How India Redefined Sovereignty: Article 370’s Legacy in Kashmir

In the grand theater of global politics, the United Nations has long been viewed as a custodian of peace and a mediator in conflicts. But in Kashmir, the abrogation of Article 370 marked the beginning of an era where India decisively turned the page on international arbitration, casting the UN into the shadows of irrelevance. For decades, the United Nations Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan (UNMOGIP) lingered in Srinagar, a relic of Cold War politics that time had outgrown, but it was the abrogation that delivered the final verdict: its purpose was obsolete.

A note: The list of readings is not exhaustive. It is only an introduction to the history of the occupation. I know annoying "Desis" are going to see this and bitch and moan about how Kashmir is actually integral to their country out of a sense of colonial entitlement. Kashmir belongs to Kashmiris, the natives, no matter what religion they belong to. Neither Pakistan nor India get to decide the matter of Kashmiri sovereignty. The reasons given by both parties as to why Kashmir should be a part of either nation are bullshit. The United Nations itself recognises Kashmir as a disputed region, so I will entertain neither dumbfuckery nor whataboutism. I highly encourage fellow Indians especially to take the time to go through and properly understand the violence the state enacts on Kashmiris. I've also included links to learn more about Kashmiri culture because really, what do the rest of us know about it? Culturally & linguistically Kashmir differs so much from the rest of India and Pakistan (also the way Kashmiri women are fetishised... yikes). It's not just a bilateral issue between the two nations over land, it actually affects the people of Kashmir

Hindu nationalist movement suppoting the kerala story and kashmir files

?? And the Kurdish nationalist movement lays claim to lands that they seized following a genocide they largely abetted-

I’m not taking about the details of the specific movements.

I’m saying that movements for indigenous sovereignty can be just as messy and potentially disastrous as any other political movement.

Sometimes the time is wrong, the place is wrong, the tactics are wrong, the rhetoric is wrong, or the leaders are bad or corrupt. All of these things are possible in movements for indigenous sovereignty. That doesn’t make them colonial movements; it just makes them bad or good but flawed political movements.

Trika Shastra

Kashmir Shaivism is a religio-philosophical creed that deals with the three fundamentals of human existence: Man, Universe and the Ultimate Principle governing the world. Outlining the key concepts of Trika system In his book Pamarthsara, Abhinavagupta describes Consciousness of man as the Atman, the core eternal witness of all that is undergoing ceaseless change in body and mind.

Since Shaivism treats Absolute Truth under the three broad principles of God, Soul and Matter, the system is known as Trika Shastra or simply Trika. It is based on the three energies of Lord Shiva, 1) Para, the subjective energy; 2) Parapara, the cognitive energy and 3) Apara, the objective energy of the Lord. It is a universal spiritual philosophy in which all aspects of life are integrated and taken in totality. The soul is said to be of the same nature as Consciousness and there is no difference either between individual soul, technically called the Pasu and the universal self called Pati, or between the world of consciousness and that of senses.

Trika philosophy aims at intelligent synthesis of all that is abiding and enduring in the six systems of Indian thought. It adopted monism from the non-dual philosophy of Vedanta, theism from the Vaishnavites, logic from the Nyaya system, discipline from the Yoga aphorisms of Patanjali and popular appeal from the Buddhists.

Yet, Trika system represents a positive and a theistic outlook in contrast to the absolute monism of Vedanta. Shiva is the Ultimate Reality endowed with sovereignty of will, omniscience and omnipotence. He is beyond everything. He is both immanent and transcendent. Time, form and space do not limit him, for He is above all mutation and change.

Tributes to the Border Security Force on Its Foundation Day: Col Rajyavardhan Rathore

The Border Security Force: Guardians of India’s Borders

The BSF was established in the aftermath of the 1965 war with Pakistan to secure India’s borders and prevent cross-border infiltration and smuggling. Over the years, the force has evolved into one of the largest and most respected paramilitary organizations in the world.

Key Roles of the BSF

Border Security: Safeguarding 7,416 kilometers of India’s land border with Pakistan and Bangladesh.

Internal Security: Assisting in counter-insurgency operations and disaster relief.

Global Engagements: Participating in United Nations peacekeeping missions.

The BSF’s commitment to duty goes beyond the call of guarding borders; they ensure peace and stability within and beyond the nation’s boundaries.

Colonel Rajyavardhan Rathore: A Soldier’s Tribute

As a decorated soldier and leader, Col Rajyavardhan Rathore shares a profound connection with India’s armed and paramilitary forces. On the occasion of BSF’s foundation day, his tributes resonate with deep admiration for their selfless service.

Recognizing Valor and Dedication

Colonel Rathore acknowledged the relentless dedication of BSF personnel, stating, “The BSF is not just a force; it is a family that works tirelessly, braving the harshest terrains and conditions to ensure that every Indian sleeps peacefully at night.”

