Kashmir and India-Pakistan War Games 2025
11:30 am EDT / 9:00 pm IST / 8:30 pm PKT
In light of escalating tensions in South Asia, this timely webinar will examine the background of the recent military confrontations between India and Pakistan and their devastating impact on Kashmir. As war posturing, media jingoism, and nationalist rhetoric escalate, Kashmiri lives continue to be marginalized, erased, and silenced.
Our expert panel will address:
The use of hate speech and Zionist tactics in stoking war
The suppression of press freedom and Kashmiri voices
The human toll of occupation and militarization since 2019
Issues of international law, climate degradation, demographic shifts, and human rights
The urgent need for demilitarization and a just, permanent resolution in accordance with the wishes of Kashmiris
For over seven decades, Kashmiris have been treated as pawns in the India-Pakistan conflict. This conversation seeks to recenter their voices and advocate for peace, dignity, and sovereignty.
