Preface:

The purpose of the author in compiling this


volume was to bring together in compact form
correct illustrations and events occurring in
Kashmir. Most of the events recorded in this
book occurred. This book is intended mainly for
the freedom of the Kashmiri people. To young
people, this book should be of value and
inspiration.
The initial portion is the description and study of
different events occurring in Kashmir, its
history, its current scenarios. How the Indians
have taken a complete charge on Kashmir
valley? The next part describes the attitude of
Kashmiri Muslims that how they are doing
struggle for peace. One may notice a perceptible
change in my writing style. Most of the content
is written in an easy dialogue to engage readers
constantly.
I assure you to go through this project
thoroughly to know a bit more and facts about
the events occurring in Kashmir.
Chapter 1: Wave of Despair
In a village in Kashmir, there lived a nightingale
on a tree. He used to giggle but now he had
stopped chirping. He smelled gunpowder in the
air. He saw blood mixed in the water of the
waterfall. Now he sat sadly on a tree branch. His
eyes were fixed on the mud houses of a distant
village. Peaceful people lived in this village. They
were busy with their fields or household chores
all day. They were not aware of what was
happening in the country or the world, but things
had changed in the last two weeks. A contingent
of Indian troops had come to the village. From
then on, the air smelled of gunpowder and the
water was bloody, and the nightingale stopped
singing in its beautiful voice, and the peace of
the village seemed to be destroyed. Noor was
waiting for his father. Five years had passed
when she last saw his father. They used to live
peacefully in the beautiful valley of Kashmir.
It is a hill between the Great Himalayan Range
and the Pir Panjal mountain range.It is
a place of purity and natural beauty painted by
Allah. It has a beautiful lifestyle for people.
Kashmir contains a form of terrains starting
from lakes, cover mountains, cone bearing hills
to geological formation fed rivers. On one
hand, the geographic area is filled with
untouched tract and on the opposite,
there are lands of peanuts and orchards of
oranges awaiting for their cultivation. They have
gardens of flowers filled with roses.
Noor was a sensitive and delicate girl. Her father
was her total universe. She was very close to her
father. Even so, she was her father's only
daughter. She remembered the moments when
her father was with her. Ever since Kashmir was
occupied by the Indian army, Noor's Father
Muhammad Ali has risen for struggle (jihad)
against tyranny. He joined other Kashmiri
soldiers in the jihad against oppression.
Recruiting troops had imposed a curfew in the
valley. People were imprisoned in their homes
and when they came out, Indian forces rained
tear gas on them.
Indian forces are used to shell on people. This
moment was no less than a resurrection. In that
case, she would have been shocked to think of
her father. she did not know whether he was
alive or fighting the Kashmir war, he would lose
his life. she didn't want to think of anything bad.
She remembered his father's advice. He used to
say, "Daughter, never despair of God's mercy."
But what does she do? She was very close to
her father. She talked to him about everything.
Her mother was busy with household chores and
she would spend the whole day waiting for her
father.
Nowadays, schools were closed due to curfew,
so she would spend the whole day thinking
about it. The situation was such that she would
be forced to think about all this.
Just yesterday's story seemed to be that she
used to go to school with his friend Wania. How
Wania was brutally murdered by the Indian
forces in front of her mother when they two were
alone at home. After hearing all these incidents,
she felt bad. Will this Ramadan also pass without
Baba? Noor thought. She has spent many
previous Ramadan and Eids without her father.
The Indian troops had occupied his village a few
days earlier, but the other areas of Kashmir had
been facing this issue for a long time.
Chapter 2 :A brief Death
She wondered if she would be able to meet her father.
Or spending time with her father like most Kashmiri
children would be just a wish. She remembered the
incident of Abdul Rehman, a child living in his
neighborhood.
Abdul Rehman was a very innocent boy. He had a
beautiful little house in the beautiful valley of Kashmir.
He lived happily with his little and cute sister and with
his parents and grandparents. One happy day, he was
going to pray in Masjid with his father. They left the
house happily. His younger sister ordered him, "Brother,
bring me chocolates when you get back from the
mosque." But who knew they would never return home.
