First of all, I am not a Marxist, so our political ideologies might differ. Although I draw a great deal of inspiration from Marx’s work, I am more of an advocate for Social Democracy. Therefore, my views might appear more centrist to you.

Kashmir is effectively an open air prison where Indian solidiers do wanton crimes against humanity, while privileged Indian citizens can do their tourism.

I did mention in my comment that the state is under heavy central surveillance, and I also agree that the people there have been subjected to military abuses on multiple occasions. However, the majority of Kashmiris do not support Pakistani occupation of the territory. They want peace and prosperity, something that, unfortunately, neither Pakistan can give, nor the Indian government seems able to provide under the current border issues. Don’t forget that the greatest casualties in the cross-border conflicts have been Kashmiri Muslims, both literally and figuratively.

Pakistani military has long been an extension of defacto US foreign policy / dollar capital power but then so is the majority of Indian bourgeoisie apparatus from government to media.

Yes, so what about it? What are you trying to suggest?

Why not subsitute the word Hindu in there?

Did you even read what I wrote? I mentioned both Hindutva politics and Islamic fundamentalism as problems. I’m an atheist and a positivist, so I’m equally opposed to both. India is an extremely complicated country, with discrimination operating on multiple levels. Even within the majority religion, there is discrimination. Like I said, it is a class issue.
