Kashmir: Constructed Dramas of Political Instability

It's just another rehash of an ancient narrative, dusted off like a forgotten Bollywood plot: a devastating attack on tourists in picturesque Pahalgam, Kashmir - a tragedy, without a doubt, but sadly, as predictable as the inflammatory rhetoric that follows. Within hours, India's government, with its reflexes more accustomed to propaganda than forensic analysis, rushes to blame Pakistan. No hard evidence, no thorough investigation - just an allegation, embellished by theatrics.

Now, let's pause this theatrical performance that is the Kashmir conflict and ask a pressing question: is this attack about tourists, or are we witnessing yet another chapter in the continued tragedy and political posturing between two nuclear-armed nations?

India's version of events is as tiresome as it is simplistic. According to Delhi, the resistance in Kashmir can only be explained by Pakistani manipulation. They claim militants, funded and trained by Islamabad, are dispatched with ease to stir unrest in the valley, targeting not only Indian forces but the Hindus themselves. But this one-dimensional view erases a glaring truth: resistance in Kashmir is rooted in local grievances, birthed out of humiliation, violence, and the unfulfilled promise of self-determination.

The wheels of the machinery of Indian propaganda were set in motion decades ago. By 1989, Kashmir erupted in a mass uprising, and it wasn't Islamabad that ignited the flame. It was Indian repression, oppressive governance, and systematic disenfranchisement that pushed Kashmiris to the brink. Delhi responded with military escalation, and as the body count rose, the international community looked away, deaf to the cries of the oppressed.

The latest abolishment of Kashmir's so-called special autonomous status by the Modi regime in 2019 serve as a grim reminder that India remains unmoved by the plight of Kashmiris. With one bureaucratic stroke, the illusion of Kashmiri self-rule was shattered, and any remaining hope of a UN-promised plebiscite was washed away, much like the lingering reminders of international law, human rights, and the broken promises of a free Kashmir.

Suspicions about the timing of the Pahalgam attack have swirled, with many analysts raising eyebrows at the convenient timing that coincides with broader geopolitical plays. As the flames of nationalism are stoked, a few innocent lives become the spark that shapes public opinion, reshaping headlines in the media frenzy and fuelling the fire of anger and hatred.

Meanwhile, Pakistan is hardly off the hook, with internal turmoil plaguing the nation. With Chinese investments in Pakistan's China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) under attack, beleaguered generals are reduced to pleading with their Chinese patrons for continuation of investment. As political and economic chaos ensues, the repeating cycle of fear, repression, and fraud continue.

Ironically, as the Pakistani military regime struggles with its own woes, it continues to answer to the strategic demands of its Western overlords, with CIA, Mossad, and RAW working behind the scenes to stir the pot in the Himalayan region. Reports of the intelligence trinity acting openly, subverting events in Kashmir, have become quite common, despite being dismissed as conspiracy theories by the mainstream media.

Amidst the chaos and deception, the voice of Kashmiris has fallen silent - a tragic reminder that their pleas and their pain have been swept under the rug by the global media and political elite. The Kashmir crisis is no longer just a regional conflict - it is a platform for military adventurism, geopolitical ambition, and nationalist posturing. Through the theatrics and spectacle, we must never forget the lives that have been lost, the families destroyed, and the collective cries for justice that have echoed through the Himalayas.