Destiny had written about the separation of these two.
Abdul Rehman and his father were on their way to the
mosque. They were stopped by Indian soldiers on the
way to Mosque. His father hid Abdul Rehman behind
him. Maybe he knew what was going to happen. A
recruited terrorist said showing his Gun to them. Hand
over the child to us. Abdul Rahman’s father felt as if his
entire universe was being plundered. He hid Abdul
Rehman behind him and said, "Take whatever you want
from me. Nothing bad should happen with my son."
Indian terrorists laughed at him. They said, "We have no
concern from you. We want this child." We will make this
child a soldier like us who eliminates people like you."
Abdul Rehman Baba opposed them. The Indian officer
stepped forward and aggressively pulled the child. Abdul
Rehman who was very innocent said I will not become a
terrorist like you. I will save my Kashmir from beasts like
you. I will sacrifice my life for my country. One day
Pakistani forces will eliminate beasts like you. But how
did this little child know these things? From his
grandfather. Yes, his grandfather used to tell him secret
stories. He also listened with great interest. Because he
was a patriotic boy. From childhood, he was taught to
love his homeland. The Indian terrorists became furious
when they heard his words. A terrorist stepped forward
and grabbed the child. Abdul Rahman’s father tried to
save him and resisted. A recruited terrorist stabbed his
father in the abdomen with three bullets in front of Abdul
Rehman. There was darkness in front of Abdul
Rahman’s eyes. He could not see his father bathed with
blood. He shouted, "You are a very ruthless man. You
killed my father. My God will take revenge on you. He
was sobbing. Kashmir will be ours and ours. Kashmir is
a paradise and infidels cannot go to paradise. All these
things were taught to him by his grandfather. Today this
little soul said all this. The recruits became furious at
this. They started shelling him. Tear gas rained down on
him. A terrorist said, "Now look at your paradise with
these bad eyes." Abdul Rahman’s father lay dead on the
ground. Abdul Rehman also fell to the ground covered in
blood. His blood was irrigating the sacred land of
Kashmir.
Noor trembled with fear at the thought of all this. Tears
well up in her eyes as she thinks about all this. When
Noor saw Abdul Rahman’s sister sad, tears would come
to her eyes. Abdul Rahman’s sister still thought that he
would be back. It was a doomsday scene for his family.
But like other Kashmiri families, they had to be patient
Chapter 3: Silent Tears
Muhammad Ali, who had been away from home for
years, was engaged in jihad against the Indians, He
often cried remembering his daughter and family. One
day he was sitting in a soldier's camp and was thinking
about his family. Will they be alive or not? Will I be able
to see them again? Lost in those thoughts, he often
remembered his daughter's innocent words. But he still
had something to do for many other Kashmiri daughters.
He was lost in those thoughts when he heard the cry
from outside. It was very dark and he saw the Indian
soldiers grabbing a little boy. He couldn't see the
horrible scene. The boy's hands were tied and he was
shouting from pain. Muhammad Ali stood up and slipped
behind the tree. An Indian soldier heard his footsteps.
The Indian soldiers may not have known that the
Kashmiri forces had set up a new camp here with the
help of Pakistan. That's why they were here with the
child. The terrorist pointed to another terrorist. He found
out that Muhammad Ali was to be targeted. He shot the
gun at Muhammad Ali. The bullet hit him in the arm. He
became alert. Blood was coming out of his arm.
But he did not care for his arm. He had to save this child
from those brutal. He worked hard and took his gun. He
started firing on these Indian soldiers. Indian soldiers
who thought Muhammad Ali had been killed by a bullet
got Frightened by the sudden firing. The boy ran behind
the tree. Only after a minor skirmish, Muhammad Ali
managed to kill the two terrorists. Kashmiri soldiers in
the camp also came out from the sound of gunfire. His
arm was bleeding badly. Kashmiri soldiers quickly
rescued the child and opened his hands. Steps were
taken to stop the bleeding from Muhammad Ali's arm.
