Freeing Palestine is India's fight
I've seen lots of posts about how Western countries and their populations should be concerned for stopping the genocide in Palestine but Indians are involved in this as well.
India has a HUGE Islamophobia problem, from the day India became what it is, this country exists the way it does through conflict regarding religious majorities and it is a problem we must acknowledge.
Collective punishment has often been carried out indiscriminately against Muslims in India- Muslim people's houses in Madhya Pradesh have been demolished without warning. This has also happened in Uttar Pradesh and in 2023, Haryana(300 businesses and homes). These were all normal innocent civilians who had proper legal paperwork showing their purchase and ownership of their home and land, but the police did not care. In many of these instances the police stood by and were involved in demolition and all of these were under BJP-majority and ruled areas. The recent Ram Mandir was built on the demolished land of Babri Masjid(it was built in the 14th century before India as it was even a THING, its destruction & demolition on the claim that it was Ram's birth place is unfair). Hate crimes against Muslims run amok and there are multiple cases of violence against Muslims in India.
PM Modi of the BJP party has been consistent in maintaining positive relations with Benjamin Netanyahu and the occupying force of Israel. A majority of the military equipment for India comes from Israel, and India has constantly been neutral in UN council meetings when decisions regarding Israel are brought up. A spyware called Pegasus, developed by the occupying force of Israel was used to surveil politicians, journalists, activists etc severely breaching right to privacy and threatening freedom of speech.
Worse; India has been using the Israeli strategy of colonizing Palestine with Kashmir. Jammu & Kashmir is a union territory which basically means they are allowed to function independently on most fronts but India has been seeking to integrate J&K into itself and has been extremely hostile to its Muslim citizens and are currently intensifying their occupation efforts. There have been consistent internet and communication blackouts since 2018 and it is STILL ongoing.
India invited Israeli officials to Kashmir to open 'Centers of Excellence' which are supposedly for agricultural innovation but everyone in J&K are concerned and see it as India taking an opportunity to intensify its occupation with Israeli help.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, several Kashmiris told Middle East Eye the Israeli agriculture hubs would deepen India's occupation in the region and accelerate its settler-colonial project. "Earlier, we would draw the parallels between Kashmir and Palestine or India's intimate alliance with Israel. But now they are bringing Israel to the Valley in the form of these institutions - which will be "agro-oriented" in name - but we all know that Israel will physically help India in Kashmir to turn it into a proper Palestine," a Kashmiri academic based in Istanbul told Middle East Eye.
In 2016 Coalition of Civil Society said there are more than 8000 'disappearances' of people in J&K. There are mass graves with over 2000 bodies being found with these unlawful activities being attributed to the Indian Security Forces. That's just scratching the surface of decades of violence and human rights violations enacted by India.
BJP is not shy about its ties to the RSS and promotes Hindutva(I've seen people citing the literal meaning of the word as evidence that it is harmless but the word is a label given to an embraced by extreme right-wing groups who are open about their Islamaphobia. Meaning of the word becomes pointless when actions speak otherwise).
India is an occupying force on J&K, it's suppressing Muslims, demonizing them and further marginalizing them in the name of 'Hinduism'. It buys from Israel and endorses them. As Indians, it is key that we do whatever we can to stop the genocide because we are unwittingly being used to fuel this and are being radicalized to hate on our neighbors, the people we share our land and history with.
Even outside of the ways in which the current government is shamelessly supporting Israel, India's history is rife with colonization. The British had occupied us, forced us into fighting each other, into prioritizing meaningless differences to suppress each other. We were once starved by occupying forces, violated, killed. Our land is also covered in blood shed by colonization.
What are we doing if we don't speak up? If we don't stop this? Do not follow the propaganda conflating extreme right-wing ideologies with the identity of being Indian. Don't buy into the idea that India is "for Hindus", we are so ridiculously diverse, there are 100s of languages and religions in this country.
Free Jammu & Kashmir, free Palestine, stop Islamophobia.

National Institute of Fashion Technology - [NIFT], Srinagar
National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT), Srinagar – Overview (800 Words)
The National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT), Srinagar is one of the newer additions to the prestigious NIFT network, established in 2016. Located in the heart of Kashmir, in the Budgam district, NIFT Srinagar has rapidly grown into a key center for fashion education in northern India. It combines the legacy of India’s textile heritage with modern design education, fostering a space where innovation meets tradition.
