THE CITIZENS OF IDA: JK ARE FAR BETTER OFF IN PAKISTAN: HABIB YOUSAFZAI, KASHMIR DIASPORA ALLIANCE



ASSALAM-O-AKAIKUM!

It is important to realize that the inability of Pakistan to hold onto a part of its territory in the past is a result of both internal, but largely external factors. Internally the state behaved in a corrupt and incompetent manner; however, this is a factor present in every state. What we must really focus on though is the external sphere. India holds great geostrategic importance in the Asia. As such, the international community taking into consideration their own interests has historically never justly pursued solving the case of Maqbooza Kashmir [AKA Internationally Disputed Areas of Jammu and Kashmir IDA:JK by the UN].This rampant hypocrisy by the international community including the UN reduces their “commitment” to the right of self-determination and democracy to mere paper liberties. Another extremely important factor in the external sphere is that India has aggressively, using all its material capabilities, sought to destabilize Pakistan. This is evident in the days of independence, in the 70s with East Pakistan’s dismemberment, and even today.

Sitting on the sidelines does not do anything; it is very easy to talk, but talk is cheap. All these greedy nationalists (traitors like Mir Jaffar and Mir Saddiq) who are not more than 2% would seek to weaken the Pakistan’s struggle for the freedom of Maqbooza Kashmir (IDA:JK) are nothing more than parasites. They think of nothing but the material and political power which they can gain from a sovereign Kashmir. But the fact remains, a sovereign Jammu and Kashmir does not exist. Jammu and Kashmir is legally the territory of the Pakistani state, and the Pakistani state is the only viable actor with agency and a voice in the international community. Pakistan is no heaven; it is far from it. However, the 14 million people of Maqbooza Kashmir (IDA:JK) along with the 42000 square miles occupied by India rightfully belong to Pakistan. Furthermore, the citizens of IDA:JK are far better off in Pakistan, free of rampant discrimination, death, rape, and systematic institutional subordination.
