Freedom Movement in Kashmir-essay

People in Kashmir wanted freedom from a long time ago. In the year 1590, the people in the Kashmir Valley started a fight against the Ljian forces. Before that, no outside group helped the Kashmir people against India. But the Muslims in Jammu and Kashmir got motivated by the Afghan Mujahideen, who fought against the powerful country Soviet Union. Soviet Union had to leave Afghanistan in 1989 because of the brave Afghan Mujahideen. The people in Occupied Kashmir also fought against India because India took control of Jammu and Kashmir on 26th October, 1947.

After the September 2001 attacks on the World Trade Centre and Pentagon, people paid more attention to solving the Kashmir issue.

In the last 42 years, India did everything to stop the freedom movement in Kashmir. They changed the way people were taught, used media like radio, TV, and newspapers to change the Kashmiri culture, and tried to change their religion.

India also tried to change the population balance in Kashmir by bringing in Hindus. But still, the freedom movement in Kashmir is getting stronger every day.
