Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front

The Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) is a political and separatist organization founded in the 1970s, advocating for the self-determination of the people in the region of Jammu and Kashmir, which is contested by India and Pakistan. Initially, it focused on armed resistance but later adopted a more political approach. The JKLF seeks either complete independence for Kashmir or unification with Pakistan, depending on its leadership's stance over time. It has played a significant role in the Kashmir conflict, representing a section of the Kashmiri population's desire for autonomy and a distinct identity.
