ASSALAM-O-ALAIKUM!

Regardless of whether a territory is a part of its rightful sovereign state, or, if it is occupied by another invader/occupier; the people on the ground always have a standard set of human rights as designated to them as human beings. This is outlined within the auspices of the United Nations. However, if we look at the area of Maqbooza Kashmir, or, Indian occupied Kashmir, there is quite of a bit of a paradox taking place, or rather, irony. On one hand India claims to have rightful ownership of Maqbooza Kashmir and refuses to withdraw its 700,000 occupation forces and military personnel. On the other, the Indian government is treating the people on the ground, who its claims are its citizens worst than those rules set out for peoples that are occupied. Where is the logic in this?

With over 203, 002 citizens murdered by the Indian regime, over 216,194 arrests made, is this how a state treats its “citizens” that it claims to be a government of, or for that matter peoples that you they occupied? With over 110,317 having disappeared in Maqbooza Kashmir and over 115,982 homes having been demolished for both subordination of the local populace and quelling political uprisings; can this even be claimed to be adequate treatment of occupied peoples by any standard, let alone by the international human rights standards of the United Nations? 122,992 widows and 207,535 orphans are the result of this indiscriminate assault on the people of Maqbooza Kashmir. What legitimizes this?

India must hand over the occupied territory of Maqbooza Kashmir to Pakistan as this is its rightful territory. This can be done through plebiscite or referendum with only two options; accession to India or Pakistan. A separate sovereign state has no legitimacy, and quite frankly, is prone to be used as a proxy by the Indian state while keeping the masses subordinated in that situation as well. This is not freedom and cannot be an option.
