Kashmir (IPA: [kaʃmiːr]) is the northernmost geographical region of the Indian subcontinent. Until the mid-19th century, the term "Kashmir" denoted only the Kashmir Valley between the Great Himalayas and the Pir Panjal Range. Today, the term encompasses a larger area that includes the Indian Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, the Pakistani-occupied territories of "Azad" Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan, and the Chinese-administered territories of Aksai Chin and the Trans-Karakoram Tract.

Protests continue to rage in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir amid Pakistan's deadly crackdown. As per reports, the Asim Munir-led military has rushed thousands of troops and heavy weaponry to PoK to quell the protests. On the other hand, Pakistan continues to face internal turmoil in Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

I've heard about this situation for a long time, can someone explain the basics in a post for noobs? (lemmy.ml)

There are some problems with the title and description of this community. First of all, Kashmir is not a part of India, so the Indian flag should not be displayed in the title. Second, the description falsely claims that Free Kashmir is "occupied" by Pakistan, when in fact it is India that is occupying Kashmir. India's occupation is violent and has made Kashmir one of the most heavily militarized zones in the world.
