Kashmir - Don’t Blink
tw: police brutality, graphic images of injuries, rape, flashing/epilepsy tw
[video id: This is Kashmir under occupation in 107 seconds. Ready? Try not to blink. 3… 2… 1…. In August 2019, India revokes Kashmir’s semi-autonomous special status. Insert is a clip of India’s Prime Minister Modi saying, “This is dawn of a new era” in hindi. Escalating their reign of terror. Communication shut down. Media blackout. Propaganda. Fake News. Because India (really) wants to hide its OPPRESSION. Insert is a clip of state sanctioned violence. In the background, chants of “Azaadi,” freedom in Urdu is heard. Seventy two long brutally fascist, record-shattering, completely inhuman years later, this is what Kashmir looks like: 738,000 Indian troops deployed. That is one solider for every eleven civilians in Kashmir. $1.4 billion lost in two months. (Economy shattered) 8 million people disconnected. Every single one. Every last one. 4000 people arrested. Bye Bye Democracy. Countless injuries, wounds, death and the Kashmir Valley, yes the Kashmir Valley now looks like this. Insert images of heavily militarized Kashmir Valley. While the Indian army has complete impunity to kill, abuse, rape. Yes, we said rape. 5000+ reported victims. Fact. Just how India has turned Kashmir into the world’s largest prison in 2019. Oh yeah, and the pellet guns. License to blind. (ICYMI) Shot in the face. Insert images of people shot in the face with pellet guns and showing other injuries. 17 killed, 6211 injured. 718 blinded. Even children. Tick Tock. And it gets worse. Nearly 6000 unmarked graves. Abductions. 8000 people have “disappeared.” All leaders under arrest. No political representation allowed. #Fascism. #RealFascism. And its not just physical. 45% adults under distress. 50% women suffer depression. 22% women have PTSD. Only one psychiatric hospital and 215,000 children are orphans. But Kashmir won’t give up on its DREAM. Insert is numerous clips of protests. A man cries out, “What do we want?” in hindi, following the crowd chants back, “Azaadi” multiple times. Are the leaders of the world listening? And oh, check out all this other stuff: Kashmiris have endured electrocution, stripped naked, electrocuted in genitals, hanged upside down, aeroplane stress position, head dunked….. [video cuts to all the violence inflicted upon Kashmiris] And now you know. Which means it is the the time for you to act. #StandWithKashmir end id]
I’ve seen a lot of posts on my dash tonight about users who are threatening suicide, with other Tumblr members posting in effort to try to get ahold of them. I think you all should see this:
IF THERE IS EVER A TUMBLR USER WHO HAS POSTED A GOOD-BYE MESSAGE, SUICIDE NOTE, VIDEO, OR ANYTHING OF THE SORT, PLEASE FOLLOW THIS POST.
1. Scroll to the top of your dashboard.
2. See the circular question mark icon at the top? It’s the third one over from your home symbol. Click on that, and a screen similar to the one in the picture will come up.
3. Where you can type in questions, the box with the magnifying glass at the top, type in the word “suicide.”
4. Click on the first link that shows up. It should say, “Pass the URL of the blog on to us.”
5. Type in the user’s URL and tell Tumblr admin that the user is contemplating suicide and has posted a message indicating that they are going through with it or will be attempting. Hit send! Tumblr administration will perform a number of actions to contact the user and take the necessary steps to prevent the suicide.
TUMBLR: THIS COULD SAVE A USER’S LIFE. PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE SUICIDE THREATS.
Reblog this to keep other users aware. Suicide isn’t a joke, and neither is someone’s life. If you didn’t know this, someone else may not, either. Pass it on.
