27th October is a Black Day for Kashmiris, whether they are living in occupied Kashmir or in Pakistan, or all over the world, because on 27th October, India occupied our Kashmir and entered their army against the will and wish of the people of Jammu and Kashmir.
So, we all over the world make and observe October 27 as the Black Day. After 2019, when India abrogated Article 35A and 370, the situation in Indian Occupied Kashmir is very critical, and it’s like living in a prison.
The most militarized zone is my Kashmir, and the Indian army’s presence in Kashmir is more than a million in Indian Occupied Kashmir, and they are helped with Black laws.
They have immunity to kill, maim, and destroy anything, and they are not answerable to any court. The agony is that the soldiers and culprits involved in heinous crimes are being awarded and rewarded with medals and prizes, but the wish and will of the people of Kashmir and the people know what they are fighting for. They are fighting for their right of self-determination, and there is only one slogan, and that is the implementation of the resolutions passed in the United Nations, and it is their birthright.
There are 18 resolutions passed by the United Nations, and there are two human rights reports where it is mentioned that Kashmiris are faced with the highest Human Rights violations. Kashmiris want an amicable solution to this tangle, and that is only possible when India sheds its illegal stance. We think the main hurdle is India itself; that is why it’s not solved yet. But we hope that Kashmir will be independent one day.
