ASSALAM-O-ALAIKUM!

The Sikh Homeland of Punjab Khalistan has been under Indian occupation since August 15, 1947 in which the Sikhs were the majority. However, despite the fact that the Indian subcontinent was divided on the basis of religion, the Sikh Nation did not receive a sovereign state. Recently Sardar Simranjit Singh Mann (IPS) President Akali Dal visited the liberation leaders of Maqbooza Kashmir such as Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, and Shabir Shah etc. of Kashmir in order to coordinate their struggles for freedom. They asserted that they will work collectively in order to eject the Indian army from the occupied territories.

It is pertinent to note that in order to maintain its hegemony over South East Asia, India is illegally occupying Muslim states such as Manawa, Junagar, Hyderabad, and 42,000 Square Miles of Jammu and Kashmir also known as Maqbooza Kashmir. Kashmiri pundits, who claim to be Kashmiris, should stand a long side the Muslims of Maqbooza Kashmir in order to eject the Indian army from the territory as it is this force that is causing grave and systematic violations. This is to understand and assert that it is the Indian state which is the occupier, and it is the 700,000 Indian armed and civil personnel which are the cause of so much pain, death, and destruction in Maqbooza Kashmir. Kashmir Pundits, individuals of the Hindu faith, as already mentioned above are claiming to be “Kashmiris” show absolutely no allegiance to the systematic subordination of the people of Maqbooza Kashmir. Rather, in an attempt to down play the oppressive nature of the Indian state, they are strategically labeling Pakistan as the occupier. This is nothing but propaganda and disinformation as history clearly shows us that the people of Kashmir, being a Muslim majority state chose to accede to Pakistan. Furthermore, rather than acknowledging the over 200,000 deaths in Maqbooza Kashmir through the hands of a rogue state in the form of India, there is an attempt to delegitimize the very legitimate struggles of the people of Maqbooza Kashmir. As such, there is an attempt to disseminate information highlighting the degrading situation of religious holy sites of the Sikh and Hindu faith in Pakistan. These are nothing other than cheap tactics and the “game of politics”. However, what these Kashmiri pundits do not realize is that this is not merely a game. Real people’s lives are being severely affected. In Maqbooza Kashmir, women are dishonored daily, Islam cannot be practiced freely, and the death toll over the last six decades has reached over 200,000. As such, it is deplorable that due to their religious beliefs, Kashmir pundits have pledged total allegiance to the Indian state, totally ignoring the enslavement of the people of Maqbooza Kashmir, all while claiming to be Kashmiri themselves and are attempting to strategically divide minorities which are being oppressed by the Indian state i.e. Sikhs, Muslims etc.
