@Zahra21461848 I think it was necessary not to blur your picture and name so that the world could know who actually is behind such enlightening opinions :) #NameandShame ✌️
India's Kashmir debacle is a direct result of Feb 26 Indian failures and Feb 27 Pakistani successes. Upheaval in IAF and IA forced Modi government to take a hard line to try to pacify angry soldiers and airmen. Re: March 1st tweet
Its only a matter of time when every Muslim in India will need to rise against the tyranny of the Facist Modi/RSS Hindutva ideology. PAKISTAN will keep fighting these fascists insha Allah.

Epilogue: yesterday I posted some personal observations from a trip to Srinagar. The angry responses from alumni of Watsapp university all come down to two types- (1) “what you say is not true”; (2) “so what, they deserve it” anyway”
Finally-absolutely critical Indians open their minds to what is going on & challenge disinformation & bigoted triumphalism. Switch off your TV, read a book & maybe go visit Kashmir & see what govt is doing in your name. People are as ever, exceptionally warm and hospitable.
Let me add - locking up leadership hasn't stopped the bandh. The present shutdown in Kashmir is voluntarily observed, and total - not called by any party or leader (entire political leadership is anyway in custody, incommunicado). That's quite significant in itself.
(3) Politically Transformative: There's absolute fury & anger everywhere, & it's not going away. This amounts to collective punishment, humiliation and imprisonment and that's the way it's seen. It is definitely a historic tipping point but not in the direction Amit Shah wants.
(2) Saturated Military Presence: I've visited many violence affected areas - but this is the most claustrophobic security force presence I've ever seen in a large urban area. It's absolutely maddeningly oppressive. Soldiers, paramilitaries and police are literally everywhere.
(1) Total Shutdown: 3 weeks in, complete nonsense to suggest life is normal or that Kashmiris accept any of it. Valley remains in total paralysis; no shops, no internet, no schools, no phones. Nothing is open, nothing to do, nowhere to go. Large parts of Srinagar totally empty.
I've just returned from Kashmir & three things to note, particularly for those outside fed on stories of normalcy by embedded journalists. [Even if you support Modi, and think this might work, surely you'd want to know what's really going on].