Everyone praised Muhammad Ali for his bravery. How
he killed two terrorists even while he was injured. The
senior officer became impressed when he heard the
story. The senior officer ordered Muhammad Ali to be
sent home along with two Kashmiri soldiers. Muhammad
Ali denied that he was alright. He said that He wants to
fight for Kashmiris. He wants to join the jihad against
oppression.
But other soldiers in the camp also tried to force
Muhammad Ali to go home. They knew how long
Muhammad Ali had been performing his duties well. As
soon as the night was over, Muhammad Ali had to make
his way home. On the one hand, he was sad that he
would not be able to take part in jihad for a few days.
But he would have been happy to think of the family and
Noor.
At least this year, he will spend Enid with his family.
How happy her daughter would be to see him? Thinking
this, he forgot his injured arm. He was waiting for the
morning. Allah had heard Noor's prayer and they were
going to spend coming to Eid together.
Chapter 4:The Happiness of Little Soul
Muhammad Ali had left for home. He was eager to meet
his daughter and other family members. He was so
happy. He was going to spend Eid with his family after 5
years. The next day was Eid day. He decided to buy
clothes, shoes, and bangles for his wife and Noor. He
wanted to make them happy. He bought things for them
from the market. Noor was sitting at home remembering
her father as usual. And her mother was busy with
household chores. Suddenly the doorbell rang. Noor
went and opened the door. There was no place for her
happiness. It all felt like a dream. She could not believe
her eyes. Seeing her father five years later was nothing
less than a miracle for her. Muhammad Ali warmly met
his daughter. At this moment Noor's mother also arrived.
It was as if spring had come to their house many days
later. Muhammad Ali gave them clothes and shoes.
Noor was very happy to see all this. The next day was
Eid day. They had a very happy day. Noor said to her
father, "father, we will have Eid together after full five
years. I am very excited." His father said that once
Kashmir is liberated and made a part of Pakistan then
we will have many happy Eids. Noor replied innocently.
"Who are the people occupying Kashmir? What do they
want?" Father People call Kashmir a paradise but it is
not so bad with the people in paradise. She continued.
Look, Daughter. Muhammad Ali spoke up. Kashmir is so
beautiful that it seems like a small part of paradise on
earth. Its beauty cannot be compared to the whole
world. Kashmir has been always more precious than a
mere place. It's the quality of an experience, or a state
of mind, or maybe a perfect. And the disbelievers want
to take over this paradise completely. According to the
law, wherever there is a Muslim majority, Muslims get
power. And where Hindus have a majority, Hindus get
power. But India is not doing justice. India is forcibly
occupying the Muslims of Kashmir. India also violates
UN principles. He does not allow Kashmir to become
part of Pakistan. But the Kashmiri people will not give
up. Many Kashmiris were martyred in this struggle. We
will not allow their blood to be wasted. Kashmir will
come as an independent state. God will help us in our
struggle for freedom. We will not give up. Noor's father
was a true patriot. And the same passion was born in
his daughter. Noor said excitedly. "Kashmir will become
Pakistan". Paradise has not been given to any
disbeliever. With some enthusiasm, they started
preparing for Eid. Noor thought she would do jihad with
her pen.
They had to get up early in the morning because it was
Eid morning. Noor pressed her and father's clothes and
completed all the preparations. She was very happy to
celebrate Eid with her father and it will be a lot of fun.
And so her father was happy to celebrate Eid with the
family five years later. They lie down on the bed to
sleep.
