Muslims in Kashmir have lost their self-governing autonomy
Tensions in Kashmir are high. Hindu nationalist leaders have stripped Kashmir of its self-governing autonomy. Internet and phone services have been cut off and the local leaders placed under house arrest. Kashmir Muslims fear that the Hindu nationalist government will change the demographics in the Muslim majority region. This has sparked massive protests. Nearly 700,000 Indian soldiers have been deployed in Kashmir to suppress the protesters. Around 70,000 people, mostly civilians, have been killed by armed conflict in the last three decades in India controlled Kashmir. May Allah protect our brothers and sisters in Kashmir.