Academic Programs
NIFT Srinagar offers undergraduate and postgraduate programs in fashion and design disciplines:
Bachelor of Design (B.Des) with specializations in:
Fashion Design
Fashion Communication
Textile Design
Fashion and Lifestyle Accessories Design
Master of Fashion Management (MFM)
The curriculum is designed to blend theoretical knowledge with hands-on experience, encouraging creative thinking, technical proficiency, and business understanding. Students are exposed to a variety of workshops, studio practices, and real-world projects that prepare them for dynamic roles in the fashion industry.
Campus and Infrastructure
The NIFT Srinagar campus, spread across 16.5 acres in Ompora, Budgam, is equipped with state-of-the-art infrastructure. The academic block includes well-lit, modern classrooms and specialized studios for pattern making, garment construction, dyeing and printing, weaving, and more. The resource center includes an extensive library, digital learning spaces, and access to design materials from around the world.
A design studio fosters creative development, while labs such as the knitwear and textile labs provide space for experimentation. The campus is fully Wi-Fi enabled and has advanced IT infrastructure to support learning.
There are also facilities for extracurricular engagement, including an auditorium, an amphitheater, sports grounds, basketball and badminton courts, a gymnasium, and a popular campus cafeteria known for its diverse menu. Hostel accommodations are available separately for boys and girls, each with common rooms and recreational spaces.
Tumblr media
Admissions and Scholarships
Admission to NIFT Srinagar is based on the national-level NIFT entrance exam, which includes:
Creative Ability Test (CAT)
General Ability Test (GAT)
Situation Test (for B.Des)
Group Discussion and Personal Interview (for MFM)
The selection process is rigorous, ensuring that students with both creativity and critical thinking ability are chosen. Educational loans are available through nationalized banks, and special schemes are in place to support students from economically weaker sections, Scheduled Castes/Scheduled Tribes, and female applicants.
Placements and Industry Connections
NIFT Srinagar, despite being a newer campus, has built a respectable placement record. Its graduates have gone on to work in major design houses, export companies, retail brands, and government initiatives. Internships are a key part of the curriculum, giving students exposure to real-world industry practices.
The institute regularly organizes seminars, industry interactions, and portfolio reviews. This helps students connect with professionals and understand the practical demands of the fashion business. The Fashion Spectrum, its annual fest, also attracts attention from fashion brands and professionals across India.
Regional Integration and Cultural Focus
One of the most unique aspects of NIFT Srinagar is its strong connection to local craft traditions. The institute actively collaborates with local artisans, weavers, and the Jammu & Kashmir government to revive and modernize traditional Kashmiri crafts such as Pashmina weaving, Kani shawls, Sozni embroidery, and crewel work.
Students often participate in community-based projects that integrate these crafts into contemporary design frameworks. This exposure enhances their appreciation for indigenous techniques and gives them a chance to contribute to the preservation of cultural heritage.
This cultural immersion helps students develop a design language that is unique and reflective of their environment, something not commonly found in campuses located in urban metros.
Campus Life and Student Engagement
NIFT Srinagar provides a student-friendly atmosphere with a strong focus on innovation, teamwork, and personal growth. Students are encouraged to join clubs and societies related to fashion, arts, technology, and entrepreneurship. Regular events, competitions, exhibitions, and workshops keep the campus vibrant and intellectually stimulating.
The serene environment of the Kashmir valley adds a unique dimension to campus life. The natural surroundings, coupled with the culturally rich environment, inspire creativity and introspection among students.
Challenges and Growth
While NIFT Srinagar offers a promising education environment, being a relatively new campus does come with some challenges. Initially, infrastructure development and faculty recruitment posed concerns, but the institute has made significant strides in recent years. With continuous investment in facilities and staff, it is steadily aligning with the standards of older NIFT campuses.
Moreover, its strategic focus on traditional crafts and sustainable fashion has helped it carve a niche, attracting students passionate about heritage-based design.
Conclusion
NIFT Srinagar stands at the intersection of tradition and innovation. It offers a unique academic and cultural experience to students aspiring to make their mark in fashion and design. With modern infrastructure, strong academic programs, industry exposure, and a focus on local craftsmanship, it is poised to become a leading institution in the years ahead. For students looking to combine fashion education with cultural depth, NIFT Srinagar provides an inspiring and fulfilling environment.

