INDIA’S ruling Bharatiya Janata Party maintains the assault on Kashmiri culture and identification and imposes its Hindutva ideology on occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
A recent tweet by Mehbooba Mufti, former chief minister of J&K, centered interest on the pressured singing of a bhajan (Hindu hymn) at a faculty in Kulgam and somewhere else. A video of Muslim students making a song the bhajan circulated extensively on social media, prompting fierce protests from Muslim corporations.
The Muttahida Majlis-i-Ulema, comprising 30 Kashmiri firms, denounced the motion and said it turned into designed to accelerate “the so-called integration of the younger generation with the Hindutva concept of India”. It knew this as a part of efforts to erode the location’s Muslim identification.
Led via Kashmiri leader Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, who has been in detention for the beyond three years, the nonsecular body pointed to attempts to “browbeat” Muslim pupils and undermine their role, bringing up the current arrests of nonsecular leaders in India’s today's intensification of repression.
Last month, two ulemas had been arrested and several Islamic scholars charged under the draconian public safety act in a crackdown on Muslim companies in Kashmir. These arrests had been roundly condemned by way of Pakistan. A Foreign Office declaration described the unlawful detention of Islamic students as “but any other Indian try and rob the Kashmiri humans in their awesome religious and cultural identification”.
The BJP has additionally taken management of the J&K Waqf Board and as a consequence all its homes across the vicinity inclusive of Srinagar’s Edgar, an ancient floor for congregational prayers. Condemning this in a message from prison, Shabbir Shah, vice chair of the All Parties Hurriyat Conference (APHC), accused the BJP government of infringing the spiritual rights of Muslims. Other Kashmiri leaders portrayed it as part of the BJP’s efforts to occupy prominent locations of religious significance for Muslims in the course of the occupied territory. This includes the control of shrines.
As a Kashmiri journalist instructed me, “Seizing control of shrines is not a harmless pass; it's miles a repressive movement aimed at casting off their political function as well as their Muslim identity.” He defined that shrines had been a fundamental part of Kashmir’s political and social landscape. “They have now not handiest provided areas for worship, however in an area below profession for many years, they've often been the only locations where Kashmiri Muslims could meet and confer.
The BJP has taken different steps in its onslaught against the Kashmiri way of life.
For the beyond one hundred years or more, Urdu turned into the professional language of J&K. But in 2020, India’s ruling birthday celebration ended Urdu’s special fame through rules that made Hindi, Kashmiri, and Dogri respectable languages in J&K, similarly to Urdu and English. There are moves afoot to trade the script of the Kashmiri language from Nastaliq to the Devanagari script. Kashmiri sources within the occupied Valley say this has already been performed unannounced and unofficially.
The BJP is attempting to disempower Muslims and erode their nonsecular and cultural identification inside the occupied area.
A series of movements to disempower Kashmiris and alternate the Muslim identity of Kashmir have observed India’s illegal annexation of J&K on Aug 5, 2019. With the abrogation of Article 370 of the Indian charter, which gave the country unique fame, J&K changed into bifurcated and absorbed into the Indian Union. This becomes in blatant violation of UN Security Council Resolutions that bar the parties from bringing approximately any material alternate in the scenario.

Delhi then imposed a lockdown and conversation clampdown and done mass arrests of political leaders and activists in a sweeping crackdown.
the Indian government has extensively intensified the repression of the humans of J&K … by subjecting them to more than one human rights violation. These violations include restrictions on rights to freedom of opinion and expression; to liberty and safety of man or woman; to movement; to privacy; and to treatment and access to justice. The government has committed those violations with absolute impunity.”
In contravention of global law and UN resolutions, Delhi has executed administrative and demographic modifications to disempower Muslims in Kashmir. It introduced new abode regulations and has, account that August 2019, issued over 3.4 million so-referred to as abode certificates to non-Kashmiri outsiders, who were made eligible after the abrogation of Articles 370 and 35A of the Indian charter. This action resembles Israel’s unlawful agreement policies and is a feature of procedures utilized by occupiers.
The Modi government also proceeded with a plan to gerrymander electoral constituencies to present Jammu with more representation to reduce Muslim representation and shift the political stability to Hindus in the area. The plan to carve out new constituencies was introduced by way of India’s Delimitation Commission in May 2022. This gives Jammu six more seats in the 90-member J&K Assembly even as Kashmir is to accept one extra. This will take Jammu’s general seats to forty-three leaving Kashmir with 47. The malign rationale of this flow is evident from the truth that Kashmir Valley’s population turned into nearly seven million even as Jammu’s populace is five.3m consistent with the 2011 census (remaining India held). Estimates of Kashmir’s modern-day population are glaringly higher.
The goal in the back of this delimitation is to maintain elections that the Modi government could then declare have ‘normalized’ the state of affairs and ‘encouraged’ its August 2019 movement. But this plan has met fierce resistance from Kashmiri leaders which includes historically pro-Indian politicians who in the past participated in elections, always boycotted by the APHC for being sham sporting events. All have referred to as the plan unacceptable and rejected it as a travesty of the principle of 1 guy one vote. In July, the leader electoral officer inside the occupied Valley announced granting balloting rights to any Indian citizen, even brief citizens, in another try and exchange the region’s demography
Can the Modi government gain those sinister objectives? Can Kashmir’s Muslim identity be so without problems obliterated via coercive measures and administrative diktats? These actions have in fact simplest intensified the anger and resentment among most of the human beings of Kashmir and bolstered their will to resist the injustice of occupation.
