IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF EVERY HUMAN BEING TO STAND UP FOR THE INHABITANTS OF MAQBOOZA KASHMIR (IDA:JK) AND EVEN USE FORCE IF ALL PEACEFUL MEANS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED:
HABIB YOUSAFZAI, KASHMIR DIASPORA ALLIANCE
ASSALAM-O-ALAIKUM!
It is historically consistent that when an oppressor seeks to delegitimize the resistance of the oppressed, it employs various means. In order to eliminate and delegitimize the Sikh movement for the liberation of Sikh Homeland Punjab Khalistan (under Indian illegal occupation since August 15, 1947), the Indian government has strategically hired “black cats” to create a façade by executing activities to make the entire movement seem corrupt and ill-placed. Similarly, the Taliban movement initially emerged for the unification of Afghanistan, freeing the Afghan state from corruption, drug trade, and, to provide stability within the state. However, due to some certain internal hard-line contradictions within its ranks as well as foreign infiltration by nations who would seek to destabilize the region, the Taliban has been besmirched. This is not to assert that all members of the Taliban were initially corrupted, or that the Taliban that is resisting against foreign occupation today is crooked. The vast majority of the individuals resisting the occupation in Afghanistan presently are simply fighting for the freedom of their nation from the control of foreign occupiers who seek to abuse its resources and move onto the next nation plush of monetary goods. However, these externally sponsored “black cats” are the individuals responsible for the bulk of the heinous crimes which are carried out such as human rights violations, attacking various different religious holy sites, burning of girls’ schools, forbidding females from attaining an education and killing innocent civilians through various means (all contrary to fundamental teachings of Islam). Such acts delegitimize the very legitimate claims of the freedom movement.
Maqbooza Kashmir [AKA Internationally Disputed Areas of Jammu and Kashmir (IDA: JK)] just like Afghanistan is in a similar situation where Indian sponsored individuals seek to delegitimize this most justifiable cause of Kashmiris. Also perpetual with the dismay in Afghanistan, the Kashmiri occupation is largely a religious issue where a foreign occupier seeks to invade and impose its belief system on the native Muslim population. The Afghani cause and the Kashmiri cause is one in the same. Therefore, the fight for the freedom of Kashmir and its resistance must not remain in Kashmir alone. All individuals whether Muslim or non-Muslim who stand against the oppression of a religious group should step forward. Fundamental to a successful resistance movement is it must not be limited by race, nationality, or language etc. Kashmir can only obtain its freedom from a wide network of alliances stemming from grassroots movements standing up against imperialism and occupation starting from Kashmir and Afghanistan, and travelling all across the world.
