Kashmir Black Day to mark Indian Occupation of J&K on October 27 : UN has failed to implement its resolutions for past 67 years




Islamabad, 27 October, (Asiantribune.com):

Kashmiris on both sides of the Line of Control and world over will observe October 27 as “Black Day” to mark India’s forcibly occupation of Kashmir 67 years ago.

On 27th October 1947, India invaded Jammu and Kashmir in complete disregard to the Indian Independence Act and Partition Plan in 1947, which stated that the Indian British Colony would be divided into two sovereign states, India, with Hindu-majority areas, and Pakistan, with the Muslim-majority areas of Western provinces and east Bengal.

The Partition Plan had given the then princely states the choice to join either of the two countries on the basis of their geographical situation and communal amity but India forcibly occupied Hyderabad, Junagarh and Jammu and Kashmir. Hyderabad and Junagarh were Hindu-majority states but their rulers were Muslims. Jammu and Kashmir was a Muslim-majority state and had a natural tendency to accede to Pakistan, but its then Hindu ruler, Maharaja Hari Singh, destroyed the future of Kashmiri people by announcing its accession to India under a controversial document (Instrument of Accession).

Many neutral observers like British historian, Alistair Lamb, reject the existence of any such document with the argument that if it were there then Indian government would have made it public either officially or at any international forum. Indian troops, the forces of Dogra Maharaja, and Hindu extremists massacred over three hundred thousand Kashmiri Muslims within a period of two months with the intention to change the demographic composition of the territory.

It is also a reality that the so-called Boundary Commission, headed by British Barrister, Cyril Radcliff, that demarcated partition line between Pakistan and India, played a pivotal role in paving the way for Indian illegal occupation of Kashmir. The Commission split Gurdaspur, a Muslim majority area, under a conspiracy, and handed it over to India, providing it land route to Jammu and Kashmir.

Right from first day, the people of Kashmir did not accept Indian illegal occupation and started an armed struggle supported by a public uprising in 1947. After sensing defeat to its forces, India approached the UN Security Council on January 1, 1948, seeking its help to settle the dispute over Kashmir. Indian invasion and occupation of Kashmir was nullified by the successive UN Security Council resolutions. The Security Council passed two resolutions on August 13, 1948, and January 5, 1949, which were accepted both by Pakistan and India. Through these resolutions, the UN approved a ceasefire, demarcation of the ceasefire line, demilitarization of the state and a free and impartial plebiscite to be conducted under the supervision of the United Nations. Although one phase of these resolutions (ceasefire and demarcation of ceasefire line) was implemented while demilitarization of the occupied territory and holding of a plebiscite still remain unimplemented.

The Security Council has explicitly and by implications, rejected India's claim that Kashmir is legally Indian territory. The Security Council has also rejected the Indian contention that the people of Kashmir have exercised their right of self-determination by participating in the "election" which India has from time to time organized in the Held Kashmir. The 0.2% turn out during the 1989 "elections" was the most recent clear repudiation of the Indian claim.

The Simla Agreement of 2 July 1972, to which Pakistan also continues to adhere, did not alter the status of Jammu and Kashmir as a disputed territory as it lists “a final settlement of Jammu and Kashmir" as one of the outstanding questions awaiting a settlement.

Every year, the day is marked as Kashmir Black Day by total strike. Different functions, protest demonstrations and anti-India rallies are taken out in the occupied territory, Azad Jammu and Kashmir, and also in the world capitals. This year too, the Kashmiris are observing October 27th as the Black Day to demonstrate to the world that they will never yield to Indian repression. The participants would also pay rich tributes to the martyrs of Kashmir freedom movement for their supreme sacrifices for the cause of freedom of Kashmir from Indian subjugation.

It is incumbent on the international community in general and governing world bodies in particular to intervene and force India to stop shedding innocent Kashmiri blood. Kashmiris should have the right to decide their fate according to the UN resolutions, which were adopted to resolve the issue.

One of these separatist contested the election last time . He lost . So much for the mass support he has .

Another tried to take advantage of death of fellow kashmiri and got his face blackened by people in response .

