r/Kashmiri

Hello everyone

I'm Colombian and I recently found this subreddit. I was surprised to find answers to the questions I had when I learned about the Kashmir conflict, especially regarding the independence of the Kashmir nation from belonging to India or Pakistan.

Even so, I have some specific questions that I think would be better to ask you directly.

Is there a significant Kashmiri diaspora? If so, do they identify as Kashmiri or according to their passports (Indian or Pakistani)?

Is Kashmir a Muslim-majority country? If so, what kind of relationship do they feel they have with other Muslim nations, especially Pakistan?

Do you know any Christians? In general, what is your opinion of Christianity, specifically Catholicism?

Do you know anything about Latin America or Colombia in particular?

Mohammad Jahangir Malik said he was picked up along with several others from the Khull village in Kulgam and forced to enter a dark cave with nothing more than a phone and a torch in hand by army men who were combing the area for militants.

( I mean how coward can a human being be , imagine sending an unarmed , innocent man into a wild cave)

Today in 1990 more than 60 people were murdered by the Indian police.

Hello guys in the middle of the night again. I recently went through a few debates and arguments on this sub and honestly I don’t want outsiders turning this post into another pointless fight. Tikyazi phak vuchnas chum ne vekenas shok keh. What I really want is a genuine conversation among kashmiris that's why the whole post is in kashmiri (well not whole but most of it). If you’re a kashmiri but can’t read kashmiri, don’t worry I’ll add a short translation at the end. For now, here’s what I want to say.

As I said mai vuch recently arguements akh ze yath manz saen bai aes N word use karaan hehermulkeken lukan khilaaf yus even though arguement as manz cool wagaira che basaan magar it's not. N word che akh zulm karnuk tareek, akh discrimination, akh racial slur yus kashiryo khot asal kus haeki samjith. Aes peth te che aamut zulm karne ethai paeth che aamut blacks an peth te zulm karne te N word che tim zulmech nishaeni. Ye word aes use karan black slaves an dehumanise karne khaetre. Even though the word doesn't have any problematic meaning. Emeuk matlab che black (the color) magar the history attached to it is what makes the word problematic. Ye che black lukan objectify karne khaetre banyomut. Em word saeth che iwan violence, colorism, racism bei lynching justify karne yum saeri cheez che gunah and can never be justified. Even though it might seem like ye oos history manz racism khaetre use gaxaan aaz kis zamanas manz kya masle che ye use karnas. Magar ye gayi texe katha ki aes banavo paninen past atrocities an mazak since they're a part of history magar um che keh cheez aasan yum ne akh insaan zah che haekaan mushraevith. Emyik zakham che hamesh rozaan moujood. I request all of you to please refrain from using the n word. It’s not cool or harmless. As kashmiris, we constantly speak up against violence, oppression and discrimination so it’s hypocritical for us to casually use a slur that carries so much pain and history for another community. We know what it feels like when people dehumanize others or reduce their suffering to jokes. That’s exactly why we should be more aware of the language we use. Respect should not stop at our own boundaries.

TLDR: Don’t use the n word. It’s not just a word or internet slang. It carries a long and painful history of racism, violence and dehumanization. Using it casually can never be justified.

Hey guys, I am from Himachal and recently I made some Kashmiri friends and I got to know about their opinion on India, on whatever happened throughout the history.

And I also visited this sub, and I found out a lot about how Kashmiri's were treated (I saw those posts about Kashmir women being raped by army officers.) My friends also told me about Army misbehaving with the folks of Kashmir and everybody treating Kashmiri Muslims as terrorists.

So let me clear one thing, in no way I am forcing people of Kashmir to accept India as their nation, I am just curious, what were the things that made people of Kashmir revolt like this?

I want to know what were the reasons that Kashmiri people started hating India so much. As far as I know the army is there to protect the people of Kashmir, the land of Kashmir from Pakistan and China, right?
But what is the reality there ? And is it true that still Kashmiri Muslims are treated badly by the army, like in 2026 too?

And what are your opinions on the article 370 also which party do you guys support?

Also, is it true that you want to merge with Pakistan?

One thing that I can agree with, is there is a lot of hate towards your community, because of this whole islam fatigue in the world ( I am an atheist), although India is a secular country but the people in power still push religious narratives which are more inclined towards one religion.

do kashmiri muslims consider themselves different then the other muslims living outside kashmir?

and do you guys think kashmir also belonged to kashmiri hindus?

do you guys want a nation where your community gets its recognition and is respected under the idea of a secular nation and like other states u get the freedom from intense military?

or do u just want to be the part of a islamist state like pakistan?

also what do u guys have to say about the Pahalgam attack?

I deeply understand your love for your kashmir as being a Himachali I have that for my state too, I will also never let people from outside himachal decide the fate of Himachalis while locals suffer.

BE KIND🥹 I JUST NEED CLARITY
