In the aftermath of the deadly terrorist attack in Jammu & Kashmir’s Pahalgam, hatred against Kashmiris and Kashmiri students in particular surged in at least four northern states and Jammu, fuelled by right-wing groups. We spoke with Kashmiri students who had exams to write but had no institutional support. Hiding in their rooms, hoping for the worst to pass without violence, they spoke of mental and emotional trauma.

India has been committing genocide in Kashmir in a similar way to Israel with Paleatine and it receives very little coverage.

Here is a great video which is banned in India https://youtu.be/cvhddK3tWNY

This video used 2008 Mumbai attacks footage to show militants (to use the neutral term, not out of any respect towards suicide bombing) attacking Indian authorities. Those weren't military targets they were killing which you're being shown. If you've been alive when it happened, all credibility goes out of the window when you remember just how horrific it was. It is also a very surface level analysis, and I am saying this as someone who is very critical of the Indian government's crimes in Kashmir, which are many and horrifying, and of Israel's very obvious genocide in Palestine.

Motive "Islamic terrorism"

Man Wikipedia is a cesspool of Western imperialism and racism.

Truthfully, you're really fucking dumb if you think 26/11 was anything but that. Dumb at best. How old are you? I'm pretty sure international media covered it. Read. Even the Taliban is more defensible.

Yes they suddenly decided to do "Islamic Terrorism". Great explanation.
