The Modi government’s approach to Kashmir has crossed every democratic and humanitarian boundary, evolving into a terrifying campaign of control, censorship, and repression. In a damning report, Al Jazeera has exposed a false flag operation in Pahalgam — a manufactured incident used by the BJP to justify its militarized grip on the region and stoke nationalist hysteria across India. This deliberate manipulation of events is part of a broader pattern aimed at delegitimizing Kashmiri voices and labeling dissent as terrorism.
Behind the scenes of this political theatre lies a brutal reality: over 1,500 Kashmiris have been detained without evidence, thousands of homes reduced to rubble without due process, and a civilian population trapped in fear. The BJP’s demographic agenda threatens the cultural and political identity of Kashmir, transforming it into a laboratory of state-sponsored social engineering.
Most alarming is the war on journalism. Since the abrogation of Article 370, press freedom in Kashmir has all but vanished. Journalists face daily harassment, arbitrary arrests, and even death for reporting the truth. International watchdogs like Reporters Without Borders (RSF) and Amnesty International have condemned India’s actions, with RSF calling Kashmir one of the most dangerous places on Earth for journalists. More than 20 journalists have been killed since 1989 — a chilling statistic that underscores the cost of truth in Modi’s India.
Under the guise of democracy, India has deployed an iron-fisted strategy to crush resistance, silence the press, and rewrite reality. As global powers remain disturbingly silent, Kashmir bleeds — not just from bullets, but from the erasure of truth itself.