Personal Connection as a Soldier

Having served in the Indian Army, Col Rathore understands the challenges of life at the border. His words reflect the camaraderie shared among servicemen, emphasizing their sacrifices and the emotional toll of being away from loved ones.

The Sacrifices of BSF Soldiers

Life at the border is not for the faint-hearted. From the icy heights of Kashmir to the scorching deserts of Rajasthan, BSF personnel operate in extreme conditions, often putting their lives on the line to uphold the nation’s security.

Challenges Faced by the BSF

Adverse Weather Conditions: Harsh climates in border areas demand exceptional resilience.

Constant Vigilance: The threat of infiltration and smuggling keeps the force on high alert.

Emotional Strain: Long separations from family and loved ones test their mental strength.

Colonel Rathore highlighted these sacrifices, urging citizens to honor their dedication by supporting their families and respecting their service.

Celebrating the Legacy of the BSF

Foundation day is not just a commemoration of the past but a celebration of the present and a promise for the future. The BSF’s achievements in maintaining border security, promoting harmony in volatile regions, and supporting disaster relief efforts showcase their diverse capabilities.

Achievements of the BSF

Successfully thwarted numerous infiltration attempts.

Played a crucial role in combating terrorism in Jammu & Kashmir.

Contributed to community-building initiatives in border villages.

Col Rathore lauded these accomplishments, calling them a testament to the BSF’s unwavering spirit.

Colonel Rathore’s Call to Action

In his tribute, Col Rathore urged the nation to remember the sacrifices of BSF personnel not just on foundation day but every day. He stressed the importance of recognizing their role in shaping a secure and prosperous India.

Promoting Awareness

Colonel Rathore emphasized the need for greater awareness about the BSF’s contributions among the younger generation. He encouraged schools and colleges to include lessons on the role of paramilitary forces in maintaining India’s sovereignty.

Conclusion: A Salute to the Heroes

The Border Security Force is more than just a protective shield — it is the heartbeat of India’s security apparatus. On its foundation day, Col Rajyavardhan Rathore’s heartfelt tributes remind us of the sacrifices and valor of these brave men and women. As India celebrates this milestone, let us pledge to honor their service, support their families, and ensure their legacy of dedication continues to inspire future generations.

"Some anticolonial nationalists were real nationalists, that is, they saw claims of self-determination within their imagined community of a nation as ‘separatist’, ‘secessionist’, ‘ethnonationalist insurgencies’ or ‘terrorism’. Such framings, rife in Indian discourses on Kashmir, are ahistorical and dehumanising. When we move beyond seeing these regions from the perspective of the dominant nation-state, we come to see how they are places with their own histories, imaginaries and political aspirations – some of which may reinscribe the nation, while others seek to move beyond it through understandings of other forms of sovereignty.

In popular and even scholarly discourses, colonialism is often seen as happening ‘overseas’ – from Europe to somewhere in the Global South. Many people see colonialism as something that we are past temporally, despite acknowledgement of its ongoing legacies. Forms of colonialism within the Global South remain more difficult for many to see because many of these regions are geographically contiguous to one another and, thus, seen as having some form of cultural or racial unity that would form a nation. This results in what Goldie Osuri calls a ‘structural concealment of the relationship between postcolonial nation-states and their [own colonies],’ as well as the concealment of ‘the manner in which postcolonial nationalism is also an expansionist project.’ Contemporary colonies – like Kashmir, Western Sahara, Puerto Rico, Palestine, East Turkestan, among others – show the porous boundary between colonialism and postcolonialism, raising some difficult questions about the current global order."

As an armed rebellion against Indian rule raged in Kashmir through the 1990s and 2000s, Jamaat-e-Islami, an influential socio-religious group, called for a boycott whenever an election was held, claiming the exercise was aimed at legitimising what it would describe as New Delhi’s occupation of the Himalayan region, which is also claimed in part or full by Pakistan and China.

But as Kashmir votes in the first regional election in a decade starting on Tuesday, the Jamaat has itself entered the political fray, backing at least 10 candidates in the election. It is a remarkable turnaround for a group that remains banned under India’s anti-terror laws and was once regarded as the mothership of the militant Hizbul Mujahideen.

After Narendra Modi’s government altered India’s constitution in 2019 to do away with the symbolic autonomy of the administrative region of Jammu and Kashmir, it cracked down hard on the separatist movement in the region, jailing thousands of people. The Jamaat, having long been at the vanguard of the movement, was a prime target. Schools associated with the group were ordered shut and the properties of many members were seized in an attempt to curtail its reach and operational capabilities.