JKYDF observes 'black day' to mark tribal invasion
Wednesday, 23 10 2013 09:26

Srinagar: Jammu and Kashmir Youth Development Forum (JKYDF), apolitical forum represented by people from different walks of life, organised a seminar at Zaberwan Park on the banks of famous Dal Lake in Srinagar today to discuss the negative role of Tribal Invasion on Kashmir in 1947. In a statement issued here this evening, a spokesman of JKYDF sad that contrary to the past when separatists used to observe October 27, the day Indian Army landed in Srinagar, as Black Day, a group of young and energetic persons this year changed the trend by observing October 22 as Black Day. It was on October 22 when tribal militia backed by Pakistani Army invaded Kashmir in 1947. The speakers during the seminar highlighted how Tribal militia unleashed reign of terror and unprovoked aggression against people of Jammu and Kashmir and violated state’s sovereignty. “In the past years separatists used to force Kashmiris to observe Black Day on October 27 which coincides with the arrival of Indian army in Srinagar. People were led to believe that their problems started after 27th October 1947,” said Farooq Ganderbali, chairman JKYDF. “Matter of the facts is that our sovereignty was violated on 22 October 1947 when hordes of tribesmen from North West Frontier of Pakistan attacked and invaded J&K State. They mercilessly killed and looted people. Religion was not an issue to them and their victims included Muslims as well as non-Muslims. In fact, first person who was killed by these so called Jihadis was a Muslim from Muzaffarbad area of Pakistan Occupied Kashmir,” he added. The seminar was first of its kind and attracted a lot of interest by the concerned stake holders. People from all walks of life which included lawyers, journalists, doctors, businessmen, politicians and students participated in the seminar and declared that the Tribal Invasion was designed to force the Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir to join Pakistan. Ganderbali said, “Our struggle is not against Pakistan or Pakistani people; It is against injustice and wrong policies of Pakistan and its agencies played from last 65 years in Jammu and Kashmir.” “It is a historic fact that the State of Jammu and Kashmir was independent after the end of the British Raj and that Tribal Invasion was supported by Pakistani authorities in clear violation of the Standstill Agreement concluded between the Maharaja government and government of Pakistan,” he added. President J&K Socialist Democratic Party Dr Drakshan Indrabi said, “If people of Pakistan can hold demonstrations against injustice in Pakistan and no one questions their loyalty and no one calls them traitor, then why should we be afraid of holding demonstrations against those who do injustice to us.” Advocate Bilal Ahmad, a social activist in his speech said, “The Tribal Invasion was planned and supported by government of Pakistan, and its aim was to punish the Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir who refused to accede to Pakistan. It divided our beloved motherland and divided families of the state. It killed innocent Kashmiri men and women. It plundered and looted Kashmiri resources. It is the main cause of our present miseries and troubles.” Er Ghulam Hassan Organizer JKYDF expressed his serious concern on the rise of religious intolerance in areas of Pakistani Occupied Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan.

'Separatists' shutdown affects life in Kashmir Valley


Last Updated: Sunday, October 27, 2013, 13:25

Srinagar: Life was affected here and in other parts of the Kashmir Valley Sunday due to a shutdown called by many separatist groups against the landing of the Indian army in Jammu and Kashmir this day in 1947.

Although government offices, educational institutions, banks, post offices and businesses remained closed because of a public holiday Sunday, the separatist shutdown affected the movement of public and private transport in the city and elsewhere in the valley.

Very few private vehicles moved on the city roads, while public transport also remained off the roads.

Muzafarrabad-based supreme commander of the Hizbul Mujahideen guerrilla group, Syed Salahuddin has also supported the protest shutdown called by Kashmiri separatist leaders.

After the erstwhile Dogra Maharaja, Hari Singh, signed the instrument of accession of the then independent princely state of Jammu and Kashmir with the union of India, Indian army sent its troops to drive away the tribal invaders from the state this day in 1947.

Police and paramilitary central reserve police force (CRPF) have been deployed at sensitive places here and other parts of the Kashmir valley.

Authorities placed many senior separatist leaders including Syed Ali Geelani and Muhammad Yasin Malik under house arrest in Srinagar city.

Deserves a thread this news.

Kashmiris welcomed the Indian troops on 27th October 1947 after the killings and lootings unleashed by tribal militias from Pakistan. Those Pashtun militias even raped and killed European nuns at St. Joseph convent of Baramulla. I even saw videos of some accounts those Pashtun militias even looted beddings from hospitals in Kashmir after shooting the patients. Calling 27th October as black day is a joke.

Another Black Day

Published On: Sun, Oct 27th, 2013
Exclusive | Headline | Kashmir | By Samreen Mushtaq

There were times of being caught in the midst of gunfire, seeing someone being mercilessly beaten, seeing a lifeless body covered in blood, seeing old men thrashed simply because they didn’t have their identity cards with them.

