Kashmir’s propaganda factory Dynamics. A Thread 👇

I have used Excerpts from my upcoming book on #Kashmir for this thread. I will try to keep it simple in 10 pointer thread.

It is very important to understand the ‘Cause’ & ‘Consequence’ wrt to everything in this thread.
1. Glorification of Terrorists & Terror.

Find me a single Kashmiri (except the ones in JK police) who call terrorists as terrorists. They are referred to as ‘Fighters’ & ‘Shaheeds’. The glorification of terror is the reason so many educated boys pick up the guns in valley.
b) Naseema Bano who’s been booked under UAPA is just one example that hit the Indian media. There are various examples of teachers, scholars, new age twitter journos, & parents openly advocating the use of guns against Indian armed forces. In order to understand this in a better
way, please watch the video of innocent kids firing at army convoy with toy guns. It is obvious that the hatred is preached somewhere in the house, the radicalisation of innocents is what this movement is based upon.
There is no justification to this.
2. New Age Kashmiri Journalism.

I don’t blame them, they are all brilliant boys & girls from great schools, I blame Indian media for being lazy & lethargic.
Kashmiri journos make sure they show you the brazen houses which is the consequence of what? ‘Terrorists in the house’
But they silently paint the narrative of army excesses by showing you a burning notebook or a crying baby along with burning house completely ignoring the fact that terrorists were having dinner and hosts were complicit in it. Now who’s job is to show the other side of the story?
Right? Indian journos. But these dumbf**ks sitting in Delhi publish these one sided sobbing stories instead of working on ground. No one talks of injuries & casualties of an army man from Bangal or writes a compelling story of how he was looking at his baby’s picture when shot.
3. Deep State of Social media

Kashmiri Social media runs deeper than what anyone sitting in Delhi thinks. Of course our intel knows it & that’s why the internet blockade. An average kashmiri is at least a part of 5 whatsapp groups from different districts where they share the
pictures of terrorists, names of people who call them out, curating lists, army movements, and other updates regarding Indian agencies. I am leaving you with an example of their thoughts on people who would apply for domicile in Kashmir. The hate is pure & is aided by these fake
journos who maintain political correctness to lure publishing agencies of the left in India for spreading their word. The truth is that these people are also part of groups and share the pictures that aren’t part of mainstream media, these are then used to fabricate sob stories. https://twitter.com/amaanbali/status/1276811859421585409
4. Tag the sane and progressive voices as ‘Collaborators’ & threaten them.

Anyone who is in JK police is a collaborator to them, anyone who’s a kashmiri and has allegiance with india is a collaborator to them and should be killed. Their fancy terror outfit TRF openly threatens
There are numerous examples of people who are referred to as stooges including top cops (you know who he is), and top journalists who aren’t scared to call spade a spade. Any one participating in establishing democratic set up in Kashmir is also a collaborator. Ajay Pandita was
killed just because he was trying to establish democracy. Do you understand the fear psychosis on minorities & anyone who’s allegiance lies with india? It’s unimaginable until you live it.
I have been very vocal about the fate of minorities & non kashmiri labourers in Kashmir
because they are the target groups if they ever speak up. And that’s why they maintain the pin drop silence which is assumed as complicity in their struggle.
Indian media needs to highlight the security of everyone involved in domicile project in Kashmir.
5. The analogy of ‘Indian Freedom Struggle’ is often used in arguments by Kashmiris drawing parallels to their own. In his book ‘Nava-e-Kashmir’, SAS Geelani justifies the use of arms against india because india did it to British too. However he fails to answer that while Indian
Struggle wasn’t religious, why is Kashmir struggle an Islamic struggle.

He ridicules himself in very next para & says that movement is Islamic and Jihad is the only solution to it. When asked would ‘Jihad’ be a solution if India was a Muslim country, he fails to answer meaning
that it is clearly an attempt to misguide the youth of kashmir using their sentiments by misinterpretations of Quran.

SAS further says that militant movement means no harm to India which is the joke that some sections of Indian media buy & call address him as ‘Sahab’.
I leave you to judge this guy who is a verified Kashmiri Journalist. How is this guy not in line with Musharraf’s statement that “all Indian Muslims would uproar against India”. This is just one example, there are tonnes of these journalists celebrated by Delhi for sob stories.
We have already lost the media war in Kashmir. It will amaze you guys to know that they have the radio stations run through YouTube where Kashmiri Diaspora guys like Tony Ashai and others continue to evoke sentiments.
A lot needs to change in terms of what we understand about
Kashmiri and our media needs to wake up.