As recently as February, the Indian government said that the Jamaat was “continuing to be involved in fomenting terrorism and anti-India propaganda for fuelling secessionism in Jammu and Kashmir, which is prejudicial to the sovereignty, security and integrity of India”.

This is what makes the Jamaat’s participation in the election perplexing, and even experts in the region are divided over what it means. Noor Baba, a renowned Kashmiri political scientist, says it could be a tactical move on the part of a minority within the movement – contesting the election as independents in the hope of “protection or rehabilitating themselves after the suffering they have endured”.

The decision to join the fray, he suggests, may not have involved the group’s jailed leadership. As a result of internal divisions in the past, Prof Baba says, the Jamaat has suffered at the hands of both the Indian authorities as well as the militants. Similar divisions may have cracked open again.

“There are many questions,” he tells The Independent. “Is the top leadership, which is in jail, on board with this or is it not?”

Another theory is that the decision stems from the Jamaat’s desire to have the anti-terror ban lifted. There have been reports about conversations between the Jamaat and intermediaries of the Indian government such as Altaf Bukhari, head of a local political party.

Ahead of this election, Omar Abdullah, the former chief minister of the former state, had urged the Narendra Modi government to lift the ban on the Jamaat to enable its participation in the assembly election. Mehbooba Mufti, another former chief minister and president of the People’s Democratic Party, said she would be “happy” to see the Jamaat return to the electoral arena.

Indian political analyst Apoorvanand Jha, however, sees a more sinister play at work. He says fielding independent candidates is part of a broader strategy of Modi’s BJP to weaken mainstream political parties such as the National Conference and the Congress and reap the dividend.

“The BJP’s aim is to install a government headed by a Hindu chief minister. That can be achieved by securing as many seats as possible in the Jammu region and fielding as many independents as possible in the valley [of Kashmir], making them win and then taking their support to form the government,” he tells The Independent.

The BJP is seeking to control Kashmir politically by creating chaos, he says. “To achieve that,” he adds, “the BJP can do anything. It can go to any extent, play any game, collaborate with the radicals, collaborate with separatists.”

The Independent has contacted the BJP for comment.

India has long held up Kashmir, its only majority Muslim territory, as a symbol of its secularism. But when the BJP government revoked its autonomy, Kashmiris accused the Hindu nationalist party of trying to change its religious demographic by settling Indians from elsewhere in the region.

Mr Jha says the BJP wants to win the election in order to show its core Hindu base that “see, this is a Muslim-populated area which we have now annexed”.

The candidates backed by the Jamaat maintain that their election participation is about local issues.

“Ideologies work in time and space. We have to be accommodative and flexible,” Talat Majeed, who is contesting the Pulwama constituency, told reporters recently.

Another candidate, Sayar Ahmad Reshi, says their participation in the election is necessary to fill a political vacuum created by regional parties such as the National Conference and the People’s Democratic Party.

The Jamaat’s participation seems to have enthused some pro-India factions in Kashmir. “This election is unique in recent times because the banned Jamaat-e-Islami is openly backing and campaigning for independent candidates owing allegiance to it,” Mr Abdullah said in an interview with the Hindustan Times. “This is a huge change from previous elections. Otherwise, ever since I have seen politics here from 1996 onwards, the Jamaat has been at the forefront of trying to stop people from voting.”

Ali Mohammad Watali, a former police chief of Kashmir, isn’t as enthused. The Jamaat was “pro-Pakistan and pro-terrorism”, he was quoted as saying by Frontline magazine. “Now they have changed their stance suddenly. It looks like this is being done by the agencies so that the BJP can form a government here with the help of new political fronts, including the Jamaat-e-Islami.”

“Agencies” is a catch-all term used in Kashmir for the intelligence, security and surveillance apparatus of the Indian state.

The Jamaat candidates have indicated their willingness to form alliances, before or after the election, with any party that works to “restore dignity to the people of Jammu and Kashmir”.

Prof Saddiq Wahid, a senior visiting fellow at the Centre for Policy Research think tank in New Delhi, tells The Independent the BJP’s actions in Jammu and Kashmir since the revocation of its autonomy have been aimed at creating confusion and chaos. “How is Jamaat suddenly into the picture?” he asks.

He fears that the political landscape of Kashmir is being manipulated to dilute local representation and prevent self-governance.

“They do not want the people of Jammu and Kashmir to have a government that will allow them to govern themselves,” he says, referring to the Indian government.

The fundamental question, though, is whether people will trust the candidates backed by the Jamaat, Prof Baba points out. “How many people will vote for them, support them?”

