What are Kashmiris wearing in Kashmir?

#india #kashmir #fashion
We are back with our street interview series from India! If you’re new here, our main project is to travel to different parts of the world and ask people what they are wearing as a way to transition into deeper questions on social and political issues that affect their day to day lives. We see how fashion piques an inherent curiosity within people about other people. Our goal is for people to recognize the struggles other people face from a place of connection, because as humans, we naturally invest in who or what we care about.
Kashmir holds a special place in our hearts and the parallels between what is going on in Gaza and the story of Kashmir are plain to see. For us, Kashmir solidified our core belief that the world's problems are not dissimilar from each other. Every "conflict" clearly indicates a stark imbalance in power. And the messy truth is that none of us are immune from the fallout. Today, it is more common to intellectualize and disassociate from the challenging truths, especially when it has to do with human suffering we do not feel personally connected to.
In Kashmir, it was important to document the experiences of the Kashmiris residing in the main city and their tribal populations that live in the mountains and meadow. We can see how India's policy change towards Kashmir affects both populations. On one hand, it is changing the landscape of the Kashmir they have always lived in and the other, Kashmiris are not being consulted and their voices are being actively suppressed to reach a larger goal. It's important to know that Indian people are mostly unaware of what is happening with Kashmiris, or what role their government is playing in subduing (or manipulating) the media coverage of it. Ever since the government ruled to repeal the constitutional articles that preserved some of Kashmir's autonomy, Kashmiris have seen a gradual change in the land they call home and they don't feel they have any say in it. Please watch the full video with that in mind. I urge all of you learn more about what is happening in Kashmir, because the information is limited and did require us to go to the source to truly see what is happening. What does it look like to you?

first, This Bengali lady from UK doing propaganda on Traveling Visa without knowing any iota of information on Kashmir and equating Kashmir with Palestine, so i will urge GOI to blacklist her visa entry. Second, Article 370 and 35A both provision were temporary at the time of accesion of Kashmir to uplift the community of the region but that temporary stayed more than 70 years. These provision only used by three political family in kashmir to do corruption and maintain power with immunity from any accountibility from union govt. for example, you may find interesting to know that there is a bill passed by union govt in early 2000 on Right to education which means free education(later free meals) for all students of citizens of India but it was unable to implement in Kashmir due to Article 370, Girl child education is must for all the state in India and various other scheme which were not implemented before. you should also know a labourer and low level worker from minority community were not allowed to be in govt jobs before, if a kshmiri lady marry a outsider then her ooffspring will lose claim of her asset in the valley. now, talking about 35A, its provision which barred govt devlopment project in the valley and its not setlement issue, if emar want to invest billion for a factory or mall then there was a burocratic redtape with corruption from the local govt but now its became a single window clearence, also that doesnt mean anyone can come and settled there. there's a specific section in constittuion of india which protect ST rights of that region(cant buy land or transfer ownership to outsider), you can see it in NE state of india and lakshwadeep UT. any Kashmiri can travel to any part of india and get education and do jobs just like any other citizen of india. infact India's highest level civil service exam UPSC(toughest in the world) one topper was from Kashmir and by passing that you join administrator service as a bureaucratic officar. just taking 5,6 people interview and that also some leftist you think you understand kashmir. even the guy in 8:45 spoke truth. its funny you were talking about indegineius people, and you missed to talk about the actual indeginious people of the valley- the Kashmiri pandit. around half million people were thrown out of their ancestoral home forcefully after the genocide just because they were non-muslim. FYI Kashmir predates Islam, even the temple there predates Islam, its names cames from Rishi Kashyap. first you should visit bangladesh tribal area of Chakma and how opressed they are by islamist extremist. second if you have guys then do visit Baltistan in POK and Balochistan province in pakistan

I don't know why these Pseudo Liberal lovee Extremism Radical religion like islam. They just propagate Propaganda anyway possible and defend the Backwardness of Quran. Quran don't mention democracy Quran even don't want to give right to live to Minority (kaffir). The Kaffir is the real word for minority and persicution.
