India should address the growing frustration and alienation of Kashmiris rather than taking a military approach to bring down violence, experts say
It's unlikely that the Indian government led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi will even reach out to Kashmiri politicians, leave aside separatists, in a bid to control the spiraling violence in the disputed Himalayan territory, experts say.
In one of the deadliest days for the Indian military in recent years, nine soldiers were killed in a militant attack on October 11. Little-known outfits with names like Resistance Front and People’s Anti Fascist Front have come forward to take responsibility for attacks including those on civilians.
Indian security forces have claimed killing more than a dozen militants this month in armed clashes including six on Tuesday. The Armed Forces Special Powers Act gives security forces wide powers to arrest, kill and destroy property in counter insurgency operations, according to the Human Rights Watch.that militants have been able to inflict damage on the army as they use a new strategy of attacking in pairs of two in densely forested regions like the Rajouri sector.
What drove Kashmiri youth to the edge is an endless military intervention in their personal lives which grew manifold in the last two years, he saidTensions increased in Indian administered Kashmir since August 2019 when New Delhi stripped the region of its nominal autonomy.