Chapter 5:Valley Of Opression
Since the time the Indian Army involved Kashmir,
Kashmiris didn't rest calmly. All they dreaded was that
the Indian armed force would not assault them. All
things considered, this is how the Indian Army has been
doing numerous years. The Kashmir debate started at
the hour of the subcontinent's segment. The historical
backdrop of Kashmir is gone head to head with the
historical backdrop of the more extensive Indian
landmass and along these lines the nearby districts,
containing the spaces of Central East Asia, South West
Asia, and East West Asia. Generally Kashmir has
commented the Kashmir valley. It means a wider space
that includes the Indian associated regions of Jammu
and Kashmir. In 1947, Kashmir's populace was 67%
Muslim and three hundredth Hindu. The maharajah
asked to stop arrangement with West Pakistan, that
guaranteed coherence of exchange, travel,
correspondence, and comparative administrations
between them. Such an acknowledgement was
incomplete with India. Following mobs mobs in Kashmir,
in October 1947, Pashtuns from Pakistan's Khyber
Pakhtunkha selected by the Poonch fighters, attacked
its land area, along the edge of the Poonch fighters,
seemly offended by the barbarities against Muslims in
Jammu. The folks occupied with robbers and executing
on the techniques. The evident point of the instigators
was to scare Hari Singh in his shelter. All things being
equal, the emperor engaged the government of India for
help, and consequently the Governor-General Lord
Mountbatten joined depending on the prerequisite that
the ruler acquiesces to India. When the maharajah
marked the act of Accession, Indian troopers entered
Jammu and drove the Pakistanis irregulars from
pretty much a little part of the state. In the middle of
1948, India needed an aim of the Kashmir Conflict at the
UN. Following the system of the United Nation
Commission for India and West Pakistan (UNCIP), the
UN Security Council passed the resolution of 1947 on
21 month of 1948. The UN mission demanded that the
assessment of individuals of J&K need to be found. The
then Indian Prime Minister is reportable to
possess himself encouraged U.N. to survey
topographical area and on the rationale of results,
Kashmir's increase are going to be set. Still India
demanded that no vote may happen till the entirety of
the states had been gotten free from irregulars. Since
the time the division of the sub-landmass in 1947, the
establishments were masterminded the long-standing
struggle in and around the areas of Jammu and Kashmir
that perseveres nowadays. India and West Pakistan
have battled 3 conflicts over the domain there, and each
state keeps on saying claims over its whole space.
China conjointly holds an outsized bit of the challenged
domains. Strains and uncertain complaints around these
noteworthy questions actually feed more extensive
provincial flimsiness and sabotage endeavors for
neutralization inside the area. Regions regulated by
India and West Pakistan are separated by the street of
the board (LoC). This comprises a challenged line inside
the disputable area. This line is cheerfully challenged by
Indian and Pakistani militaries generally prompting
cross-fire and loss of lives. Explosions of brutality eject
regularly on numerous political partitions, fundamentally
between Indian security powers and aggressor
associations challenging Indian standard on the Indian
feature of topographical district.
The LoC split a few families, with people stuck on one or
the other feature of the gap unfit to go to family
members and companions. Exchange across the street
has conjointly been intermittent, and throughout the long
periods of rough clash, the shifted populaces of Jammu
and Kashmir on one or the other aspect of the LoC got
separated and dubious of each other option.

Regardless of an amazingly equipped deadlock


hounding among India and West Pakistan and a
sporadic respective discourse technique at the authority
level, common society in India, West Pakistan, and on
one or the other aspect of the LoC in the topographical
district has proceeded to effectively advance
commitment across isolates. Notable measures since
2004 to restore a few connections across the LoC are
high as can be upheld by the overall population directly
across the topographical district. These openings supply
expect greater coordinated effort and peacebuilding
across the LoC.
Chapter 6: The Bleeding Souls
Muhammad Ali and his family were sleeping peacefully.
Noor was so happy that she can't sleep properly. She
was eagerly waiting for the morning so that she can
spend the best Eid day with her father and family.
She fell asleep thinking this. There was complete
silence in the house. Sounds of crickets chirping can be
heard. Muhammad Ali was thinking of the child he had
saved. That How can he live without his parents? At the
same time, he heard a knock on the door. Who can be
at the door this time? He got up in shock. He knew the
whole situation about what was happening outside in the
bloody streets of Kashmir. He got up and walked slowly
towards the door. He wanted to hear the voices from the
inside. The noise was heard from all over, along with the
sounds of some weapons. He did not open the door and
went into the house to protect his daughter and wife. But
they, the tyrant terrorist, breaks down the door with
anger and entered the house. Noor and her mother had
also woken up from her sleep. Noor was shocked to see
these oppressors. Noor's father resisted. Noor's father
saw that the soldiers were armed with modern weapons.
