Kashmiri nationalism

Kashmiri nationalism refers to the desire among some people in the region of Jammu and Kashmir to assert their identity, culture, and political autonomy, often in relation to India and Pakistan. This sentiment has roots in historical grievances, such as the region's disputed status after the partition of India in 1947, the influence of diverse religions and languages, and ongoing conflicts. Proponents seek greater self-determination, autonomy, or even independence, highlighting issues like human rights and local governance. The nationalism is shaped by a unique blend of cultural heritage and political aspirations, complicating the region's geopolitical landscape.
