But critics of India's Hindu nationalist-led government see the move as an attempt to dilute the demographics of Kashmir with Hindu settlers.
Rebels in Indian-controlled Kashmir have been fighting Indian control since 1989. Most Kashmiris support the rebels' demand that the territory be united either under Pakistani rule or as an independent country, while also participating in civilian street protests against Indian control. About 70,000 people have been killed in the uprising and the ensuing Indian crackdown.
He and other Kashmiri Pandits in the U.S., argue that it will bolster the region's struggling economy and ensure equal rights for Kashmir's religious minorities. "Somebody has to speak for them," said Dar, an organizer with Stand With Kashmir, a diaspora-led organization that is fighting for the right to self-determination for Kashmir.
"That's where the diaspora comes in," said Ather Zia, an assistant professor of gender studies and anthropology at the University of Northern Colorado in Boulder."Because we have a long collective memory, it's a legacy, it's a trauma that's been handed over to us."
NBCNightlyNews Bo rebels but Pakistani terrorists in Kashmir and they are being dealt with as such. Please know before you write.
NBCNightlyNews A foreign leader shouldn’t be having a rally in the US. Especially not one of Trump’s strongmen who used to be banned from the US.
...other NOT in protest:
Kashmir is not thank him how they do that military raping killing no internet so world don’t see the atrocities committed in Kashmir
The people of Kashmir should be concerned, we've seen the devastation of the Yemeni people and the Palestinians because the US supports Saudi & Israeli occupation, and this is no different.
Others are no kashmiri. They are pakistani who protesting for kashmir but not for balochistan.
Paid protesters? There’s only good that can come out of India’s moves in Kashmir. The Islamists want you to think otherwise.
🤢🤮
lol they are hindu americans from UP not kashmiri americans . KAshmiri americans were outside the stadium protesting. Kashmiris have not been able to interact with their family back home as this fascist hindu terrorist is doing war crimes in Indian occupied Kashmir.
It’s fun watching India and Pakistan fight over their pieces of Kashmir. Meanwhile, neither side dares challenge China for their section.
When Democrats go low Trump goes high.
The original inhabitants 'Kashmiri Pandits' and Buddhists are happy and radical Sunni Islamists Jihadis are unhappy.