As I sit in my class in Delhi, away from home, wondering why on earth I decided to join the PhD program when a subject like ‘Research Methodology’ bores me to death, my eyes turn to the calendar on the wall – 27th October stands out somehow. Not that it’s marked as a holiday, but this is one of those “can’t-ever-forget” days. Shouldn’t they have shown it in ‘red’, I think to myself. After all, that was what it brought to my beautiful vale – occupation and oppression, bloodied streets and broken dreams. And then I laugh at what I’m thinking; when have they even admitted having done that to us? And I’m expecting them to advertise it on calendars!

Although people’s accounts vary with regard to the date when the Indian army landed in Kashmir, it is generally held that it was the 27th day of October, sixty six years ago, when our existence was “stamped with occupation”. Just when I think about this, I find myself drowning into the sea of countless memories. As a child, I remember listening to the exchange of gunshots and counting them until I forgot the count. I remember being given a small blanket to carry to the Eidgah each time during a crackdown on those chilly winter days. I’d feel so proud then that I was given ‘work’ to do; little did I know what crackdowns meant; little did I know why it scared all the elders at home. Little did I know it was not a call for a ’get together’ early in the morning; it was a call to be at their mercy, a call for torturing whomsoever they wished to. It was a call for reminding us that we were an occupied people, I realized as I grew up.

I remember those times when I’d clutch my grandmother’s hand tightly as we ran from our home for “safety” (as if it was safe anywhere!), my mom and elder sister following closely behind. I remember those holes the bullets had made on the front walls of our home; and we’d move to change our place out of fear. I remember saying silent prayers when we all would hear the thumping noise of boots at the dead of the night. Those knocks – and everyone would turn cold and still. I remember those haunting images of blood being washed off from the street. I remember the wails and cries that accompanied. I remember that strange energy the air would seem to be charged with when slogans of Azaadi resonated from the streets. It’d be as if those heartbroken people had suddenly come to life again. Even though I was too young to make sense of it all, I’d keep repeating it under my breath.

Things started making sense with each passing day. Moving from one house to another didn’t bring about safety. Curfews weren’t happy holidays. Gunshots weren’t a lullaby. Crackdowns weren’t outings. Washing blood from the streets didn’t heal wounds. The history in the textbooks wasn’t my history. The country I was made to read about wasn’t mine. Azaadi wasn’t just a song. Fear couldn’t come in the way of the dream for freedom.

There were times of being caught in the midst of gunfire, seeing someone being mercilessly beaten, seeing a lifeless body covered in blood, seeing old men thrashed simply because they didn’t have their identity cards with them, seeing the ‘security forces’ barge into each home, beating the male members and forcibly taking them out to polling booths, helplessly watching young buds withering away before they could reach their full bloom.

It gets so disturbing at times that I wish I could erase this all. But then, as Sylvia Plath writes about memories:

Maybe forgetfulness,

like a kind snow,

should numb and cover them.

But they were a part of me.

They were my landscape.

Aren’t these memories a part of my very existence too, and in this case, another form of resistance? And, besides, what am I supposed to forget? KunanPoshpora? Asiya and Nilofer? Gawkadal or Bijbehara? Sopore or Shopian? Baramulla or Bandipora? Palhallan…Pathribal…Machhil? Tufail Mattoo or Wamiq Farooq? Inayat or Tahir? Fida or Fancy? These are not mere names. These are not numbers. Each home in Kashmir has witnessed a Karbala of its own. Each person’s dreams have been trampled upon. Fathers have shouldered the coffins of their young sons. Mothers have seen the apple of their eye falling prey to bullets. Should I forget how we all live and die a death each day? Should I forget the families waiting for their ‘disappeared’? Should I forget the half-widows who are constantly fighting the battle between hope and despair? Should I forget that mass graves exist? Should I forget the wailing mother who died waiting for her ‘disappeared’ son to return? Should I forget the destruction they brought upon us simply because they now talk of ‘development’? Should I forget the roads over which they built bridges so that no traces of blood would be visible? Memory is resistance, certainly!

For those who ask me why I talk of 27th October as a black day, need I say more? To those who tell me that scribbling AZAADI on my notebook again and again and again, most of the times without even knowing it, is madness, I say: If this is madness, so be it!
