Kashmir: Seeking an Authentic Uproar

Albeit I have been lamenting upon the lack of authentic uproar in the quarters of global activism over the past few days as far as the terrible and ironical plight of Muslim Kashmir, I have not been able to discount the kind of news headlines recently observed in British and American mainstream news media not to mention Al-Jazeera from the Middle East.  Even the BBC ran a story on the recent turn of events wherein Muslim Kashmir has been effectively imprisoned under the watchful eyes of 900,000 armed Indian personnel stationed in their territory – the world’s most militarized zone which just became more militarized by around 200,000.  Quite obviously, as The Guardian admits, the British are concerned about the probable repercussions of Modi’s rising fanaticism and the probable consequences spilling over on British soil given the huge population of British Pakistanis, predominantly of Kashmiri origin, totalling at approximately 1.1 million, living side by side with the 1.4 million strong British Indian community.  To have Hindu-Muslim communal tension or rioting follow the British Empire from pre-partition British India straight onto the White man’s territory must not be a very pleasant prospect for Borris Johnson or the Queen for that matter.  The United States also hosts around 363,000 residents of Pakistani descent although the Indian community stands much stronger at about 1.5 million.  And quite obviously the self proclaimed guardians of the world would not want to witness Hindu-Muslim tension on the rise on American territory.  More or less the same situation is found in the Middle East where Pakistani and Indian expat communities coexist in significant sizes, and perhaps that was why Al-Jazeera first brought forth news of Kashmir to the world  following Modi’s fascist move (not to forget Al-Jazeera tends to do that more frequently than the rest of the world mainstream media even if their reporting only tells half the truth).  So essentially the mainstream media jumped in and voiced concern about the developing circumstance in Kashmir because various countries of the world, both in the West and the Middle East, host sizable populations of Indian and Pakistani/Kashmiri expats, and frankly speaking have to save their own asses from what they permitted to occur as a direct result of their own Geo-political conniving a century ago and/or their conscienceless silence through the past 70 plus years.  Does the mainstream media deserve appreciation for this?
