India’s Independence Day on 15 August is being observed as Black Day by Kashmiris across the world. The people of Kashmir want to highlight the cruel and unjust policies of the successive Indian governments, through which Jammu and Kashmir’s state was unjustly occupied by India in October 1947. India has violated the UNSC resolutions on Kashmir by denying the Kashmiris their right to self-determination, HR violations, atrocities and genocide carried out by the Indian security forces on the Kashmiris to crush their struggle to get their right of self-determination. India has “intensified” its “state terrorism” after launching a “military siege” on 5th Aug. Black flags will be hoisted while protest rallies be organized against the widespread killings, custodial disappearances, arbitrary detentions, molestation of women and vandalizing of residential houses by Indian forces in the occupied territory. Since 1990, Indian army has martyred over 100,000 Kashmiris, widowed 22,000 women, orphaned 108,000 children and raped more than 11,000 women. Since 1989, people of Occupied Jammu and Kashmir have launched their peaceful freedom struggle and India has deployed above 700,000 security troops to crush the freedom struggle. Security forces have committed rampant HR violations and genocide in the Kashmir valley with full impunity under the protection of draconian laws like Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) and Public Safety Act (PSA). India has converted a UNSC declared disputed territory between Pakistan and India, into its integral part, which is in total violation of the UNSC resolutions on Kashmir. To crush the Kashmiris’ right to self-determination, their autonomy has been finished, their state has been divided into two Indian union territories in utter violation of the UNSC resolutions and to crush the Kashmiris reaction. Their genocide is being carried out. Even the rights of the minorities in the mainland India are being trampled through use of force depicts the real face of shining India where minorities have no right to live despite Indian constitution allows them to do so.
