Why Has Kashmir Remained Unresolved for 78 Years? | Political Activist Dr. Muzammil Ayyub Thakur

Clash Point host Isaac Eshetu & News Editor Muhammad Huzaifa sit with Dr. Muzammil Ayyub Thakur, Kashmiri political activist and President of the World Kashmir Freedom Movement, to discuss why the Kashmir conflict has remained unresolved for nearly eight decades.

(Comment:  This is a new topic for Sovereignista.com.  Dr Muzammil spends time explaining the India Hindutva intersection with the inability to create a peaceful Kashmir.  We have had discussions and posts on the growth of zionism, but not in terms of India Hindutva. I recognize and you will too, the language of resistance. But, because there is not much known about Kashmir, I don’t know if this is resistance in the true sense. What is very visible is the intersection of Hindutva and Zionism and if accurate, I personally almost criminally misunderstood the concept of Hindutva but this has grown.  We saw Modi visit Israel and the bromance media replete with oh such loving bro hugs between the two. The depth of the relationship was new for most of us. If this topic holds water, then we can count Hindutva, Zionism and Nazism as the same force raging across the world for it own profit, and not for a peaceful world.  (And then, we can add Christian Zionism which is a perversion).  This topic also touches China materially, Pakistan plays a role,  and next week we will see Putin, Modi and Xi Jinping on the same stage at SCO).

From the origins of the dispute in 1947 to India’s changing policies under Hindutva, the situation on the ground today and the wider India-Pakistan confrontation, we examine the history and politics behind one of South Asia’s longest-running conflicts.

After 78 years of conflict, what would it take to finally resolve the Kashmir question?