One of them screamed. Where did you hide Saleh
Ahmed? Muhammad Ali was astonished. Who is Saleh
Ahmed? I don't know any Saleh Ahmed. An Indian
soldier said, "You are lying". An Indian soldier stabbed
Muhammad Ali in the chest with his full force.
Muhammad Ali felt as if his ribs were breaking. He fell to
the ground. Seeing this Noor screamed with sorrow.
Muhammad Ali's wife stepped forward to support him.
The Indian soldiers thought she was coming to attack
them. An Indian soldier straightened his gun and
stabbed him in the abdomen. Muhammad Ali's wife's
entrails fell to the ground. Her last scream was horrible.
Her parents fell to the ground in front of Noor's eyes. His
mother was probably dead. Muhammad Ali was
probably breathing. Noor was crying loudly. Muhammad
Ali fainted from the shock. Noor felt as if his whole
universe was destroyed.
A soldier stepped forward and cut Noor's throat. She
screamed and gave up his life. Darkness fell before her
eyes. Her dreams were shattered. His last wish to
celebrate Eid with his father was not fulfilled. Like many
other houses, this house was also ruined. Muhammad
Ali was lying face down on the ground
Noor's tiny body was lying on the ground and beside her
mother was lying dead. The locals heard their screams.
But they did not dare to come and support them.
Because Indian soldiers were marching all over and
they wanted to save their families from those brutal. The
Muslims of the valley live a miserable life in horror and
terror caused by many thousands of Indian troopers.
Thousands of Kashmiris have lost their lives in this past
year at the hands of the Indian military.

Pakistan has invariably raised its voice for the liberation


of Kashmir since 1948. The unresolved United Nations
agenda to carry a vote in Indian-occupied Kashmir is
like growth in international human awareness. If not
treated with wisdom and sagacity, it'll be the final word
threat to the peace and stability of South Asia.
Chapter 7: Dark Morning
It was nighttime. When Muhammad Ali's eye was
opened. For a long time, he stared at the roof blankly.
His memory was returning slowly. He was feeling pain in
his chest. Then he got up suddenly. The dead body of
his wife was lying in a corner. Then he started
screaming. There was a lot of pain in those screams. He
had seen Noor's decapitated body. Muhammad Ali's
world had become dark. His life purpose was diminished
with his family. Then he became silent. It sounded like
death. It is a matter of man's subconscious mind who
always tries to save his life from death and death follows
him. Whatever in the form of accident and disease but
the end death dominates. Love of life creates fear of
death. Muhammad Ali had no one of his own and now
he had no love for life. Now he had to take revenge.
Until now, there were no terrorists in the village. Now a
terrorist named Muhammad Ali was born from the womb
of oppression. Muhammad Ali came out of his room. He
drew his gun and intended to take revenge on the
oppressors. He was deeply saddened by the murder of
his dearest daughter Noor and Beloved wife. He didn't
care about anyone anymore. There was no one in his
life whom he cared about. The dead bodies of his wife
and daughter kept coming to his mind. His direction was
towards the Indian army camp. Without thinking that he
was alone, he decided to take revenge on them. At
some point in his way, he had found a friend who was
with him in military exercises. Muhammad Ali burst into
tears. He was crying and told her friend the story of his
family murder. His friend encouraged him. He shared his
thoughts with his friend. After hearing all this his friend
said, “You got it wrong. Why did we take up arms? Why
did you get the weapon picked up? We wanted peace.
We wanted freedom. They forced us to take up arms
because of their atrocities.
We all have the same story." His friend Hassan Ahmed
spoke sadly. Truth be told, but I want freedom and
peace as well as revenge. Muhammad Ali said in a
decisive tone. That is why I am here. We had received
news that Indian troops were committing atrocities here
but unfortunately, it took us a while to arrive. There was
an embarrassment in Hassan Ahmed's voice. There was
a nightingale nest on the tree. She had been watching
the atrocities for two weeks. Now she was looking at the
people who had come to take account. The bud of
happiness blossomed in the heart of the nightingale.
