Hurriyat Movement

The Hurriyat Movement is a political coalition in Jammu and Kashmir, focused on advocating for the right to self-determination for the region, which is disputed between India and Pakistan. Formed in the late 1990s, it comprises various separatist groups and leaders who seek independence from Indian rule or unification with Pakistan. The movement emphasizes political dialogue, human rights, and the aspirations of the Kashmiri people. Its stance has contributed to ongoing tensions in the region, influencing local, national, and international dialogues on Kashmir's future and the broader issues of autonomy and governance.
