Why Not KASHMIR?

 

Since the last few years even the progressive and 'secured' countries are prone to terrorist attacks. America, France, Turkey and many others have seen the atrocities of bomb attacks and other terrorist activities. Whenever these big countries become victim of terrorist attacks, foreign media and social media outlets prove to be their firm supporters. There are news of victimized country everywhere, the country's situation is discussed on every channel, the victims are sympathized on every forum. In other words the whole world stands behind them in solidarity.

 

Other than all countries, when France was going through a series of terrorist attacks, the whole world stood in solidarity with it, expressing their feelings and sympathies on various media outlets in different ways. Some people even changed their profile pictures giving an effect of French flag to show their unity with France attack victims.

   

Mr. Mark Zuckerberg was the first one to color his profile picture as French flag
 

Of course such events are not exciting, in fact they cause fear and chaos among the affected. But what about those nations who are invaded or who are occupied by strong armies....?

 

Kashmir is one of the nations fighting for independence from Indian forces since many years. They are martyred, brutally killed and cruelly beaten by violent forces. Unarmed youngsters, innocents children, women, old age people and many others are killed and beaten harshly. 

 Many people raise voice for the  rights of Kashmiris, many rallies are conducted, many slogans are raised and many governments have made attempts and filled their concerns on Kashmir issue before United Nations and United Nations Council for Human Rights, but all they get is a 'Silent NO'. No one among the concerned authorities works for peace in Kashmir, no one stands in solidarity with them, no higher authority asks to give Kashmiri's their rights....WHY IS IT SO?

 

Are they not humans? Do they don't have loving and caring relationships like us? Do they don't have feelings and emotions like you, me and others? or Do they belong to some other planet or are they such a useless creation of God to be killed so brutally? What is the reason behind all this!! Why people don't discuss Indian brutalities in Kashmir as they discuss terrorist attacks in other nations? Why don't Mark Zukerberg asks Facebook users to raise their voices and slogans in favor of Kashmir using his platform? Why don't world media talk about Kashmir as frequently as other political, national and international issues? WHY SO MANY DIFFERENCES?

 

They are the same humans as those living in France, Turkey, America  and so on, they have the same relationships as we have, they have the same will to live a free and peaceful life as you, me and all others have, they have the same feelings and emotion as us, they are as beloved creature of God as we are.

 

So please end these differences and raise your precious voices for the rights of oppressed Kashmiris. The world media should use its freedom of speech to play a catalyst role in  Kashmiris' independence

 

Being a Muslim or a Non Muslim is not a crime but being brutal and unjust to unarmed innocent humans is a big and unjustified crime.
