Abstract

Abstract This paper examines the neo-colonial project of Narendra Modi implemented in Kashmir after the revocation of special status on August 5, 2019. The neo-colonial infrastructure supported by the threads of re-classification of legal residents and land designations intends to significantly transform the demography of Muslim majority Kashmir into a Muslim minority, consequently destroying the Muslim identity of the state. The abrogation of Article 370 and enactment of new domicile law has extended the legal and administrative control of New Delhi, making Kashmir indistinguishable from the Indian legal system and leaving no room for the local legislative assembly to make laws beneficial for the state residents. The paper asks how India is implementing the neo-colonial settler agenda in Kashmir. How and to what extent legal and military instruments are employed to disempower Kashmiris from territorial and cultural identity? The paper argues that Prime Minister Narendra Modi is pursuing a neo-colonial settler agenda in Kashmir through ‘ destroy and replace ,’ which is supported by the neo-liberal agenda, including; new land management policy, new domicile law, spatial planning and development, new settlements of Hindus, authoritative central control, and massive militarization to carry out gross human rights abuses and repression.
从废除到自治领:印度在克什米尔的新殖民主义定居者议程和克什米尔身份的消除
本文考察了纳伦德拉·莫迪在2019年8月5日取消克什米尔特殊地位后在克什米尔实施的新殖民主义项目。在合法居民重新分类和土地指定的线索的支持下,新殖民主义的基础设施旨在显著地将穆斯林占多数的克什米尔人口转变为穆斯林少数民族,从而摧毁该州的穆斯林身份。第370条的废除和新住所法的颁布扩大了新德里的法律和行政控制,使克什米尔与印度的法律体系没有区别,也没有给地方立法议会制定有利于该邦居民的法律留下任何余地。本文询问印度如何在克什米尔实施新殖民主义定居者议程。如何以及在何种程度上利用法律和军事手段剥夺克什米尔人的领土和文化认同?该论文认为,总理纳伦德拉·莫迪(Narendra Modi)正在通过“摧毁和取代”在克什米尔推行新殖民主义定居者议程,这得到了新自由主义议程的支持,包括;新的土地管理政策,新的住所法,空间规划和发展,印度教徒的新定居点,权威的中央控制,以及大规模的军事化,以进行严重的侵犯人权和镇压。

期刊介绍: Muslim World Journal of Human Rights promises to serve as a forum in which barriers are bridged (or at least, addressed), and human rights are finally discussed with an eye on the Muslim world, in an open and creative manner. The choice to name the journal, Muslim World Journal of Human Rights reflects a desire to examine human rights issues related not only to Islam and Islamic law, but equally those human rights issues found in Muslim societies that stem from various other sources such as socio-economic and political factors, as well the interaction and intersections of the two areas. MWJHR welcomes submissions that apply the traditional human right framework in their analysis as well as those that transcend the boundaries of contemporary scholarship in this regard. Further, the journal also welcomes inter-disciplinary and/or comparative approaches to the study of human rights in the Muslim world in an effort to encourage the emergence of new methodologies in the field. Muslim World Journal of Human Rights recognizes that several highly contested debates in the field of human rights have been reflected in the Muslim world but have frequently taken on their own particular manifestation in accordance with the varying contexts of contemporary Muslim societies.
