India conducting a brutal campaign in Kashmir: Pankaj Mishra

ISLAMABAD, (MILLAT+APP): Indian essayist and novelist Pankaj
Mishra has said that Indian forces have conducted a brutal
campaign in Kashmir in which around a hundred people have been
killed and thousands injured including children since July, this
year.
According to Kashmir Media Service(KMS), Pankaj Mishra in a write-up in
The New York Times also wrote about Modi’s ascendency to power and how he
behaved as an opportunistic manipulator of disaffection with
little to offer apart from the pornography of power and a bogus
fantasy of machismo.
Indian author also criticised `mendacious media’ of India
which stokes hatred against Kashmiri Hurriyet leaders.
He also put on record that present Indian Prime Minister was
accused of supervising mass murder and gang rapes of Muslims – and
consequently was barred from travel to the United States for
nearly a decade – and that none of that prevented him from being
elected to India’s highest office.
“B.R. Ambedkar, the main framer of India’s constitution,
warned in the 1950s that democracy in India was `only a top
dressing on an Indian soil, which is essentially undemocratic.’
Now the top dressing is being hosed away,” Mishra wrote in the
same.
