People of Jammu and Kashmir are still under siege for 48th consecutive day by Indian military. More than 60,000 Extra troops were deployed in Indian occupied Kashmir in the beginning of August, which was already the most militarized area in the world since decades. After the deployment of these extra troops in the valley, the total number of Indian military troops reaches upto 800,000.
India took these steps to crush the reaction of Kashmiri people after revoking Article 35A and Article 370 of Indian constitution on August 5. These two articles were giving a special status to Jammu and Kashmir. People of Kahsmir are under curfew since August 5, 2019, and all communication with the rest of the world were cut off by Indian Army. Even the international reporters were not allowed to enter the valley. Pakistan accused Indian government for a massive genocide in Kashmir in efforts to change the demographics of the region.
In past few decades more than 95 thousands innocent Kashmiri were killed and thousands of women were rsped by Indian Army. But the ratio of human rights violations is on the peak since the latest steps of Indian government to crush the freedom moment of Kahsmiri people.
