Is Kashmir An Industry?

Is Kashmir An Industry?

By Dr Maqsood Jafri

Khawaja Faroque Ahmed, the former Minister of Azad Kashmir has posted the video of some Indian, who is saying:

“So many people around are very wise. Why don’t they resolve Kashmir issue? Kashmir is not the name of a territory; it is a big industry and people are getting advantage to keep Kashmir issue alive and do not want to solve this dispute.”

This statement of an Indian vicariously depicts his mindset that both, India and Pakistan are interested to linger on the matter and do not want to solve this dispute for some gains. Simply, I would like to say that this statement is quite contrary from Pakistan’s perspective. What is the benefit of Pakistan to keep this dispute alive or unresolved?

Pakistan wants that the Kashmiris should be granted the right to Self-determination and free and transparent plebiscite be held according to UN resolutions. India is a hurdle in this way for her malicious designs. India has constantly hindered the process of peaceful negotiations. India knows that the Kashmiris want to join Pakistan, hence she avoids plebiscite and averts from the right track. India is an aggressor.

The book of Khan Zaman Mirza titled “Who is Aggressor in Kashmir”, is a worth reading book on this issue. He was Director General of Kashmir Study Centre, Muzaffarabad, Azad Kashmir. He had kindly presented this book to me and I have quoted some paragraphs from this book in my two books on Kashmir.

India is the violator of UN Resolutions. The Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi got the articles 370 and 35/A abrogated from Indian constitution which grant special status to Kashmir. This annulment is a shear violation of Indian Constitution and UN Resolutions as well.

The visionless fascist PM of India attacked Pakistan on May 7, 2025, while violating International Law. The brave Pakistan Air Force reacted and taught India a lesson which even its lineage will remember. Kashmir may be an industry for India but it is not an industry for Pakistan. Pakistan had to face three imposed wars by India in 1947, 1965 and 1971.

Kashmir is the life line and integral part of Pakistan. We will fight till the last breath to get Kashmir free from the tenacious grip of India. Pakistan and Kashmir are inseparable. India is adamant and determined to destroy Pakistan. But our dauntless, efficient, committed, capable, patriotic and faithful armed forces are always vigorous and vigilant and in recent attack of India on Pakistan have thwarted Indian aggression, teaching them unforgettable lessons.

My two books titled “The Plight of Kashmir”, and “Kashmir: Under Siege” published by National Book Foundation Islamabad, throw ample light on the Issue of Kashmir. Better the Indian sloganeer, who is nefariously involving Pakistan in the rut and is insinuating us to be the beneficiaries in the industry of Kashmir, should know that we have given blood to the saplings of Kashmir. We are not beneficiaries; we are the victims of Indian aggression.