The India Pakistan War Situation: Current Tensions, Historical Roots, and Future Risks
Tumblr media
The India Pakistan War Situation has escalated dramatically in recent weeks, marking one of the most volatile periods in the region since the 1971 conflict. Triggered by a deadly terrorist attack in Indian-administered Kashmir and subsequent military responses, the situation has drawn global attention and concern. This article delves into the current tensions, historical context, and potential future risks associated with the ongoing conflict.
Historical Context of the India-Pakistan Conflict
The roots of the India Pakistan War Situation trace back to the partition of British India in 1947, which led to the creation of two separate nations: India and Pakistan. Since then, the two countries have engaged in multiple wars and skirmishes, primarily over the disputed region of Kashmir.
Major Conflicts
1947-1948: The first war over Kashmir resulted in the establishment of the Line of Control (LoC).
1965: The second war, again over Kashmir, ended in a stalemate.
1971: The third war led to the creation of Bangladesh.
1999: The Kargil conflict saw Pakistani soldiers and militants infiltrate Indian positions.
These conflicts have left deep scars and a legacy of mistrust, contributing to the current India Pakistan War Situation.
Recent Escalations: The Pahalgam Attack and Operation Sindoor
On April 22, 2025, a terrorist attack in Pahalgam, Jammu and Kashmir, resulted in the deaths of 26 civilians, including 25 Hindu tourists. The Resistance Front (TRF), believed to be linked to Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility. India accused Pakistan of supporting the militants, a charge Pakistan denies. In response, India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, targeting alleged terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan-administered Kashmir and Punjab. Pakistan reported civilian casualties and vowed retaliation.
Diplomatic Fallout and Military Responses
The India Pakistan War Situation has led to significant diplomatic and military actions:
Diplomatic Measures:
India expelled Pakistani diplomats and suspended visa services.
Pakistan responded by closing its airspace to Indian aircraft and suspending the Shimla Agreement.
Military Responses:
Pakistan claimed to have shot down five Indian fighter jets.
Both countries have engaged in artillery exchanges along the LoC, resulting in civilian and military casualties.
These developments underscore the severity of the India Pakistan War Situation.
Civil Defense Measures: Operation Abhyaas
In anticipation of further escalation, India conducted Operation Abhyaas, a nationwide civil defense mock drill on May 7, 2025. The exercise involved
Air-raid siren tests.
Blackout simulations.
Evacuation drills.
Public training sessions
This was the most extensive civil defense exercise since the 1971 war, reflecting the gravity of the current India Pakistan War Situation.
Indus Waters Treaty Suspension
A significant development in the India Pakistan War Situation is India's suspension of the Indus Waters Treaty on April 23, 2025. The treaty, signed in 1960, governed the distribution of water from the Indus River and its tributaries. India's suspension and subsequent reduction of water flow through the Chenab River have led to a 90% drop in water supply to Pakistan, exacerbating tensions.
International Reactions and Concerns
The international community has expressed deep concern over the escalating India Pakistan War Situation:
United States: Urged both nations to exercise restraint and offered to mediate.
China and Russia: Called for peaceful resolution and emphasized the importance of regional stability.
United Nations: Expressed alarm over potential nuclear escalation and urged dialogue.
Given both countries possess nuclear weapons, the risk of a catastrophic conflict looms large.
Media Coverage and Public Perception
The India Pakistan War Situation has dominated news outlets and social media platforms:
News Reports:
Extensive coverage of military operations and diplomatic developments.
Analysis of historical context and potential outcomes.
Social Media:
Hashtags like #IndiaPakistanWar and #OperationSindoor trending on Twitter.
Public debates and discussions reflecting diverse opinions.
This widespread coverage has heightened public awareness and concern regarding the India Pakistan War Situation.
Future Risks and the Path Forward
The India Pakistan War Situation presents several risks:
Nuclear Escalation: Both nations possess nuclear arsenals, and any miscalculation could lead to catastrophic consequences.
Economic Impact: Continued conflict could disrupt trade and economic stability in the region.
Humanitarian Crisis: Escalation may lead to displacement and loss of life among civilian populations.
To mitigate these risks, it is imperative for both countries to engage in dialogue, possibly with international mediation, to de-escalate tensions and find a peaceful resolution.
Conclusion
The India Pakistan War Situation is a complex and multifaceted conflict rooted in historical grievances and exacerbated by recent events. The current tensions underscore the urgent need for diplomatic engagement and conflict resolution mechanisms to prevent further escalation and ensure regional stability.

