On Aug 5, 2019, the Modi regime snatched away what little was left of the freedoms of the people of Kashmir. But the relentless struggle for self-determination wages on. The Modi Government abrogated Articles 370 and 35-A that guaranteed the autonomous status of the Princely State of Jammu and Kashmir. Over 100.000 civilians have died, 10,000 people have been disappeared. civic and political life is critically suppressed, a forced demographic change is ongoing---Kashmir is on a genocide watch. The crisis requires the attention of the world powers to avert a potential nuclear catastrophe 
 

 Join us for a special webinar this Sunday on the background and the current situation in Kashmir explain by prominent scholars and leaders

Yesterday, on August 5, two years since India removed article 370, ICNA CSJ organized a rally/protest in front of the Indian Embassy in Washington DC. Here are a couple of pictures from the protest.

It’s been two years 

Two years since the abrogation of amendment 370 of India’s constitution. 

For two years, the once autonomous states of Jammu and Kashmir have been deprived of their autonomy. 

Let’s call it what it is- an occupation. 

The Indian Military is occupying the once autonomous regions of Jammu and Kashmir and over the past 2 years has imposed a cruel communications blackout, torture, violence, and heavy militarization of the area. 

To make matters worse, a nationalist campaign called Hindutva is responsible for the Indian government’s further disenfranchisement of the Muslim majority state. 

For the past 2 years, Kashmiri’s have suffered in darkness, and the whole world has been watching in horror. 

Renowned journalist Iftikhar Gilani has put together a comprehensive PowerPoint presentation on Kashmir. You can access the presentation by clicking the link below.
