Thousands of Israeli soldiers are quarantined after many tested positive for coronavirus. Were Palestinians they came in contact with also tested? This raises the question of those one-million Indian soldiers in Kashmir. Have any of them been screened? What about US soldiers in Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq, & the 700 other US bases overseas? Militarism doesn’t just spread disease. It is a disease.

Amnesty International India calls on the Indian government to fully restore internet services in Kashmir to respond to the coronavirus health crisis.

#Coronavirus #Kashmir
At the time of global crisis and emergency, the governments across the counties are trying their best to keep the citizens aware, save their lives, pass on essential information via different (Internet) platforms like social media, blogs, web-portals, news websites, videos, EXCEPT KASHMIR. Instead of appeals from the different countries, organizations including the Amnesty International, the government has refused to resume 3g/4g services in #KASHMIR putting lives of 8 million people in danger.

School and college students across the globe can access online classes, learning, lessons, lectures, study material except KASHMIRI kids and college students.

People across the globe have started working from their homes except KASHMIRIS, courtesy #Internet.

Due to the COVID19 pandemic, restrictions are imposed across the globe, but no where in the world, except KASHMIR, you will see barbed wires, people being stopped and frisked by gun-wielding soldiers and policemen holding pellet guns.

A Kashmiri friend tells me India is preventing Kashmiri students in Pakistan from returning home whilst it is allowing tourists to enter Kashmir without screening for coronavirus. Modi & his gang should be lined up against a wall & pummeled with cow manure.

“The storm in the city
vandalized every inch
by its gushy winds
deserted streets,withers bodies,
houses without rooftops and the trees
with broken branches
All is the scene the eyes could meet,
Amid the wrath,only the thorny cactus 🌵 stands firm in the courtyard
Though What could be more dangerous
then the gentle breeze ,
After the deadly storm
Consoling the broken branches,
Shattered bodies and
withered blosoms.
Now the City
no more wake’s up
with the sparks of glittering sun
As it has felt asleep in the lap of death…”

–Kashmiri poet Hijaj Bin Yousuf

It staggers the mind that India does not allow the internet at speeds that make watching educational videos on coronavirus, home schooling tutorials, musical videos, & films possible. It’s the small-minded, pea-brained, vindictive, fascist character of nationalist bureaucrats. The kind of functionaries we know so well from Nazi Germany.
