KASHMIR : RAPE EN MASSE | Ayesha Kagal

On the 10th and 11th August 1990, the army soldiers, rank and file hovering around Pazi Pora, Bali Pora, Konun and others seemed to have been overtaken by vengeance, greed, lust and revenge. They would shoot anyone:- a passer by; a farmer; a teenage boy; an aged man; an old woman or a outh busy with his vocation. The jawans (Indian soldiers) were seen carrying bottles of liquor in their pockets and guns in their hands. More than a company descended on Pazi Pora and isolated forcily women folk from children and men, against the protests and weeping and wailing. Most of the cowmen had run for safety to the forest, but still 20 to 30 women were lodged in a spacious house. The army jawans got a scent of their presence, and pounced on them like vultures. All of them were brought out from their hiding place and 10-15 robust, attractive and healthy women were isolated between the age of seven years and fifty years. One group of lusty soldiers tore their clothes to shreds and rendered them nude. A bonfire was made of thier dresses and other garments at the edge of a field of rice. Committee members found the remnants of burnt clothes even after a week. Another group gulping liquor from bottles jumped over them and took them back to the same hiding place from where they were forced out, there they were raped. A seven-year old girl who was raped was still bleeding five days after the horrific ordeal. The group took their turns raping while crying slogans of "F#%## hind" and so on! [Reproduced "Kashmir Aflame", vol.1&2, Aug. 1990, Tahreek-e-Hurriyet-e-Kashmir].

Rapes and sodomy are very common. Soldiers rape young girls and young boys in the presence of family members. Leeches are often placed on genitals. Family members are woefully forced to rape other members of the family. To humiliate and disintegrate the person, soldiers will squeeze the breasts and genitals, insert metal rods and live cigarettes inside the vagina and rectum. Detainees are forced to perform oral sex on soldiers and to swallow the ejaculate.

In an army firing in Sonar bazaar, two lanes away in the mohalla, a bullet ripped through the face of Mushtaq Malik, a twenty-one year old first B.com student who also attended stenography classes. His family confirmed Mushtaq's death when they identified his wristwatch, after he had been buried. [Ayesha Kagal, Sunday Review Times of Indian, New Dehlis, April 29, 1990]

The uprising of 1931 was ignited by a Muslim, not a Kashmiri

By : Junaid Ahmed

On the eve of Eid, dt. 29th April 1931, Inspector Khem Chand of Dogra police asked Imam Sb. to stop Eid Khutba(Eid sermon), the Muslims there protested on this. Then after few days in Jammu, a Hindu police constable Lamburam disrespected the Quran and on this the Muslims collectively protested on this incident, and this pave way or took a shape of struggle against the Dogra regime. So was this protest and struggle political? This struggle then become the struggle for Struggle for Freedom. The person who first of all ignited the flame of struggle in the kashmiri people was not either a Kashmiri or any Guardian of Kashmiriat, but simply a Muslim Abdul Qadir, who on seeing and observing the miseries and attrocities meted on Muslim Kashmirs, said to them(Muslim Kashmirs),that,"Muslamano,​ now the time has come that the answer has to be given with the stone against the brick, though reminders and requests no diffrence will come to the attrocities and miseries, violations nor the problem/question of disrespect of Quran will get solved. You have to get stand on your feet and fight against the atrocity and Zulm."After that this person is arrested and the court procedure takes place, thousands of people gathered outside the jail premises. At the Zuhr time one Muslim while saying La Ila Ha Illalahu, the bullet of Dogra police makes that person a Matyr, second person stands to say the Kalima and He is also matyred and so like that the Kalima saying persons were Matyred under the volley of bullets.

