Indian officials opened Kashmir to tourists today, over two months after the Indian government issued a security advisory telling tourists & pilgrims to leave immediately due to a “terror threat”. Kashmiris are still under curfew, hotels & businesses are closed down, the telecommunications blockade remains in force, & India still claims it’s fighting “radical Islamic terrorism” in Kashmir.
Anyone who goes to a genocide zone for vacation has to have a few screws loose. But the likelihood is that the ‘tourists’ attracted to Kashmir now will be Hindutva land speculators, Indian businesses & corporations looking to cash in on the plunder & economic exploitation, the same kind of unsavory grubbers who flooded into the former Soviet Union after its collapse.
