Ethnic Cleansing in Kashmir

Ethnic cleansing in Kashmir refers to efforts aimed at changing the region's demographic makeup through violence, forced migration, or other coercive actions. Historically, it involves attempts to remove or suppress particular ethnic or religious groups, such as Hindus or Muslims, to establish dominance by another group. This has led to widespread suffering, displacement, and instability, impacting the social fabric of the region. The term highlights the severity of these actions, often associated with political conflicts and struggles over control of Kashmir between India, Pakistan, and local groups.
