On February 23 1991, Indian Security Forces the twin villages of Kunan Poshpora, located in Kashmir’s Kupwara district, to conduct a search operation after being fired on by militants. Once inside the village, the male residents were taken away from their homes, while the forces searched the village. It is alleged that the men from the security forces raped the women of the village. It is alleged that more than 100 women were raped by the search party, including a pregnant woman who gave birth to a baby with a fractured arm, and a deaf and dumb girl.

Today, as we mark thirty years since the mass rape, India Against Fascism will post a series of videos, books and articles about the incident that is forever imbibed in the memory of Kashmiris, and serves as a gruesome reminder of human rights violations by the Indian Security Forces in the state.
“We must do away with the absolutely specious notion that everybody has to earn a living. It is a fact today that one in ten thousand of us can make a technological breakthrough capable of supporting all the rest. The youth of today are absolutely right in recognizing this nonsense of earning a living. We keep inventing jobs because of this false idea that everybody has to be employed at some kind of drudgery because, according to Malthusian-Darwinian theory, he must justify his right to exist. So we have inspectors of inspectors and people making instruments for inspectors to inspect inspectors. The true business of people should be to go back to school and think about whatever it was they were thinking about before somebody came along and told them they had to earn a living.”
