Chandigarh, India #StandWithKashmir rally, September 25, 2019.

Punjab, India #StandWithKashmir rally including Sikhs, Tamils, & Kashmiris.

“Women in Kashmir aren’t able to access sanitary napkins. The stores are not open, or it is not safe for them to go. They are forced to use old cloth and cotton. This makes them vulnerable to diseases like cervical cancer. This is life under siege. I wish nobody faces such a normalcy ever!”

–Syed Abdulla

How are we to explain Jacinda Ardern doing the right thing after the Christchurch massacre of Muslims not many months ago & now fawning all over Modi whilst he is committing genocide in Kashmir? That’s the way capitalism rolls. If we did some investigation, we would find all sorts of unsavory economic, commercial, military connections between New Zealand & India. Ardern is not going to jeopardize them over the issue of genocide. Just so she knows, what she did after Christchurch in no way mitigates her monstrous groveling over Modi now whilst Kashmiris suffer.

Many of us came to admire & respect Khalsa Aid, a Sikh humanitarian aid group, when they set up food stations for Rohingya refugees at Cox’s Bazar in Bangladesh in 2017. There are a lot of photos of them cooking & serving food. Now we hear that Khalsa Aid provided an ambulance to the family of Aashiq Hussain, a Kashmiri killed in a road accident in India, so they could transport him home for burial. In the midst of all this misery, they are a source of pride in our humanity.

This is a very powerful photo of two young Kashmiri women walking past Indian soldiers. They’re most probably holding their veils over their face, not because the soldiers stink, but because women get sexually harassed in the most vulgar & debased ways by the soldiers. Many have been sexually assaulted & some raped & murdered. That’s the character of military occupation. Occupation is a women’s rights issue.

Demand the immediate, unconditional withdrawal of all Indian troops in Kashmir. Out now!

Please don’t take offense if you have messaged me & I have not responded. Facebook’s message system makes it quite difficult & time-consuming so messages often get lost. If I have not responded to your message, it’s not because I am ignoring you or think you unworthy of response or because I am a slug but that your message got lost in the shuffle. You can always comment, as some do, on any post asking me to check your message. I love chatting with my friends & I rely on the information you send me.
