Kashmir issue after the 2025 war by Rehana Ali

I believe we stand today at a dangerous crossroads not only for South Asia but for the entire world. The conflict in Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir is highlighted after the recent conventional war between India and Pakistan on 9th May 2025, and the tragic Pahalgam incident on 22nd April 2025 that cost 26 innocent lives has brought us dangerously close to a nuclear flashpoint.
India and Pakistan are nuclear-armed nations. It is established any escalation is a threat not just to Jammu and Kashmir, but to the global peace. Kashmiris call upon on the United Nations and international community to launch a partial but urgent investigation into the Pahalgam incident to establish transparency, accountability, and prevent the spread of false narratives that could lead to war.
India, under Narendra Modi, India is led by a man often described as “Modi 2-in-1”, both the Prime Minister of India and the global ambassador of Hindutva extremism. Modi’s association with the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its ideological parent, the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), which dreams of an “Akhand Bharat” (Greater India), represents a grave ideological threat. This supremacist agenda undermines minorities not only in India but throughout South Asia. One reason in South Asia “India out” campaigns were launched by Bangladesh and Maldives and other states isolated India for its cross boarder terrorism.
This Hindutva ideology is not limited to India anymore spread through it’s Western offshoot, the Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh (HSS) operates actively in:
•The United Kingdom
•The United States
•Canada
•Australia
•And Europe
The UK’s Channel 4’s investigations confirmed these networks:
•Brainwash youth by introducing Yoga
•Join politics to recruit members for HSS
•Promote hatred and violence which I believe is through Bollywood
Furthermore, India stands accused of state-sponsored terrorism through assassination plots targeting Sikh and Kashmiri activists in the UK, the USA, Canada, Australia and Pakistan.
Stolen Uranium and water terrorism are threats beyond borders. There have been over 30 reported incidents in the last two decades of stolen or trafficked uranium from Indian nuclear facilities sold in world black markets. This represents a threat not only to world peace and human existence, but also to India’s internal stability, where more than 19 separatist freedom movements exist, including:
•Muslim-majority Kashmir
•Sikh-majority Punjab
•Christian-minority Manipur and Nagaland
•And South India
India must be warned from laying down the precedent of war terrorism, claiming to stop water to Pakistan which is the foundation to life and belongs to the Jummu and Kashmir not India. Giving India no right but confirms how India is using Kashmiris resources without their well.
Kashmiri women, rape impunity, and global confirmation to support their cry against rape by Indians. Kashmiri women have never been safe, not in Jammu and Kashmir, nor in India. Rape has been used as a weapon of war by occupying forces. Recently, the United States also issued a travel advisory urging females not to travel alone to India due to increasing numbers of rape crimes. This confirms what rape survivors have said.
Please note India’s rape crisis is protected by:
•Impunity law like AFSPA was introduced in 1957 and updated in 1991 for Jammu & Kashmir
•Untouchability and caste-driven shielding
•Political protection from the BJP and RSS networks of the Hindutva brain children
Even Congress leader Rahul Gandhi called Delhi the “Rape Capital of the World.” If Indian women are unsafe in their capital, what of Kashmiri women living under occupation?
We remember Kashmir Martyrs and prisoners by honouring their voices:
We imprisoned or silenced Kashmiri leadership, human rights activists and  journalists:
•Yasin Malik
•Dr. Qasim Faktoo
•Shabir Ahmed Shah
•Khurram Parvez
•Asif Sultan
•Sajad Gul
•Aasiya Andrabi
•Altaf Shah
•Musarat Alam Bhat
Martyred by the occupation:
•Syed Ali Shah Geelani
•Ashraf Sehrai
Non-Kashmiri human rights defenders:
•Arundhati Roy
•Medha Patkar
•Kumar Vishwas
•Saifuddin Soz
Legal Violations and the Nullity of the Simla Agreement is important to globally highlight.
India continues to violate:
•The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR)
•The Geneva Conventions (1949)
•UN Security Council Resolutions 47, 51 & 91
The Simla Agreement 1972, was signed under duress after the 1971 war and without Kashmiri consent which is considered void under the international law and recently confirmed by Pakistan. It can’t override Kashmiri people’s right to self-determination or the 18 UNSCRs passed UNSCR till present.
The Kashmir issue will again be debated in the UK House of Lords on 17 July 2025. I humbly request that these pressing points, human rights violations, nuclear threats, crimes against women, and extremist ideology be fully raised and addressed.
My six humble appeals to the British Parliament:
1.Launch an independent international investigation into the Pahalgam incident.
2.Reinforce calls for a UN-supervised plebiscite in Kashmir.
3.Ban the Hindutva ideology  which mirrors Nazism, by globally sanctioning RSS and HSS networks.
4.Hold India accountable for uranium trafficking and its growing nuclear instability endangering the world peace.
5.Support and amplify the voices of Kashmiri political prisoners, martyred activists, and exiled freedom defenders.
6.India must be restrained by the UNSC and the World Bank of Water Terrorism, which could set a precedent in the world.
A call to the UK and the world to remind them, UK is a permanent member of the UN Security Council (P5), a founding voice in the Commonwealth, and a state with universal jurisdiction under international law, the United Kingdom must act:
•Use its universal jurisdiction powers to pursue sanctions and legal accountability for India’s routine war crimes in Kashmir.
•Commence prosecution of India at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) and refer individuals to the International Criminal Court (ICC) for:
◦Use of rape as a weapon of war
◦Extra-judicial killings
◦Forced disappearances
◦Violation of UN resolutions
◦Suppression of journalists and activists
◦Nuclear trafficking negligence
This is not just a regional issue, this is a test of international justice and the UK’s values. Justice delayed is not just justice denied but it is a warning. The time to stand with Kashmir is now no later.
