One year after India Locked special status of Kashmir Kashmiris Worrying about a demographic change

Since 1947, August has an ominous weakening a month-month and suppression of the people of Kashmir were. The latest setback came a year ago, on August 5, 2019, the day of the special status of Kashmir government repealed Article 370 and 35A suspension, diluting this limits the autonomy still exists on paper. (Indian military presence had been a lot of control.) Article 370 of India managed Kashmir allows control of all areas to keep the defensive block, communication and foreign policy. Article 35 ensures that only Kashmir “permanent residents” can own property. The withdrawal was a further step towards fully annexed Kashmir movement used to support the population in India the Kashmiris Garner price. The consent of the governed, which is essential in a democracy, is not a problem for India’s Hindu nationalist government when it comes to the population of Jammu and Kashmir, including the Kashmir valley. Kashmir was under lockdown much earlier COVID-19 For weeks last year, all telephone lines and internet services were cut off from the Indian government. Essential Mobile connectivity took months to be restored and the ban on high-speed 4G Internet continues to this day. However, the Indian government has made passing the seat usually full use of lockdowns crown that caused the alarm because of their potential to change the demography of the state with a Muslim majority in Jammu and Kashmir. The measure grants the job of living and government at all from India, studying in the country for 15 years or more outlets there for seven years and specific tests or served in the government of his country for 10 years or more has lived. In just over a month are about 400,000 people who have already acquired the certificates of residence. It could be the result of the referendum seeks international public opinion for the resolution of the largest, international dispute for control of the territory change. It ‘was in 1947 in August and that India and Pakistan gained their independence and can not reach an agreement on the sovereignty of Jammu and Kashmir, most of which remained with India. Kashmiris were never consulted. They have been rendered invisible. By the end of the year came the first attempt to change the demographics of Jammu and Kashmir: the Muslim majority of Poonch district in Jammu faced a siege that resulted in the massacre of Muslims in Jammu. It is unclear how many people died, but estimates put the number of accidents between 20,000 to even more forced than 200,000, with half a million migrating to Pakistan. In August 1953 1948 Sheikh Abdullah was the Jammu and Kashmir Prime Minister was arrested and imprisoned. Dozens of people have been killed in the protests after his detention. In August 2008, Kashmiris protested by blocking a key road in the state by Hindu nationalists. As tens of thousands of protesters to the capital city Muzaffarabad-march of Indian control of Kashmir Pakistan-administered beyond the line of the security forces fired on them. Everything was more killed in all, since 1990, more than 70,000 people are missing at least 8000, hundreds were tortured and arrested thousands of Indian authorities. Official Indian figures clearly lower than the budget of the victims (citing 41,000 deaths between 1990 and March 2017). The elections were manipulated and laws were introduced was twisting the arm of local government; Anyone who rejects the Indian government publication has been imprisoned or killed. Ha absolute lawlessness as accountability structures were made dysfunctional. Not only the armed forces have always been a personal monitored in civil courts for their involvement in human rights violations. Promise of a referendum allowing Kashmiris to the field of fate made the then Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru in 1947 are buried by a new narrative and replaces Decision “Kashmir is an integral part of India.” With each passing day, the stand of India has grown to more rigid Kashmir and violence against people of Jammu and Kashmir has become a norm. How Narendra Modi of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) prime minister in 2014 came to power, the policy of aggression was still raw. The only difference was that misleading sophistication of the secular Congress government was replaced by the shamelessness of the BJP’s majority Hindus. The international community has expressed, but mild concern over the current situation in Jammu and Kashmir, probably to keep out of a desire for trade and strategic relations with India. But international agreements just words intended to make the leaders who, morally Simply register to hear? The government unilateral and undemocratic changes of Jammu and Kashmir, rampant violations of human rights, the denial of basic services and the acquisition of land for the militarization are all in violation of international law, the resolutions of the United Nations, its constitutional framework of ‘India and India’s commitment to the Kashmiris. India may feel encouraged to continue his policy of violence because of the lack of international moral leadership alone.
