The once-mighty glaciers of Simthan and Margan peaks, once guardians of Kashmir’s lifelines, now stand as mere shadows of their former selves. For years, the skies have withheld their snow, and with each passing winter, the mountains grow barren. Without this precious snowfall, the glaciers fail to accumulate, and the deep veins of the earth remain parched

Totally agree with most criticism of #Israel and its atrocities in #gaza #Palestine
But when people say "no other country would get away with it" I wonder
Do they not know about what #Indonesia did to #EastTimor? What #India is doing to #Kashmir? What #China is doing to the #Uyghurs & #Tibetans? What #Russia did to #Chechnya?
We can debate intensity, impact, scale of atrocities, etc, but the idea that only Israel is getting away with committing crimes against humanity is naive ignorance.
Looking for a #journalist who is in, or has covered, #environmental issues in #India-administrated #Kashmir for a potential cross-border collaborative investigation.
So far, it's been very challenging, so please share widely, or send suggestions to me.
PAKISTAN’S UNSTABLE RIIMLANDS
Dr Amjad Ayub Mirza and I had a very interesting conversation on Pakistan and its unstable rimlands. The issue gravitated to reunification of POJK and GB with India. Many in India want to re-unify POJK and GB militarily. That is the worst option with a certainty of failure. Despite all the unrest in POJK and GB, the people have an anti India sentiment due to consistent brainwashing by Pakistan through ISI and its radical minions. They will prefer to live with a decadent Pakistan. If POJK or GB are to be amalgamated with the rest of Kashmir there has to be a political outreach which creates conditions for reunification. Use the power of modern information systems to convince the people there that they will better off by re-unifying with India is mandatory. A re-unification call must go out from the people of Kashmir to their brethren across the LOC. The issue also needs to be pursued through international channels. Most importantly India must have the political will to do so.
