On the 5th of August, Modi revoked Kashmir’s special status, securing India’s control over the region. Now, following Imran Khan’s statement regarding India’s actions, in which he compared India’s action in Kashmir to the example of Modi's earlier ethnic cleansing of Muslims in Gujarat, there are concerns over the future of the Muslims in Kashmir.

﴿وَقَاتِلُوا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ الَّذِينَ يُقَاتِلُونَكُمْ وَلاَ تَعْتَدُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يُحِبُّ الْمُعْتَدِينَ (190) وَاقْتُلُوهُمْ حَيْثُ ثَقِفْتُمُوهُمْ وَأَخْرِجُوهُمْ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَخْرَجُوكُمْ وَالْفِتْنَةُ أَشَدُّ مِنْ الْقَتْلِ وَلاَ تُقَاتِلُوهُمْ عِنْدَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ حَتَّى يُقَاتِلُوكُمْ فِيهِ فَإِنْ قَاتَلُوكُمْ فَاقْتُلُوهُمْ كَذَلِكَ جَزَاءُ الْكَافِرِينَ (191)

A poem that captivates the emotions & sentiments of the Muslims in Kashmir, eulogized in the words of Shaheed Arhan from Hajin, Kashmir, by Abu Hafsa at the Janaza.

The State is an executive institution. What this means is that the State is supposed to take actions. The essence of the State is that it takes action on behalf of the society. So the State is an agent of the society. For obvious reasons the society needs agency in collective action.
