The protests are part of a popular uprising against Indian rule and heavy-handed police tactics in Kashmir.
The recent uprising appears to have no links to Pakistan.
Instead, it is led by Kashmiri youth ranging from six to 30 who are using a mix of nonviolent defiance of curfews and rock throwing at security forces in a bid to win independence for Kashmir.
London Review of Books wrote on July 22, 2010, “More than a hundred thousand people marched peacefully to the UN office in Srinagar.
London Review of Books wrote on July 22, 2010, “More than a hundred thousand people marched peacefully to the UN office in Srinagar.
They burned effigies, chanted ‘Azadi, azadi’ (‘freedom’) and appealed to India to leave Kashmir.
The movement was not crushed.
It was merely ignored.
Nothing changed. Now a new generation of Kashmiri youth is on the march.”
European Parliamentary Delegation said that “Kashmir is the most beautiful prison of the world.”
