Every year, October 27 is observed by Kashmiris as Black Day, and Muslims all over the world express solidarity with the people of Kashmir. The British had played an ignominious role in bringing Kashmiris to the present pass for having sold Kashmir to Gulab Singh, former governor of Maharaja Ranjeet Singh, for 7.5 million rupees. Once again at the time of partition when people of Kashmir had dreamt of freedom from oppression, India accepted Lord Mountbaten as the first Governor General of India with a view to implementing its insidious plan of annexing Kashmir, which was contrived and implemented by Lord Mountbaten and Nehru. And on 26th July 1947, Raja Hari Singh was coerced into signing the controversial document, and it was on the basis of this document that Indian forces entered the Valley on 27th October 1947. Kashmiris have perhaps passed through the longest suffering and ordeal in the history and faced repression, death and destruction.
The suffering of the Kashmiri people continues, as international community is not at all moved by the sad plight of the Kashmiris. Disappointed and disillusioned by protracted bilateral negotiations between India and Pakistan that have proved infructuous, Kashmiri youth had taken up arms in 1989. More than 93000 Kashmiris have been martyred during the last thirteen years. However, after 9/11 the US and its allies dubbed all those waging freedom struggle as terrorists, and it had adverse impact on the Kashmiris’ struggle for their right for self-determination. Before 9/11, almost all Muslim countries supported the struggle and the right of self-determination of Kashmiris in accordance with the relevant UN resolutions. Nevertheless, the resolution of Kashmir dispute lies in tripartite negotiations between India, Pakistan and the accredited leadership of the people of Jammu & Kashmir from both sides of the Cease-fire Line.
It is too well known the cardinal principal for the partition of India was that majority Muslim regions would become part of Pakistan and majority Hindu regions to become part of India. But a different formula was contrived for the princely states to benefit India. The Kashmiris had rejected the formula for the states and insisted that there should be one standard for entire India and the princely states. In fact, then representative body of Muslims of Kashmir the Muslim Conference had held a convention on 19th July 1947 and passed a resolution to merge Kashmir with Pakistan, which stated: “This convention of Muslim Conference has reached the conclusion that geographical conditions, 80 per cent Muslim population, important rivers of Punjab passing through the state, language, cultural, ethnic and economic relations and contiguity of the state with Pakistan make it imperative to merge with Pakistan”.
India’s illegal occupation of Kashmir is indeed a dark chapter in the history of human rights. However, India continues to deny the right of self-determination to the Kashmiri people, which is morally unacceptable, economically unsustainable and politically inadmissible with regard to any scheme aimed at ensuring global and regional peace, stability and security. The repression, oppression and atrocities by Indian forces have turned Kashmir into a hell that would stretch Dante’s imagination reflected in his famous poem Divine Comedy. However, these acts could not break the will of Kashmiris. It will not be an exaggeration to say that the heroic struggle waged by the people of Kashmir is unparalleled in the history who are committed to continue their struggle till their objective is achieved. It has to be said that no solution can be found without the participation and consensus of the people of Kashmir. But the Indian government in connivance with the puppet administration is working on a plan to change the demography of Jammu and Kashmir by settling Indian citizens in the occupied territory.
In June 2008, Kashmiri Muslims had protested against allotment of land to Delhi-based Amarnath Shrine Trust, which was violation of the law. Later, there was strike in Muslims’ areas of Indian Held Kashmir against anti-Muslim riots, vandalism, looting of Muslim properties, economic blockade of the Valley and inter-regional ex-communication by the Hindu fanatics and extremists of occupied Jammu region. In fact, Congress-led government had earlier allotted a piece of land near the shrine apparently to facilitate Hindu pilgrims that throng the shrine in hundreds of thousands, but Kashmiris were suspicious of the government’s intentions, as efforts were being made to encourage migration of Hindus to the state with a view to diluting Kashmiri Muslims’ 98 per cent majority in ***. Anyhow, all assessments of India were proven wrong by last year’s struggle of the people of Kashmir. This is the first time that there are voices in India as well in Europe demanding that Kashmir issue should be resolved.
In case, India continues to balk at resolving the Kashmir dispute, and does not reciprocate with Pakistan to reach a solution acceptable to India, Pakistan and the people of Kashmir, the only way out for Pakistan would be to invoke the UN Security Council resolutions. The international community has to understand that Tashkant and Simla agreements were signed by Pakistan under duress. Article 103 of Chapter XVI of the UN Charter clearly states: “In the event of a conflict between the obligations of the members of the United Nations under the present Charter and any other international agreement, their obligation under the present charter shall prevail”.
The composite dialogue that started in 2004 was stalled after Mumbai terrorists attack in 2008, which has been resumed after a long hiatus of four years. Anyhow, neither the festering issues like Kashmir, Siachen and Sir Creek have been resolved nor any progress has been made in this regard. Nevertheless, the threat of war between two nuclear states also works as an incentive for peace between the belligerent countries.
