Kashmir Martyrs' Day (original) (raw)

dbo:abstract

Kashmir Martyrs' Day (Urdu: یومِ شہداءِ کشمیر Transliteration. Youm-e-Shuhada-e-Kashmir) or Kashmir Day, was a former official state holiday observed in Kashmir in remembrance of 21 Muslim protesters killed on 13 July 1931 by Dogra forces of the princely state of Jammu and Kashmir. On the day, Kashmiri Muslims protesting outside the Srinagar Central Jail premises, where Abdul Qadeer was being held and tried on charges of sedition, were fired upon by the state forces after refusing to disperse and entering the prison premises. The crowds buried the bodies of those killed by the state forces in the graveyard attached to the Shrine of Khwaja Bahawuddin Naqshbandi (Ziyarat Naqshband Sahab) in Srinagar, which has since come to be known as Mazar-e-Shuhada or the Martyrs' Graveyard. The day was removed as an official holiday of Jammu and Kashmir by the Government of India in December 2019. The Government of Pakistan still marks the day. On the other hand, some Kashmiri Hindu organisations observe the events of July 1931 as the beginning of the oppression against Kashmiri Hindus which would finally reach a peak with the exodus in 1990. For Kashmiri Hindu organisations, the "ethnic cleansing of Hindus" had begun with the arrival of Muslims rule in the region. For them, the real victims are not the Kashmiri Muslims who died on 13 July 1931 but those Kashmiri Hindus who are "victims of communal carnage". (en)

"Muslim brothers: the time has now come when we should not meet force by great force to put an end to the tyrannies and brutalities to which you are subjected, nor will they solve the issue of disrespect to Holy Quran to your satisfaction. You must rely up on your own strength and wage a relentless war against oppression"; pointing his finger towards the palace he shouted, : "raze it to the ground". He said, "We have no machine guns. But we have plenty of stones and brickbats." (en)