As the northern Indian region of Jammu and Kashmir heads to the polls for its first regional-level elections in nearly a decade, voters and candidates alike are still feeling the political hangover from Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s 2019 decision to revoke the region’s special autonomous status.
In August 2019, the Indian government scrapped Article 370 of the Indian Constitution, reducing the former state of Jammu and Kashmir to two union territories—Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh—and bringing them under the direct control of New Delhi. The decision, a watershed in the region’s troubled history, sparked outrage. It also marked a shift in how India intended to govern Kashmir, which remains disputed territory with Pakistan.
Even as Jammu and Kashmir gears up to announce the winner of its legislative elections on Oct. 8, the local government will wield limited powers, constrained by a series of laws passed since 2019 that have reinforced the central government’s control over the region. Though the newly formed Jammu and Kashmir Legislative Assembly will have power to make some laws, the region will be headed still by a New Delhi-appointed governor, who wields substantial authority over public order, police, bureaucracy, anti-corruption measures, and financial matters.
The region, particularly the Kashmir Valley, has witnessed decades of violence since the 1988 insurgency that drew India and Pakistan into three wars. Since it came to power in 2014, Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has asserted that its policies have brought development and democracy to Kashmir. However, people in the region have generally expressed anger over Modi’s revocation of Article 370, which consolidated power in the hands of nonlocals.
Meanwhile, other regional parties in Kashmir—including separatist groups such as Jamaat-e-Islami Kashmir (JeI), Tehreek-e-Hurriyat, and the Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front—have been banned or marginalized and many of their leaders imprisoned. The remaining dissidents in Kashmir have either changed their stance or stayed quiet out of fear of repression. Kashmiris are thus using this election season as an outlet for expressing frustration and anger by supporting local political parties or non-BJP candidates.
To New Delhi, the elections represent a chance to signal that Kashmir has moved on from its long-standing demands for azadi, or freedom, and has instead flourished in the post-2019 environment. However, many separatist groups or individuals who previously boycotted elections, including some backed by the banned JeI, are now participating. Meanwhile, mainstream Kashmiri politicians are positioning themselves as the last line of defense against what they perceive as the BJP’s attempts to reshape the region’s political dynamics, urging voters to reject Modi’s narrative and promising to restore Kashmir’s autonomy.
Kashmir kick-started its phased elections on Sept. 18, with the second round of voting taking place on Sept. 25. The third and final round of voting will take place on Oct. 1, before results are announced a week later.
There are a total of 90 seats up for grabs, but with more than 300 independent candidates out of 873 in the race, it has become one of the most unpredictable elections in Kashmir’s history. The BJP has set a goal of winning at least 30-35 of 43 seats in Jammu, while it is contesting 19 of the 47 seats in the Kashmir Valley, a Muslim-majority region where it has traditionally struggled to gain traction.
Sheikh Abdul Rashid, popularly known as Engineer Rashid, has emerged as another key figure. Rashid represents the Awami Ittehad Party (AIP) and is a two-time lawmaker from northern Kashmir who contested and won a seat in India’s parliament in June, defeating prominent figures such as former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah of the National Conference party and Sajad Lone, the leader of the People’s Conference party.
Rashid’s victory by a margin of more than 200,000 votes marked a shift in the region’s politics—signaling anger toward the politicians who had failed to safeguard Kashmir’s autonomy or bring about meaningful changes in their decades of rule. In the last year, Rashid’s AIP has gained traction and positioned itself as a formidable player in the regional elections. While campaigning on behalf of AIP candidates, Rashid has vehemently targeted Abdullah’s and Lone’s parties, accusing them of ganging up against him.
Rashid, who was arrested in 2019 on terrorism funding charges under India’s draconian Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, was recently released on interim bail. At a campaign rally in Baramulla, a town in northern Kashmir, on Sept. 13, he spoke to an energized crowd.
“[Modi’s] naya [new] Kashmir was [meant] to kill, arrest, harass, and humiliate people,” he told the gathering. “Kashmiris don’t like to throw stones, but that doesn’t mean we will surrender before your power,” he added, while his supporters cheered him on.
Rashid has promised the reinstatement of Kashmir’s autonomy, the release of all political prisoners, and the repeal of controversial laws such as the Jammu and Kashmir Public Safety Act. The campaign offers a platform that appeals to people, especially the youth, who feel that their voices have been stifled since 2019. But many of Rashid’s opponents—including Abdullah and Lone, as well as Mehbooba Mufti, another former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir—have accused him of being an agent of the BJP.
