Kashmir
continues to be a running sore in South Asia. The question was focused again
and again in recent past, more recently in JNU incident where slogans were
raised in favour of an independent Kashmir.
Kashmir
issue, a bone of contention between the rival states of India and Pakistan, is
the direct fallout of the reactionary, communal partition of the Indian sub-continent
in 1947, a catastrophe that occurred at the climax of a counter-revolution,
engineered by the British colonialists and aided and supported by the sections
of Indian bourgeois led by Congress, Muslim League, RSS and by the bogus policies
of the Stalinist CPI. Through brutal suppression of the anti-colonial
revolution and fostering massive communal riots, the foreign and local
bourgeoisie succeeded in preventing the working class from taking to power. The
reactionary settlement between the two, aborted the anti-colonial struggle, tore
apart the Indian sub-continent to establish rival client states of imperialism-India
and Pakistan, and resulted in horror of unprecedented communal riots in human history
ever, that took twenty million toll, apart from massive loot, arson, and rapes.
