This marked the start of a prolonged and turbulent period in the region, one that has spanned more than seven decades. In the years that followed, the Kashmiri people have borne the brunt of this military occupation,\u201d the article stated.<\/p>\n<p>The piece added that the Indian government has consistently used religious aggression to suppress the voices of the Kashmiri people. The 2019 curfew and ban on gatherings were imposed to crush protests against the revocation of Article 370, which granted special status to Jammu and Kashmir.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis aggression not only exacted a heavy toll in human suffering but also led to the desecration of historic Muslim sites \u2014 a gross violation of cultural and religious rights,\u201d the article observed.<\/p>\n<p>The article said every aspect of life for Muslims in the occupied territory is under assault by the RSS-backed Modi regime, which is bent on erasing every symbol of Muslim identity in the region. It pointed out that the Modi regime\u2019s illegal actions of August 05, 2019, opened a more brutal chapter in Kashmir\u2019s tortured history. India is enforcing a process of political, constitutional, cultural disempowerment in IIOJK, taking a series of administrative, demographic, and electoral measures to further marginalize the Kashmiri people.<\/p>\n<p>The article said every Indian action is aimed at eroding the culture, language, and religious identity of Muslims in IIOJK, adding that New Delhi\u2019s actions mirror Israeli settler policies in occupied Palestine. They said extrajudicial killings, arrests, and torture by Indian army, police, and paramilitary personnel continue unabated in the occupied territory. The piece deplored that Narendra Modi seeks to impose the Hindutva ideology in IIOJK, but his government\u2019s brutal policies are only strengthening the resolve of Kashmiri Muslims to resist India\u2019s illegal occupation of their homeland. It maintained that all of the Modi regime\u2019s tactics and schemes are destined to fail in the occupied territory.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Srinagar: October 27, 1947, marks the beginning of the long-standing conflict over Jammu and Kashmir and the immense suffering endured by its people under Indian occupation, said a fresh article released on the eve of the day.
