Good Morwe, Dear Sovereign Souls. 🦋
It is October the 4th.
And we have long ignored the pain. The blood. The loss. The fear of the loved ones. Of Kashmir.
The world praised it once. The world called it paradise on earth. And now the world scrolls past it.
The Wound They Planted
This is the work of the treacherous British.
This is the wound the British created in 1947. When they were leaving the Indian subcontinent, they did not just leave. They divided. First into two parts. Then into three. And in the middle of that division, they planted the wound of Kashmir. They deliberately did not want it to heal. They made sure there would be conflict, dispute, and endless problems between the two new nations, so that neither could ever become strong enough to challenge the empire that had just walked away.
Ayatollah Khamenei said it plainly years ago: "For a continuation of conflict in Kashmir, the British intentionally left this wound open in the region."
And the governments on both sides? They knelt. They became the puppets of the masters of the colonies.
What Is Happening Right Now
In Pakistan-administered Kashmir, the state has banned a grassroots citizens' movement the Joint Awami Action Committee and declared it a proscribed terrorist organisation. They banned traders, students, lawyers, and civil society groups for demanding lower electricity tariffs and fair food prices. They sealed its offices. They arrested hundreds. Amnesty International reported more than 500 detentions, with protest organisers putting the number above 600.
The internet has been shut down for over 100 days. Since June 5th. Mobile data. Broadband. Online banking. Students cannot take entrance exams. Businesses cannot operate. Journalists cannot verify what is happening
And the security forces opened fire. On July 27th, on the first day of elections, they fired on protesters in Rawalakot. Amnesty International said the reports were "consistent with the Pakistani authorities' long history of unlawful violence against protesters in Jammu and Kashmir."
At least 19 people were killed that day. The JAAC says more than 83 people have been killed since June. Some reports put the figure higher
Witnesses described bodies everywhere. One man told the ABC: "We picked up the dead bodies; we put them in ambulances and carried some on our shoulders." Another said: "Our kids were killed."
In Indian-administered Kashmir, the pattern is quieter but no less brutal. The government demolished 32 structures belonging to Gujjar and Bakarwal families nomadic communities who have lived on that land for over 75 years. Over two dozen families were dislodged. The government cut off their electricity and water.
A minister in the state government boycotted his own department's event in protest, accusing the administration of "targeted demolitions" against the nomadic tribes.
The UN Human Rights Council has called for protection of human rights in the territory, urging UN mechanisms to address land dispossession, socio-economic marginalisation, and psychological trauma affecting the Kashmiri people.
And UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has called for an impartial inquiry into the killings of protesters, saying there must be accountability if peaceful protesters were harmed.
The Truth They Bury
They call it a "disputed territory." They call it a "bilateral issue." They call it "complex.
It is not complex. It is a wound that was planted by an empire, nursed by puppet governments on both sides, and left to bleed for nearly eighty years
The British did not just divide India. They poisoned the well for generations to come. And the governments that followed, on both sides, chose obedience to the departing master over love for their own people.
The world praised Kashmir as a tourist destination while its people were treated as suspects in their own land.
The wound was not an accident. It was a decision. A decision made in London, paid for in blood in Kashmir.
And the world looks away. The world calls it "complex." The world calls it "bilateral." The world calls it "internal."
It is none of those things. It is a wound kept open on purpose, by design, by those who profit from the bleeding.
So today, do not look away. Do not let the world praise Kashmir's beauty while ignoring Kashmir's pain. Do not let the puppets pretend they are leaders.
Name the wound. Name who planted it. Name who keeps it bleeding.
Because a wound that is named is a wound that can finally begin to heal.
