Detailing how India is enforcing an apartheid in Indian-occupied Kashmir by vigorously discriminating against the Muslim population in the form of \u201cexplicitly prejudicial new land laws aimed at full-blown settler-colonialism\u201d, the author argues that the Indian state\u2019s violence in Kashmir \u201cdraws upon and abets Islamophobic violence against the Muslims\u201d. Amid a raging pandemic, the academic notes how the \u201csituation in Kashmir is exacerbated by a settler-colonialism aimed at drowning Kashmiris once and for all.\u201d The mass mobilization of India\u2019s military in what is already the world\u2019s highest militarized zone, along with India\u2019s massive changes in law governing the UN-designated disputed region\u2019s land and domicile laws, the author says has exacerbated the socio-economic situation and is tantamount to \u201cfurther advancing the ten stages of genocidal process.\u201d Given that India\u2019s actions are completely illegal because Kashmir is on the UN\u2019s agenda, i.e. any unilateral move is deemed against international law, the author says New Delhi\u2019s plans extend to \u201cescalating the demographic-change, via ethnic-flooding and ethnic-cleansing\u201d where the nomadic Muslim Bakarwal and Gujjars tribal people are \u201cparticularly at risk, and have already faced thousands of such motivated evictions.\u201d The author also points to the dismal state of health infrastructure in the region to battle the pandemic while tens of hundreds of Kashmiris remain in jails, putting their lives at risk due to the raging pandemic in India, the second most hit nation in the world. India holds an annual all-Hindu pilgrimage, which the author says could prove to be a super spreader of the coronavirus. The Hindu-led administration in the Muslim-majority region cancelled this year\u2019s pilgrimage only seven days before its start, probably due to \u201cincreased world attention.\u201d The Kashmir-origin academic recommends that the Indian government be asked to immediately demilitarize Kashmir and to halt demographic changes in Kashmir, and additionally be urged to implement the United Nations Security Council resolutions that give Kashmiris the right to decide their own political future.<\/span><\/p>
