The fact that Chechnya, Bosnia, Sudan, Somalia, Uganda, DRC, CAR, Mozambique, Angola, Rwanda among other nations have experienced vast human rights abuses, it is noteworthy that they’ve also endeavoured to seek relative estimations of political stabilisation and settlement, the occupied territory of Southern Kashmir, like Myanmar, has however been unresolved simmering due to Indian obstination. Polarised and facing an abyss of time, Kashmir in the Asian Subcontinent is under iron-fisted repression and anarchy. Also with ethnic Muslim rivalry between political factions like the PDP and NC who accrue misspent loyalty against the rock-hard joint resistance pact, their political alliance is vague and neither for or against the alien BJP – a far-right party that aims to erode and disunite Muslim democratic and revolutionary solidarity or in African spirit ‘resistance, rebellion and revolt’ from successfully counteracting malignant traits of Indian despotic encroachment. Although the irrepressible idea is to disentangle from subjection and break free of shackles, a dislodged and confined government also confines the insurgency and weakens Pakistan’s hand at helping to achieve our sought after liberation. The United Nations have a necessary, pivotal and defining role to play, Pakistan has been working positively with the EU, the OIC and the UK, however the United Nations have arguably been indifferent and unconcerned to make impressionable concessions.
Speaking from experience the dynamic process of leadership and diplomacy that created Pakistan spoke volumes about fostering synergy from viable sources to amass authority and take power. With Muslim unity indispensable Kashmir needs to do likewise.
The UN system with all its agencies and organs, its integrity and clout, have been deviously disenfranchised and rebuffed by a delinquent Government of India. The consequences of this is that the men, women and children of Southern Kashmir have scarce access to UNIFEM and UNICEF, the UNESCO and UNDP, OHCHR and ILO etc etc and are helplessly rendered barren. Political stabilisation and scope for inclusive political settlement are ours to encourage from the origin or source, therefore the onus, stimuli and impetus for independence and autonomy rest squarely with the majority Muslim politicians of Southern Kashmir.
The downside is that they are themselves in variance and feel curbed, confined and alienated from the North and Pakistan, therefore they feel unable to wield the power and transparency needed to confer and choreograph salient demands for freedom with the United Nations, who are poised against the odds to intervene and eliminate prejudices and barriers to legality, democracy, engagement and acquisition. Speaking from experience the dynamic process of leadership and diplomacy that created Pakistan spoke volumes about fostering synergy from viable sources to amass authority and take power. With Muslim unity indispensable Kashmir needs to do likewise. Human rights activism will win the moral imperative, we need also to configure this with intercontinental diplomatic ascendancy, Pakistan and the United Kingdom must implore the case for a ‘United Nations Commission on Kashmir’ to help us help Kashmir free itself from the restrictive imperialist confines of slavery.
