Muslims in India-controlled Kashmir shout pro-freedom slogans at funeral of 11-year-old boy on Saturday (EPA)
Weeks of violent clashes in India-controlled Kashmir continued on
Saturday, when thousands of angry demonstrators defied a curfew to
attend the funeral of Nasir Shafi Qazi, an 11-year-old schoolboy,
whose body was found riddled with bullets and pellet marks.
Violent clashes in Muslim-majority Kashmir began on July 9, following
the death on July 8 of Burhan Wani, a 22-year-old commander in the
separatist militia Hizbul Mujahideen (HM). There have been 81 deaths
and thousands of injuries. Hundreds of people have been blinded for
life, having been shot by the security forces with "non-lethal" pellet
guns that are often turning out to be lethal.
The Hindu vs Muslim unrest in Kashmir continues to grow, and is
"organic," meaning that it's coming up from the people, rather than
being controlled by country leaders or army generals. What we're
seeing is a repeat of the last two generational crisis wars, which
were also "organic" and extremely bloody: India's 1857 Rebellion and
the 1947 Partition war. The current Hindu vs Muslim unrest continues
to spiral in that direction, and I see nothing that is likely to stop
it. The Hindu and AFP and Al Jazeera

Map of Pakistan, highlighting Kashmir and Balochistan
Appearing before the United Nations Human Rights Council, India and
Pakistan are embarking on vitriolic tit-for-tat accusations.
The Pakistan delegate said "India’s attempts to deny its illegal
occupation of Jammu and Kashmir [is] a travesty of history." Pakistan
said that give the "persistent, irresponsible flouting of
international norms governing inter-state behavior by India, we are
constrained to point out the abysmal human rights record of the Indian
government."
As the Pakistan delegate was attacking India's record in
India-controlled Kashmir, the Indian delegate responded by attacking
Pakistan's record in Pakistan-controlled Kashmir as being
"administered by a 'deep state'", and also in Pakistan's province of
Balochistan:
> [indent]<QUOTE>"In the last two decades, the most wanted terrorists
> of the world have found succor and sustenance in Pakistan. This
> tradition unfortunately continues even today, not surprising when
> its government employs terrorism as an instrument of state
> policy. ...
>
> In fact, Pakistan is a nation that practices terrorism on its own
> people. The sufferings of the people of Balochistan are a telling
> testimony in this regard. Not coincidentally, this region also
> serves as a base to conduct terrorism and violate human rights in
> a neighboring country."<END QUOTE>[/indent]
The Baloch people are Shia Muslims of Iranian descent, and have been
the targets of numerous bloody terrorist attacks by terror groups
linked to the Pakistan Taliban and to al-Qaeda.
Apparently, mentioning Balochistan at the UN Human Rights Council has
violated some kind of unwritten agreement between India and Pakistan,
where they politely ignore many of each other's human rights
violations. So the Pakistan delegate struck back by saying:
> [indent]<QUOTE>"Over one third of Indian territory is under a full
> blown peasant insurgency. There is a despicable human rights
> situation in Manipur, Mizoram, Tripura and Assam, and ethnic
> groups in India's north-east have been battling for rights since
> many decades in the face of terrible repression."<END QUOTE>[/indent]
The epicenter of the vitriolic disagreement between Pakistan and India
continues to be Kashmir, and it's clear that the situation gets worse
every week. As I wrote above, The current unrest between India's
Hindus and Pakistan's Muslims continues to spiral towards war, and I
see nothing that is likely to stop it. Indian Express and First Post and Daily Times (Pakistan) and Telegraph (Calcutta)
