Kashmir: backstabbed, betrayed,  and abandoned

Kashmiris have been under attack from a country with a 1.3 billion population, more than one million strong army equipped with modern weaponry & the legal immunity to be tried for rape & murder.

India has been spending millions of dollars every day on its military, political, diplomatic & psychological campaign against the Kashmiris. It has also been spending millions of dollars on propaganda campaign to demoralise the Kashmiris & mislead the world community.

Apart from this,India has been using Hindu terror groups like RSS & the judiciary to force Kashmiris to surrender to India. In short,a tiny population of Kashmir has been under attack from the Indian state, the Indian Hindu terror groups, the Indian judiciary & the Indian media.

The fact is that that India was not given a matching response,which led to fall of Kashmir in August 2019. Even after fall of Kashmir there was no change in policy,& political elite in Azad Kashmir & Pakistan kept watching India's sins in Kashmir silently,

not moving beyond ritualistic statements & rhetoric.

Let it be clear  to everyone that they are not only  responsible for territory loss, but  also for pushing Kashmiris into a  situation where they face existential threats. "Territory can be reclaimed, but a  nation cannot."

There has always been this narrative  that Kashmiris keep their freedom movement alive by giving  their blood. This is a dangerous narrative  because Kashmiris account for less than 1% of India's entire population of 1.4 billion people & are under  attack by millions of soldiers.

This demonstrates insensitivity  callousness of officials in Muzaffarabad and Islamabad.

What options remain for the people of Indian-occupied Kashmir? The silence of Pakistan's and Azad Kashmir's ruling elites following  India's attempted annexation of  Kashmir in August 2019 was 
deliberate. Their silence made it clear that they no longer support Kashmiris fighting

against Indian occupation. Even after putting Kashmiris at the mercy of Indian army, their rhetoric and ritualistic statements continued. They did so for two reasons. 1. They were unwilling to declare  openly that they had abandoned  Kashmiris.

2.  They sought to give Kashmiris the false hope that they were  still backing them.

When the people  of IOK are forced to choose  b/ the devil and the deep blue sea,  they should reconsider their  options. They should cease all contact with  the political elites of #AJK & Pakistan, & instead engage  in talks with India to help end sufferings of Kashmiri people

They have no other choice.