The BJP has also been accused of supporting other political parties and independent candidates, further complicating the region’s political landscape. Another such example is JeI—which remains banned under the country’s anti-terrorism law. Though most of its leaders remain imprisoned and its assets seized, it is trying to make a comeback in this year’s elections and has demanded the suspension of its ban.
Abdullah, who was Jammu and Kashmir’s chief minister from 2009 to 2015, has voiced concerns over the proliferation of independent candidates and accused the BJP of using them to dilute the opposition’s vote. “Independent candidates are being deliberately fielded to create confusion and divide votes in critical constituencies,” he said at a recent rally. “The BJP is leaving its options open. … Voters need to be cautious. Fragmented votes will only serve to help those who do not have Jammu and Kashmir’s best interests at heart.”
To bolster its chances and stave off a BJP victory in Kashmir, the National Conference has formed an alliance with Rahul Gandhi, India’s opposition leader from the Indian National Congress party. Yet the Gandhi-Abdullah alliance’s promises to restore the region’s autonomy are viewed skeptically, even by their own supporters. New Delhi has made it abundantly clear that Article 370 will never be reinstated.
Mufti, the leader of the People’s Democratic Party (PDP) and who was chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir from 2016 to 2018, has also thrown her hat in the ring. After the 2014 elections, the PDP formed an alliance with the BJP—which has cost it support—but since 2019, the PDP has been the strongest opponent of the BJP and its policies in Kashmir. On Sept. 25, Mufti told a gathering: “Jammu and Kashmir will never have a BJP government. There will be a secular government. … PDP will be an important factor.”
Mufti’s party has also pledged to bring back statehood, revoke detention laws, and release prisoners, among other promises. Meanwhile, the BJP has continued to target both Abdullah and Mufti as “dynasts” who have kept Kashmir mired in conflict.
Though the debate over Kashmir’s autonomy has taken center stage among candidates, voters across polling stations in Kashmir are also concerned about their daily cost of living and issues such as high unemployment, increased electricity costs, limited infrastructure, and continuous detentions and police verifications.
The current political climate in Kashmir harks back to the 1970s, when Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah, then the chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir, pledged to safeguard the region’s autonomy while New Delhi’s Janata Party—a precursor to today’s BJP—led by Morarji Desai, tried to block his return to power.
Similar to the 1977 regional elections, today’s promises of autonomy now ring hollow to many residents, as successive governments have failed to preserve Kashmir’s special status. Kashmiris feel that elections have historically served as a tool to dilute their aspirations rather than fulfilling them. Manzoor Ahmad, a 49-year-old from Srinagar, voted for the first time this year. “I voted for a greater good,” he said. “We are facing lots of problems as we have been crushed. We want a local party to win to stop this.”
No matter who wins the elections, however, the new government is likely to be weak with limited powers, overshadowed by the New Delhi-appointed governor. The elections have thus become a ballot on the region’s lack of autonomy—and by extension, a test of how voters view Modi’s government.
“These election rallies have the same nomenclature as that of protest rallies in the past,” said Waheed Parra, a PDP candidate from southern Kashmir. “I see people, mostly youth, in campaigns, and it is visible they are angry. They want space to be expressed and be heard. Nobody has listened to them in the past five years.” Parra warned that if the mandate of these elections is not respected by New Delhi, the situation on the ground could turn dangerous.
The undercurrents may already exist. It appears not everyone in Kashmir is excited about the elections. Compared with the 2014 regional elections, some parts of the valley have either witnessed low voter turnout or only a slight increment. In Srinagar, for example, which is the summer capital, turnout in the second phase of voting was low, at just under 30 percent.
New Delhi has invited a delegation of 15 diplomats from foreign countries, including the United States, to observe the local elections, though many of the BJP’s opponents, including Abdullah, have questioned the visit.
Kashmir’s political future may still be fragile, but its path is being steadily reshaped by forces both old and new. As the elections progress, one thing is evident: New Delhi’s attempts to suppress dissent and tighten its grip on Kashmir over the last five years have inadvertently reignited the region’s political landscape, bringing back to the stage individuals and groups who once led mass protests and called for election boycotts. Simultaneously, the fear of continued repression has prompted many to vote, in a bid to see some change—even as the region’s underlying tensions remain unresolved.
