We have been hearing this phrase for sometime now that BLACK LIVES MATTER. One black unarmed man George Perry Floyd was killed by an American cop and the whole world spoke against it. There were protests all over the United States of America against this brutality despite severe lockdown by the American governmnet. Everyone stood with George Floyd and against racism. Yes people of color are treated differently and are looked down upon, yes they were kept as slaves and yes even today racism exists and black people are not given equal rights and the whole world speaks for them. But shall i now tell you about a nation whose men and children are being killed, women are being raped and a deadly genocide prevails in their region and yet no one listens to those ailing and wailing people and the world turns a blind eye toward them? Do you know which nation that is? They are kashmiris who are facing all of this since 1947. No country speaks for them other than Pakistan. Why? I’ll tell you why. This is because they are muslims. Those people are being treated this way because they are muslims and the world unfortunately holds no sympathy for muslims. One black unarmed man was killed and the whole world mourned his death but what about those thousands boys who have been kidnapped by the indian troops and what about those women who are raped on daily basis by those same indian soldiers? Is world going to stay quiet on this issue? Does no one has a heart when it comes to kashmiri muslims? This kind of barbarity is unacceptable not just for a black people but all people despite their color, cast, creed and religion. The murder of any innocent man, black or not, is condemnable and people responsible for such brutality and viciousness should be held answerable because not just BLACK LIVES but ALL LIVES MATTER!!
