India’s Kashmir challenge
Viewing the Jammu and Kashmir elections in its editorial on December 26, Dawn said: “The freedom movement in Indian-occupied Kashmir is now more of a peaceful and popular uprising of the Gandhian hue than an armed insurgency. Hundreds of moderates have joined the cause. This clearly does not suit India. Killing highly-trained militants is one thing, state violence against unarmed protesters on the streets of Kashmir quite another. Given India’s clout in this day and age, it will take some doing to dent its image abroad. But pictures of peaceful protesters being mowed down by Indian soldiers may well internationalise the Kashmir issue with greater rapidity.”
