Kashmir-Indian occupation

Mehwish Sohail
“Als ich noch bei meinen Eltern lebte, habe ich selten mit meiner Familie in Pakistan telefoniert. Meine Verbindung zu Pakistan war für viele Jahre gekappt, was zum großen Teil an meinen Eltern selbst liegt, die sich von all ihren Verwandten zurückgezogen haben. Asma Aunty redet dagegen regelmäßig mit meinen Großeltern, weswegen es auch für mich immer mehr zum Alltag wird. Anfangs haben mir meine Probleme mit der Sprache und mein nervöses Selbst die Kommunikation schwer gemacht, aber die beiden füllen nur zu gern meine Lücken aus und freuen sich allein schon darüber, mich zu sehen, ohne dass ich etwas sagen muss. Es ist fast schon befremdlich, wie gern sie mich noch haben. Sie kennen diese Person, die ich heute bin, doch gar nicht. Wie können sie so lieb zu mir sein? Ich habe nie irgendwas getan, um diese Sanftheit zu verdienen.”
Mehwish Sohail, Like water in your hands

Muhammed Ali Jinnah

Veera Hiranandani, The Night Diary

Wajahat Ali
“Years later, while I was in college, my Dadi asked my mom what I was studying for hours at night, reading all those thick books. My mom said I was most likely going to major in "the humanities."

“India’s ruling pro-hindu militant Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) used the the disputed Kashmir crisis to project Modi as a strong leader against Pakistan — capitalizing on this opportunity ahead of India’s general election, which takes place from April 11 to May 19. Recent surveys suggest Modi and his party have profited from heightened nationalist sentiment with a modest but visible bump in popularity.”

India claims the MiG-21 pilot shot down a more advanced Pakistan F-16 fighter aircraft before his own aircraft was downed — but Pakistan’s civilian and military leadership vehemently denied this.”

“A brief look back in history makes it evident that Jammu and Kashmir’s oppression and colonial exploitation started long before the formation of modern India. Ever since its annexation by the Mughal empire in 1589 AD, Kashmir has never been ruled by Jammu and Kashmir themselves. After the Mughals, the region was ruled by the Afghans (1753-1819), Sikhs (1819-46), and the Dogras (1846-1947) until the Indian and Pakistani states took over.”

“The occupying countries, the three nuclear forces, have put everything not on the people of Jammu and Kashmir, but on the beauty of this land of Jammu and Kashmir. They want to occupy this land, not human beings!
The day when the three occupiers, Pakistan, India and China, any one of the occupiers tried to conquer the people here, then positive results can be obtained, hatred can be erased, but it is not possible for the three occupiers to have anything to do with the people here. No, but it should be green land”
