals the ugly face of #Pakistan’s proxy war in #Kashmir. A #Thread

Pakistan is a festered wound in the lives of #Kashmiris that has been eating away the soul of Kashmir for decades now.
Some sane leaders in #Kashmir who saw through the devilish design of #Pakistan & tried to save its people from this snake in the grass were either sidelined or worse killed in cold blood.
This includes the two most influential leaders of Kashmir #MirwaizFarooq & #AbdulGhaniLone.
What happened with them?
At 7:15 p.m. on 13 Feb 1990, #terrorists shot Lassa Kaul, 45, director of the government-run #television station as he stepped from a vehicle in front of his home.
It shook Mirwaiz Farooq, Lassa Kaul was his dear friend.

Unforgettable Random Humanitarian Acts by #IndianArmy for Awam of #Kashmir. #Thread

#IndianArmy is not only known for its valor, gallantry & professionalism but also for its unflinching sacrifice, dedication & love for its countrymen whether in #Kashmir or rest of #India.
On 14 Jan last year during heavy snowfall, an expecting mother Mrs Shamima from Dardpura, required emergency hospitalisation. For 4 hours over 100 Army Jawans of 52 RR & 30 civilians walked with her on stretcher through heavy snow.
The mother was able to reach hospital on time, thanks to the valiant efforts of #IndianArmy & the locals.
Baby was born in hospital, both mother & child were healthy. The family of Shamima & the locals couldn’t thank #IndianArmy enough.

#Propagandists have for long been known to incite hatred with conspiracy.
Flooding social media with #FakeNews against India now appears to be the new means for these elements to inflame their agenda. #thread
#Kashmir Image
#Pakistani #Agents fearful of the rising amity, peace in #Kashmir and of the limited control over people in the #valley are now misusing #SocialMedia to spread #Misinformation and #FakeNews ImageImage
#Pakistan made desperate attempts to spread the propaganda on #Lawaypora encounter. Several #Pakistani #ISPR handles launched campaign within few moments after the conduct of encounter.

@KashmirPolice have proved through ample evidence that the 03 youth killed were #Terrorists Image

Hard Hitting Realities of Laweypora #HMT #SrinagarEncounter for those who will try their best to draw a parallel between #Amshipora and #Laweypora.
A #Thread.
#SrinagarEncounter #Kashmir
#PoliceDeniesAllegation
#Lawaypora was a joint #operation launched by parties of #JKP, #Army & CRPF based on specific #intelligence about the presence of #terrorists in the Lawaypora area.
Based on intelligence input, cordon was laid & all the standard operating procedures were followed.
#Kashmir
The #operation was conducted right besides the NH44 under full #media glare of both #national & regional media. The operation lasted for 18 hours in the thickly populated area with heavy traffic & numerous houses in the vicinity that had direct view of the entire #encounter site.
