Harsh Reality! A Bitter Truth…
Harsh Reality! A Bitter Truth…
‘Go study the history of your Oppressor. Once you know the history of your Oppressor and why he had to oppress you, you will understand what the fault is and what is to be corrected.’

History written in blood will not be very be erased by lies written in ink or sermons delivered from the pulpit.’
It is the time itself that exposes the hypocrite and cowards. Our responsibility is not to get carried away by these guys and not to get bitten again and again by their hypocritical behaviour. The recent announcements by certain so-called separatist individuals are nothing but their real faces that they have tried to hide during the past many years. It doesn’t matter so much what these hypocrites and traitors are up to as it is the Armed Resistance fighters on the ground who are the sole stakeholders who can play the shots. It was already an open secret who was who in these camps. Only a few personalities were sincere and dedicated their lives for this just cause of the Resistance Struggle while a maximum lot was dubious just filling their bellies and appeasing the Oppressor covertly as well as overtly. Earlier they were milking from the Resistance Camp overtly and covertly and now they are milking from Delhi overtly. But these traitors don’t understand the mentality of Delhi as even after some time Delhi itself is going to close its chapter once their desired results are achieved.
Some rumours are also circulating that a prominent figure among the Separatist Camp is going to either launch (Delhi-backed) a new political party or join a certain South-Indian political party after officially launching it in IIOJK. But these guys don’t know that the ‘History written in blood will not be very be erased by lies written in ink or sermons delivered from the pulpit.’

It doesn’t matter so much what these hypocrites and traitors are up to as it is the Armed Resistance fighters on the ground who are the sole stakeholders who can play the shots.
Anyway, this doesn’t matter what these hypocrites do but what matters is that the Armed Resistance faction has not learned much from the past or doesn’t want to understand what is lacking and what is to be improved. It is now more than 35 years that the IIOJK Resistance struggle has been continuing. Delhi which had minimal ground during the early 1990’s has gained a maximum share on its side while the Resistance groups with their obsolete and same policies (if they have any) have lost their ground to a larger extent. The irony is that we don’t learn from the past and we don’t change the tactics of/in Resistance.

Palestine-Israel current situation and the Russia-Ukraine war have changed the whole ground scenario. UN, Human Rights Groups Once considered as a powerful and acceptable body lost their credibility after these two big incidents. It is the might and military strength that dictates the terms. These organisations have turned into spectators playing in the hands of powerful entities. This is what is to be understood but the irony is that our Resistance camps are still begging these useless entities while submitting memorandum after memorandum resulting in nothing but more atrocities on the ground. For more than five decades the well-dressed guys pretending to be representing IIOJK booked tickets to Geneva and other UN-related meetings and submitted some reports and photoshoots there to upload on their social media accounts (to formally legalise their salaries and permanent representation in The name of IIOJK). The Armed Resistance representatives who had to play and have played a pivotal role have no acceptable and result-oriented ways to move forward. Neither on-ground applicable strategy nor any goals to move forward. For more than three decades these Armed Resistance heads have not been able to create any local face who could boldly represent this Armed struggle.
It is time that Resistance Camp should introspect its past and take concrete steps to make IIOJK Resistance Struggle result-oriented and strategically successful. It is we IIOJKians who are at the dragger edge facing stringent consequences from the Occupiers side so it is a step of a do-or-die situation where backtracking is the betrayal of not only to the blood of martyrs but to the whole nation. Some of the steps have to be taken at this stage to streamline and strengthen the struggle at the base level:
- All those so-called separatist persons who have recently pledged their allegiance to the Occupier Indian constitution should be declared traitors,
- Those representing these turncoat traitors at AJK should openly declare distance from them and expose them,
- The new body has to be formulated comprising IIOJKians who are actively participating in the Resistance Struggle,
- A comprehensive road map is to be designed for the next ten years an evaluation is to be carried out every month,
- An active executive body comprising the Armed Resistance faction as well as the Political Resistance faction is to be formulated,
- This executive body has to work on the same page advocating Armed Resistance and Political Resistance simultaneously,
- Those representing the Kashmir Struggle have to be Kashmiri as it is illogical that any non-Kashmiri represent the Kashmir Struggle while Kashmiris sit aside mourning in their body rooms,
- It is IIOJKians who are at direct stake losing everything directly so IIOJKians must come forward and give due representation to show the world what is happening in IIOJK,
- Armed Resistance Groups as well as Political Resistance Groups have to be represented on the ground by active IIOJKians,
- Those guys who have been representing the Kashmir Cause for more than three decades should pave the way for a more active and acceptable cadre on the ground without any bias,
- Armed Resistance groups in collaboration with Political Resistance groups should deploy their representatives all over the world whose work is to defend the Kashmir Cause both Armed as well as political.
- A new face has to be introduced who can address and advocate the Kashmir Cause honestly and diplomatically,
- No ambiguity, no confusion regarding Armed Resistance,
- All cadre representing the Kashmir cause has to be active on the ground having allegiance with the executive body,
- Transparency and accountability.
These are some measures that if taken seriously can generate positive on-the-ground results. We have to shun blame game politics introspect our coming and fix that which has been destroyed and damaged by us. No one is going to pity you for behaving like a coward. What is done is done, shedding tears on that won’t yield anything except humiliation so right time to fix the flaws and make a strong representation on the ground.
It is time that Resistance Camp should introspect its past and take concrete steps to make IIOJK Resistance Struggle result-oriented and strategically successful.

Freedom from Occupier India is the destiny of IIOJK no matter how much time it takes but it can be done once we understand our worth and the worth of this pious resistance struggle. (To be Continue.)
