Those who watched Hindutva journalist Aarti Tikoo Singh at the US Congressional hearings get her ass kicked by Kashmiri activists will not be surprised at her flatulent tweets against the Indian protesters, including calling Arundhati Roy a ‘vile propagandist’. Nationalism makes slobbering idiots out of the sycophants. She’s proud the police have assaulted, injured, even disabled, hundreds of unarmed protesters who she calls ‘rioters trying to set fire to India’. She stooped so low as to try to give a feminist spin to her rightwing vituperations, calling it ‘mansplaining’ when a man journalist called her out on lack of evidence for her accusations.

Bollywood may have a hard time putting out more action films with macho heroes since in real life the manly men actors have shown themselves to be sniveling sycophants to Zionist & Hindutva guys.

Protesters in Kerala, India evoke comparison with Guernica, the Spanish town that in 1937 German bombers turned into a symbol of the atrocity of fascism & war. It was immortalized in Picasso’s painting exhibited in the Museo Reina Sofía in Madrid. The allusion will likely go over the heads of Modi, Shah, & many of their Hindutva followers but it is already apt in Kashmir & headed that way in India.

Assadists & Stalinists have been vigorously denouncing the Hong Kong protesters as violent & outright denying the genocide of Uyghur Muslims. Not unlike what they’re doing in Syria or their denial of the Rohingya genocide armed by Russia & China. Thus far, none (except one article by Tariq Ali) have spoken on the brutal occupation of Kashmir nor even on the current protests in India against the anti-Muslim legislation.

Now China has come out in public support of the internet shutdowns by India, which of course includes several states & occupied Kashmir. Assadists & Stalinists are getting caught in the Islamophobic trap of their own devising. Kashmiri & Indian activists are in a stronger position on social media to take on all who impugn their struggles as ‘jihadi terrorists’. To make any showing, Assadists & Stalinists would have to make common cause with Hindutva fascists. That wouldn’t be alien to them since many actively campaign for Tulsi Gabbard. But If they do, they would expose themselves as moving in the direction of fascism.

This is how Indian forces dealt with two Kashmiri journalists in Kashmir so no wonder there is so little reporting from there now. The reporters were covering a protest in solidarity with Indian protesters against the citizenship legislation.

[Exclusive Visuals] Kashmiri Journalist Azaan Javaid assaulted by JK Police while reporting from Srinagar, his phone was also snatched. This is not an isolated incident of harassment and humiliation of Journalists by Indian Police, many Kashmiri journalists have been beaten, arrested previously under various draconian laws like Public Safety Act. Journalists have also alleged constant intimidation and surveillance by police and intelligence agencies aimed at creating obstacles for Journalists to work freely.

A report by Neeth Nakash, a Kashmiri activist in New Zealand, about getting the bum’s rush by politicians & being forced to move venue when they organized an educational forum on Kashmir:

Everyone has the right to freedom of expression, including the freedom to seek, receive, and impart information and opinions of any kind in any form. This fundamental human right I could never exercise in Kashmir without facing jail time or worse. Not being used to exercising the right, I stayed quiet for years after my arrival in New Zealand, lived in a shell and did not talk much about Kashmir to anyone. People would ask me where I am from, and my answer always was Kashmir, as it should be. Many people knew more about “Cashmere” than “Kashmir”. The first time we brought Kashmir issue to the attention of ordinary New Zealanders was in 2016 when we held a protest in the city of Palmerston North against the indiscriminate use of pellet guns by Indian army, especially on children. We were overwhelmed by the support that we received from the local city councillors, MPs, and the local population. Internet shutdown, communication blockade, and use of pellet guns live ammunition is unheard of in this part of the world.
New Zealanders are unaware of many global issues, which I believe is due to the lack of interest in global politics and international issues and scarce news on these issues by mainstream media of NZ. There is more news about the royal family on primetime TV than there is about Kashmir, Rohingya, the war in Syria Yemen. After 5th August, we held peaceful protest again in different parts of NZ, well within our democratic rights. We decided that we need a debate on this issue where we can engage politicians, academics, human rights activists and discuss ways of channelizing international effort to help resolve this issue. This Kashmir symposium was to be held in the hall in Parliament building of New Zealand. Invites were sent to Mps, universities, human rights organisations, ethic community councils. We received apologies form the speaker Trevor Mallards for not being able to attend but he wished us luck for the symposium. We did get confirmed attendances from the MPs and diplomats until the invite was received by the Indian high commission. Everything turned sour from there, the MPs started to withdraw, our hall booking was cancelled. The organisers held a press conference soon after, to bring public attention to the pressure tactics that were exerted upon them. For an ordinary Kashmiri like myself, it’s immensely important that I speak for my people who are caged and have no means of reaching out for help from the international community. This coercive pressure on the government of NZ to withdraw permission to hold the symposium in the parliament premises is the biggest disappointment in New Zealand so far for me. Whether the pressure came directly from the Indian high commission or some other external agency, it is clear that lobbyists for the government of India are working in every country to silence those who speak for Kashmir. We have always known what we are up against, this will never break our will for seeking freedom from the oppression of India.

“I dream of a free Kashmir, this may not happen in my lifetime, I will pass this dream to my children, the same as it was passed on to me. This dream lives as long as Kashmiri is alive in this world”.

One of those blog statistics sites reports that this month 7.6 thousand people read my blog maryscullyreports.com where I repost my FB posts. That would be really gratifying if I didn’t think a good share of them were FBI, Zionist, or Hindutva bots & agents.
