Settler colonialism (i.e., taking possession of the population economy)! Mirza Waheed, ‘India’s illegal power grab is turning Kashmir into a colony’, The Guardia, 15/08/19

15Aug19

Excerpt: India has […] abrogated article 35A, introduced in 1954. It empower[ed] the state legislature in Srinagar, the capital [of Kashmir], to define who is a permanent resident with the right to buy property and apply for jobs. It’s the dissolution of this article that perhaps presents a graver threat to Kashmiris, as it potentially clears a way for Indians to acquire land. […] I asked a Kashmiri journalist who had returned to Delhi after spending two days in the state if he knew where it was all headed. He responded with one word, Falasteen, the Urdu for Palestine – a clear reference to the settler-colonialist occupation there [emphases added].
