The ongoing Kashmir crisis is in
its 109th day. And by the attitude of the Indian government, it has
become clear that it is not going to budge when it comes to the demands of the so-called
freedom of Kashmir, something that is nothing but Pakistan sponsored militancy
and propaganda to snatch Kashmir from India.
Now, the whole world, including
Pakistan knows that it is not going to happen. But Pakistan would always want to
inflict as much damage as it can, and it has found handy tools in Kashmir’s
separatists, pro-Pakistani civilians and terrorists to exercise its sinister
designs.
All these tools, in coordination,
or in isolation, try to perpetrate acts that could compromise the Indian
sentiments in Kashmir.
An important part of that
militancy and propaganda is to drag Kashmir’s every upcoming generation away
from everything that can propel it to think rationally about where its future
lies. And a rational mind can never go with Pakistan, a fractured nation with
an increasing notoriety of being a rogue nation that employs terrorism as its
state policy.
So, the whole emphasis would be
on killing this rationality.
The phase of insurgency that
began in Kashmir in late 1980s has consumed a generation of Kashmiris. Post 2000,
there have been attempts and development has seen some growth, including
tourism, the mainstay of Kashmir’s economy. Excluding few instances, there has
been an atmosphere of relative peace, even if gun sponsored.