The problem with that latter category is the imposition of the category "religion" onto ritual systems which formerly recognised no such category. in probably the most egregious example of this (the US and canada) harmless indigenous rituals like the use of hallucinogenic plants and stories transmitted in indigenous languages were considered to be not religion, and thus lesser than religion. because of this they were persecuted into extinction which is obviously genocidal and bad. therefore gaining recognition as religion is the basis of their rights to practice these traditions. its a bad system but it's also the only reason any of that stuff is called religion.

indigenous nations are sovereign and that means it's fully up to them how best to maintain their traditions or to stop doing so.

you can't really be too insistent on indigenous peoples' ways of doing things when DEFINITIONALLY indigeneity only exists when there's a colonial authority to define and impose it and thus the people so defined DEFINITIONALLY are operating in positions of severely compromised agency.

trying to abolish somebody else's religion, right or wrong, mostly just makes you an asshole with only a handful of (basically caste-related) exceptions (thus tibetan buddhism is fair game, for example, while iroquois oral tradition is absolutely not). there's the objective truth that None Of This Shit Is Real, but other peoples' lifestyles revolve around traditions and it's up to them what they do with that information. thats what sovereignty means. respect for sovereignty is the basis of all correct international relations and if you don't have that you're making an attack on their sovereignty.

and this also fully applies in countries like afghanistan, kashmir, and palestine that absolutely have what can be much less controversially defined as a religion in islam, many persecuted muslim, buddhist, and christian groups in India for example. sure the communist groups in palestine have more solid ideologies than hamas, but when you're in the middle of a battle to liberate masjid al-aqsa (which the Palestinian resistance is) it's not really the time to bring up these issues in a way that disrespects palestinian agency and the elected government of palestine.

and that's not just being "pro-religious" it's just having baseline respect for the sovereignty of imperialised nations

even the most successful example of a sovereign nation abolishing religion (socialist albania) the country's leadership put repeated emphasis on not offending particularly religuous elders and so forth so as not to provoke a backlash. and this was sovereign albanian authorities in a sovereign albania. again not "pro-religuous", in fact the most successful atheist campaign in history (1967), but there were rules of decency to observe that helped legitimise the campaign in the eyes of the people and it worked so well that it's literally still considered to be a good thing even after 35 years of anti-communist backlash as an american neocolony

Not a big fan of the pro-religious left cause it's always 'you ought to respect people's strongly held spiritual beliefs' like ok I'm not joking when I say maybe you should have more respect for my strongly held belief that none of this shit is real

[ad_1] External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar on Tuesday underscored the need for a just international order. Speaking at the Raisina Dialogue session on ‘Thrones and Thorns: Defending the Integrity of Nations,’ he criticized the United Nations for equating attackers and victims in global conflicts, particularly in Kashmir. Jaishankar termed Pakistan’s occupation of parts of Kashmir as the “longest-standing illegal occupation” of any territory since World War II. He lambasted the UN for transforming the “invasion” into a “dispute” and pointed to Western nations—UK, Canada, Belgium, Australia, and the US—as responsible for this misrepresentation. “After the Second World War, the longest standing illegal, I would say presence, occupation of a territory by another country pertains to India, what we saw in Kashmir.

India Slams Pakistan at UN, Labels It a ‘Failed State’ Spreading Lies

India strongly condemned Pakistan at the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) after Islamabad once again raised the Jammu and Kashmir issue. In a powerful Right of Reply on Wednesday in Geneva, India’s representative Kshitij Tyagi called Pakistan a “failed state” that survives on international handouts and spreads falsehoods orchestrated by its military-terrorist complex.

India’s Strong Rebuttal at UNHRC

India denounced Pakistan’s misleading propaganda, stating:

“To witness Pakistan’s so-called leaders continue to propagate lies manufactured by its military-terrorist complex is regrettable but not surprising.”

Tyagi criticized Pakistan for misusing the UN platform, saying the council’s time was being wasted on a nation that thrives on instability. He further added that such countries are irresponsible in governance and known for inhumane actions.

Jammu & Kashmir’s Progress Undeniable

Affirming India’s sovereignty over Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, Tyagi asserted that these regions are and will always remain integral parts of India. He highlighted the remarkable political, social, and economic progress seen in Jammu & Kashmir in recent years, proving the people’s faith in India’s governance despite decades of Pakistan-sponsored terrorism.

Pakistan’s Double Standards on Human Rights

Tyagi also exposed Pakistan’s hypocrisy, pointing out that while Pakistan funds and aids cross-border terrorism, it simultaneously accuses India of human rights violations.

“A country constantly monitored by the United Nations for violating international policies has no right to comment—positively or negatively—on any other nation,” he asserted.

India’s Message to Pakistan: Fix Your Own House First

Tyagi urged Pakistan to focus on governing its own country instead of obsessing over India. He concluded by emphasizing that India stands for democracy, development, and respect for human rights, values that Pakistan should learn from instead of spreading baseless propaganda.