She spoke happily ko ko ko.
Chapter 8: The Revenge Quest
Let us go. At Hassan Ahmed’s voice, his hidden
comrades also came out. Then all together they moved
towards the cantonment. It was nighttime. They passed
through a barren area. There they saw a faint light
coming from the hut. As they approached the hut, a
woman's squeaking sound came from inside. They
became curious. When they entered the house, an old
woman was sitting and crying. They looked at each
other intently. Hassan Ahmed asked, "what happened
mother." How do you live alone in this desolate area?
And tell us why you are crying. We are Mujahids fighting
against Indian oppression.
We will not hurt you." The old woman, who had been
silent until now, spoke up, "about 10 years ago from
today My young son went for a picnic with his friends.
And these tyrants annihilated him and his friends. The
Indian military wanted to forcibly recruit those five young
men. They wanted to make them a terrorist of their kind.
Those who kill and loot innocent children and people
without any reason. But those young men resisted. And
all of them were brutally killed.
My son was my whole universe. But his departure
ruined my world. I live alone in this desert with the same
hope that someday this valley will be free from the cruel
jackals.
Muhammad Ali and his friends became so sad. They
were determined to save the Kashmir Valley from these
oppressors. Muhammad Ali had tears in his eyes. He
knew the pain of losing a child. He did not forget the loss
of his wife and daughter. He got up and traveled with his
companions to the Indian camps.

Chapter 9: Peace in the Storm

They reached the Indian Army camps. All the Indian


soldiers were sleeping peacefully in a large room after
playing devilish games. Two guards were guarding
them. But they, too, were now asleep in their chairs all
night long. Muhammad Ali has stopped everyone
behind. It was his revenge. In this revenge, he did not
accept anyone’s honor. Then he moved on. Before his
eyes, were the bodies of his wife and his dearest
daughter Noor. His gun was raised. And then it was
dead in the air. A few moments passed like this. Then
he heard the whisper of Hassan Ahmed from behind.
Attack, we are with you. Take revenge on your wife and
daughter and of all those citizens of Kashmir. But
Muhammad Ali listened to him. The gunned hand had
come down. Then he began to take steps to return.
What happened? Why did you stop? Hassan Ahmed’s
astonishment was palpable. They killed my wife and
daughter and many other innocent children of Kashmir
including the little boy Abdul Rehman and the young
man of that old woman. There was a storm of sorrow
and grief in my being. I came to take revenge on them
and it is not difficult for me. I just stopped to think about
what will happen to his wife and children after the death
of all of them. This is not the way of freedom. This is not
the way to peace. I will look for the path that will lead us
to freedom and peace. I will find it. Muhammad Ali threw
his gun and went ahead. Hassan Ahmed was looking at
him as if he were a man from another world and the
Hindu military dreamers were asleep. He did not know
who had killed him the previous night and begging spit
on his life. Muhammad Ali had chosen the path of peace
by walking on it he had to gain freedom for himself and
others. He wanted freedom by walking on the straight
path. If he had killed these Indian soldiers today, they
would have killed more Kashmiris tomorrow. And this
bloody war would never end. But he took the straight
path. They had to fight this war with peace. Because
Peace and Love are the essences of all religions. Now it
depends on the person who follows them. There was a
ray of hope in his heart. One day Kashmir will be saved
from tyrants. Because the world calls Kashmir a
paradise. And no disbeliever will get Paradise.
Blurb
This book was written because of the current situation in
Occupied Kashmir. This is a short novella of a girl living
in Kashmir. The girl has a sensitive and loving
personality. The book describes the ups and downs
occurring in a girl’s life. This book depicts the horrible
situation of Kashmir. It shows us that the people living
in Kashmir are on a verge of chaos. They are living
miserable lives. They have been fighting for their rights
and independence for many years. They have been in
complete lockdown for almost two years. This book
completely describes that the Kashmiri people are
fighting for their rights with peace. They don’t use any
illegal means to free themselves from the Indians. On the
other hand, Indians are making the worst situations for
the Kashmiri Muslims and they have forgotten humanity.
