India Forces Kashmiri Muslims to Raise Indian Flags at their Homes

On 4th July, the Jammu and Kashmir administration nominated nodal officers for “successful implementation of the initiative Har Ghar Tiranga”. The initiative aims at having, by force if necessary, an Indian flag hoisted over each house in Kashmir. The appointed nodal officers have to ensure that every house will hoist the Indian flag. The initiative is another attempt of “forced identification with India” thrusted at Kashmiris against their will, who continue to struggle for the right to self-determination. The refusal to hoist the flag will result in intimidation and arrest of the individual. The fact that the Indian state has to coerce the people of Kashmir into raising an Indian flag is very telling.
