Ghamov tsopmut : Sorrow has torn me apart. Tsop means to bite but here for contextual meaning, added torn apart. Literally it could mean, ‘sorrow is biting me.’ Grandma’s phrases is a series of sayings and proverbs that are spoken in our intimate spaces in Kashmir. #kashmir #kashmirhistoryproject #kashmiris #kashmiri #kashmirtourism #kashmirlovers #kashmirvalley #srinagar #sufisayings #sufi #sufism #quotesdaily #faithoverfear #rainyday #rainy #asmr #thistooshallpass #keepgoing https://www.instagram.com/museumofkashmir/p/CXI8PA0M_HH/?utm_medium=tumblr
As we sit comfortably in our homes and have fun, the Kashmiris and Uighurs are crying blood. They are afraid everyday, every moment. Please don't forget them in this New Year and let's pray together. In 2020, we hope that no one will remain silent in the face of this situation. We hope that the war, the torture on their land ends and that they achieve peace. May Allah give them the strength to resist. My heart, our heart are with them. InshaAllah Allah helps them. Amin
A communications blackout and curfew aims to protests after India's government revoked a special status.
India is re-defining its relationship with Kashmir after seven decades. Here's what you need to know.
SRINAGAR, India (AP) — Tens of thousands of government forces in riot gear patrol Indian-controlled Kashmir. Streets lined with shuttered sh
The decision to revoke Kashmir's special status is part of a ghastly—and popular—agenda for Delhi's hard-right Hindu government.
SRINAGAR, India (AP) — An unusual silence cloaks the center of the city. Its streets, once teeming with traffic, are dotted with spools of c
It says India's telecommunications ban and other moves will "will exacerbate the human rights situation".
To get the idea:
“Tens of thousands of additional troops were deployed in what is already one of the world's most militarised zones ahead of the government's announcement on Monday, and more troops have been sent since.
For many people in Indian-administered Kashmir, Article 370 - as the law guaranteeing special status was known - was the main justification for being a part of India. By revoking it, the Bharaitya Janata Party-led government has irrevocably changed Delhi's relationship with the region, says the BBC's Geeta Pandey.”
“The communication blackout — with landlines, cellphones and internet all down — means that people within Kashmir can’t call one another or speak to friends and relatives outside the region, relying only on limited cable TV and local radio reports.”
““I haven’t seen my cancer-patient brother from last four days. He lives in another neighborhood. I don’t even know if he is alive or dead,” Mohammad lamented.”
“This is not the first time that the Hindu right, led by Modi, has unleashed mass suffering in pursuit of its vision of Hindutva, an India that is largely or even exclusively for the Hindus. In 2002, when Modi was chief minister of the western state of Gujarat, a pogrom against Muslims left nearly a thousand dead and turned many more into refugees. Since Modi’s tenure as prime minister began in 2014, and especially since being handed a second term in resounding fashion earlier this year, such violence has percolated through the entire nation, provoking lynchings, assassinations, rapes, beatings, imprisonments, and constant abuse on airwaves and social media by Modi’s cheerleaders.”
Commentators often refer to Kashmir as being trapped in a "cycle of violence". It is not simply a "cycle"; it is a downward spiral. Kashmir is spiralling into destruction. The only hope for Kashmir lies in a future where sincere leadership in both India and Pakistan recognises Kashmiris as stakeholders in the Kashmir conflict and attempts to resolve it.

I mean, I guess, but black bloccers aren't just disaffected youths though? They're dyed in the wool anarchists, experienced activists who do this thing enough to buy the flag for it. They wouldn't want to call themselves it, but whether they like it or not they're in the vanguard of that movement and have a responsibility to have more of a political strategy outside symbolic anger. What if the FLN in Algeria had no political strategy outside make total destroy? Did they pick their targets at random? Idk man I'd just rather it was the big barricades people were building in DC that was on the news rather than some guy knocking over a bin.

Kashmiri Muslims offer Eid prayers at Eidgah in Srinagar in 1911-1920. The 50 acres of Eidgah was purchased by Mir Mohammad Hamdani in the 15th century. He gave it to the public for offering the congregational Eid prayers. Many eminent scholars and Saints of Kashmiris have delivered their sermons at Eidgah such as Sheikh ul Aalam and Sheikh Hamza Makhdoom. During the Sikh regime the Muslims were barred from offering prayers until the last governor Sheikh Mohiuddin lifted the ban. In the background is the historical Aali Masjid which was built during the reign of Sultan Hassan Shahmiri in 1471. It is the second largest mosque of Kashmir after the Jamia Masjid. Eidgah is also a playing field for the local residents but the years of encroachments and state apathy have reduced it to just 8 acres. Kashmir’s biggest martyrs graveyard is also part of Eidgah. The date of the picture is between 1911-1920. It’s most likely that the prayers were led by the then Mirwaiz, Maulana Ahmadullah Shah. First one is the colourised version of the original photo taken by an unknown photographer for the Royal Geographical Society. #KashmirHistoryProject #KashmirInColour #Kashmir #eidmubarak #eid #kashmiris #kashmirdiaries #kashmirlovers #mosquesofworld https://www.instagram.com/p/COzfkENnBxK/?utm_medium=tumblr
