Isn't india supposed to be the "worlds biggest democracy"? Where's their democracy now?

only when it suits them.......the truth is, hindustany media will never show you the pictures and videos that we are seeing being uploaded on the world wide information highway AKA the internet

it is evident that Kashmiri youth yearn for the outside world to see what is really going on over there, especially the recent unrest
























p.s. mobile text messaging is banned in occupied Kashmir as well

I agree, indians like to live in the delusion that Kashmiris want to be a part of india and that they love indians when in reality its exactly the opposite. If you talk to any Kashmiri or go on any Kashmiri website/group on Kashmir you'll know exactly how grim situation is there. I still want an indians response to the fact that they have banned text message/ fb in Kashmir yet they go on and on about how big of democracy they are and :blah::blah:

Allah help our Kashmiri Brothers and Sisters =(

Hope you prayed for BD people during 1971. Kashmir atrocities are way hyped, otherwise why there is zero migration to Pakistan, as compared to millions in 1971. Why no one came on streets at the time of Kargil? People know that unless they pickup fight or help terrorist there is a remote chance of them being impacted, there are some exceptions that's it.

im sure 99% of the people on this forum werent even alive during the time of 1971; but based on interactions with Bengalis in real life and on this forum, there is no lost love between Pakistan and Bangladesh brothers/sisters

way to bring up an off-topic post by the way....an alternate method for spin control would be suggested

Yeah I like how he went totally off topic. I've noticed indians like to drag Pakistan in whenever we talk about topics like these

Why so much anger and hatred in your heart? Most(normal) people would react the same why as me,after seeing those photos.

99% of the atrocities in East Pakistan were caused by Indian Army trained terrorists against those who were loyal or potentially loyal to pakistan. this had the double benefit (for the indians) of provoking retaliation from loyal citizens of pakistan.

AS I said earlier, all terrorists deserve equal punishment. this should include the Indian Army officers who trained the terrorists - the Indian Army officers are on record as having admitted to training the Muktis.

Include the the Indian Army trained SOG (special operations group - the only thing special about these renegades is their inhumanity) in Kashmir.

Well, duh. Of course the Indian Army trained the Mukti Bahini. No secret there. But claiming that 99% of atrocities in East Pakistan were caused by the Indian Army is ridiculous. Please show one neutral source that shows that as true.

Islam is a title which was given to this religion on completion and exists from the day 1 of this planet.

But dear buddy, your fellow followers of Abrahamic faith don't accept this. How can you say that then? I am talking about the day 1 discussion. I have asked this to all three of your faith followers (Jews, Christians and Muslims) and none of them agree with each other.


And that process of one-upmanship was the cause of the bloody crusades,the persecution of the Jews and currently the supressing of the Palestinians due to the payback from the Jews.

to all Pakistanis & friends of Kashmir -- I found this facebook group; be sure to join it for news/discussion/etc.

ALL JAMMU KASHMIR STUDENTS FRONT (AJKSF) | Facebook


incidentally, Kashmiri youth are using facebook/youtube to report on events, upload images of the violence waged by indian forces, and express anger. hindustany authorities are accusing them of using net to ''instigate'' civil unrest (freedom of speech??)

local human rights groups say several Kashmiri facebook users have received phone calls from police asking about their activities and ordering them to report to police station. Do the right thing and join the group in order to show support and solidarity to Kashmiri brothers/sisters in the interests of not bowing down or submitting to intimidation


Police threaten Kashmiri Facebook users

Indian police battling to control anti-India protests in the troubled province of Kashmir are accusing Facebook users of using the social networking site to instigate civil unrest.

Over the past month of clashes that left 15 people dead in the restive province, young Kashmiris have used Facebook and YouTube to report on the events, upload images of the violence, and express their anger.
Indian authorities are now threatening to prosecute Kashmiris using Facebook and other sites to spread images and ideas that they say are inflammatory.

Local human rights groups say several Kashmiri Facebook users have received phone calls from police asking about their activities and ordering them to report to the police station. As a result, many Kashmiris are now deactivating their Facebook accounts and re-registering under false names.

“So far it’s intimidation,” said Khurram Parvez, co-ordinator of the Jammu and Kashmir Coalition of Civil Society. “They are monitoring whosoever writes what.”

Kashmir, the picturesque Himalayan valley at the centre of a decades-old dispute between India and Pakistan, remained tense at the weekend. Many towns were placed under curfew after residents of the northern town of Baramulla claimed a teenage boy had drowned in a river after being chased by police following a protest.

Meanwhile, hardline factions of the separatist Hurriyat Conference have called for strikes and other protests against Indian rule through the week.

One person who asked not to be identified said he received phone calls from police after he uploaded a clip of two teenagers bleeding to death after being shot by police in Anantnag.
“Indian media never shows such pictures,” said the 27-year-old social worker. “There was no mischievous intent on my part. People here already know everything...I wanted the outside world to see.”

Farrukh Faheem, a Delhi University professor visiting Anantnag, said he temporarily deactivated his account to avoid any trouble with police. “We have curfewed nights and days, and now we have a curfewed virtual world,” he said.

Indian authorities have been waging an escalating battle against new communication technologies that they fear are being used to mobilise Kashmiri public opinion and organise protests against Indian rule.

Last year, New Delhi banned the use of pre-paid mobile phone cards in Kashmir , citing their potential for misuse by “terrorists,” a decision that left around 3.8m Kashmir phone users disconnected. Nationally, around 90 per cent of Indian phone users have prepaid cards, which require no monthly fee.

New Delhi’s ban on the popular services in Kashmir sparked protests and a Supreme Court challenge, forcing authorities to reverse the decision. Even still, subscribers are now subjected to verification procedures not used elsewhere. Text messaging is also banned in Kashmir.

However, Facebook poses a new challenge, as it gains popularity as a forum for dissent and spreading creative ideas for civil disobedience to challenge Indian rule.

“Facebook is actually becoming one of the platforms connecting Kashmiris and disseminating uncensored information,” said Mr Parvez. “We can organise a public meeting. This is the only democratic space available.”

No referendum should be held. A lot of Pro-India people have already died or deserted the state due to terrorism. The people who remain should either support India and live with it or migrate to Pakistan or China.

Kashmir is a part of India and will always remain a part of India.

Pakistan should forget Kashmir and think about solidfying its internal security.

Dhood maangogey toh Kheer denge..
Kashmir maangogey toh Cheer denge...