The underlying point here is that our identity of being a muslim takes our struggle to a different level beyond that of a struggle for rights,piece of land or any such thing.Time and again our muslim character has come to the fore in wake of atrocities and the uprising of 1931 is no different.Islam is absolute and complete in itself and cannot be adhered to fully but in a place where soveriegnity belongs to Allah alone.In absence of such a place there will be attacks on the faith of a muslim time and again.The beastial rule of dogras proved just that and infact took it to an altogether different plane.In it lies a lesson for us.The salvation and success of our struggle lies in pursuing an islamic goal wherein Allah's help as well as victory is guaranteed.The goal of an islamic kashmir and integration with the ummah.Never mind death in pursuing this goal for such are the true martyrs.The people that sacrificed their lives in the summer of 1931 didnt do it for the sake of democracy but for Islam. There is no point in pursuing a Godless nationalist struggle for its failure or success makes no difference at all. Our goal must be to win the favour of Allah(swt) and make our fight legitimate before him rather than seeking the favour of Godless west.The Islamic nature of our struggle is not a taboo as some might think but the only strength we have.Our inspiration must be Islam,our path must be Islam and our goal must be Islam.Surely then victory will be ours Insha'Allah.This struggle is for our existence as muslims and consequently holds the top tier in the priorities' list.Our chances of salvation in this world and importantly the world hereafter lies in pursuing this struggle in the right context and throwing all our weight behind it.

MAMA I AM IN LOVE

In memory of Sameer Rah, 7 years old martyr

One fine afternoon he came rushing

Innocence on his face all gushing

He was emphatic with something great

Enthused this way was not in his trait

He had seen perhaps something unseen

His face was shining with an angelic sheen

He came rushing for his mother and said

Mama I want to reveal something I never had

Ma, I am in love, for which never did I dream

Ma, I know I am still not in that young team

I am a child, but I feel the love inside my soul

This struggle is taking on my mind a big toll

Mother said, my kid I still cannot believe

You still cannot put your hand through the sleeve

Go my lad take it easy and have a tight sleep

I still have the whole house to keep

But he kept on saying the same

Mother do u want to hear her name

Mother I am in love with my death

They will come to stop my breath

Mother I am going to die for my undone crime

Mother let me go, I am left will little time

And he came out of the lap and walked towards the street

Composed and calm he went for his love to greet

They came and took him away in their rage

They beat him till he was out of his cage

He cried at their kicks and buts but did not run

They plugged his mouth with the butt of the gun

He breathed his last after being tossed upon a stone

He met his love, and his mother did not mourn

For he is a lover who did not betray

Martyrs never die, Allah did say

His death gave us a new grave

More Sameer’s shall be consumed in this wave

Till mothers let leave their lads off their laps

Cruel guns shall roar for them perhaps.

Koshur Mazloom with tearful eyes

Fake encounters are a trend in Indian-occupied Kashmir, says NGO

Occupied Srinagar, July 10 (KMS): In occupied Kashmir, a non-governmental organization, Youth Empowerment Services of Kashmir (YES), has demanded reinvestigation of a decade-old encounter in Islamabad district in which three civilians were martyred by Indian troops.

The YES President, Tanveer Ahmad while addressing a news conference in Srinagar said, fake encounters have been a trend in Kashmir. “On March 1, 2011, some innocent Kashmiris were martyred near Janglat Mandi, Islamabad, by Indian Army and Ikhwanis labelling them as militants. The irony is that a 70-year-old man martyred by the Army in the fake gunfight was dubbed as foreign militant.”

He said, “We have moved an application before the Deputy Inspector General (DIG) of police, south Kashmir seeking reinvestigation into the fake encounter. We want the truth to prevail. Justice must be delivered to the families of the victims,” he added.

Tanveer said that the infamous encounter was not the first of its kind in the district. Earlier, he said, some civilians were taken to Shirpora forests by the Army and their corroborators and later killed in a fake shootout, adding, ”Everyone knows that they were civilians.”

He deplored that the Prime Minister of India, Manmohan Singh and puppet Chief Minister of the occupied territory, Omar Abdullah in their speeches claimed that they would take action against human rights violators but there was nothing on ground.
