930 separate militarized accommodations built for migrant Brahmins in Kashmir
On 20th January, Jammu and Kashmir’s Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha inaugurated 930 militarized and settler-style accommodations for migrant Brahmins. Similar projects have been in process at nine other locations across Kashmir for migrant Brahmins[18].
India has long used the military in proposals for returning the Hindu diaspora back to the Muslim-majority region, constructing enclosed, heavily guarded colonies for them equipped with their own amenities and infrastructure[19]. These actions mark the transition of India’s rule in Kashmir from one of military occupation to Israeli-style settler-colonialism.
