Religion, Armed Conflict, and the Quest for “Secular”: Mapping Martyrdom in Kashmir

Öz:

Religion is bivalent. It can be argued that religion is an instrument of peace and equivocally the role of religion in conflicts can be voiced as well. Religion can be a motivation to perpetuate violence; it can also be a background to conflict or it can be the means and end for parties involved in the conflict. Armed conflict has been a key feature of contemporary world politics, and its relation with religion would be interesting to probe into. Kashmir has been a festering political problem with little global attention. Intangible political positions have led to shame and humiliation. Kashmir has to resort to ‘scapegoating’ in the form of a ‘body of a militant’ as a sac- rifice. The failure of the secular world to deliver on its secular promises in the form of the right to self-determination is increasingly turning the local populace to transcendental means to achieve the secular. This paper will try to contextualize the quest for “secular” while examining the construction of Muslim identity, the institution of martyrdom, and its societal basis in Kashmir.

2. Riots erupted in 1947 in the Poonch and Jammu regions of Jammu and Kashmir. Hindu mobs aided by Dogra Maharaja’s army managed to kill about half a million Muslims. Many among those killed had ethnic and historical ties with the Pathan tribes in Pakistan. Hearing about the mayhem and massacre of Jammu Muslims, the large-scale mobilization of tribals and irregular soldiers of the Pakistan army began in the Frontier province of Pakistan. As tribals began to march toward Kashmir valley by October 1947, the Dogra Maharaja fled the state and is said to have signed the instrument of accession with India. In- dian forces were able to thwart tribal advances in the coming months. Pakistan Army responded to this Indian move with its military. War broke out between the Indian and Pakistan forces. This was the first war between India and Pakistan. During the war India’s then Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru promised a referendum and India referred the case to the United Nations. A resolution was passed on August 13, 1948 asking both sides to withdraw their forces. Once that happened, a referendum was to be held to allow the people of Kashmir to decide about their political future. The troops were never withdrawn and the referendum never happened. On January 1, 1949 a ceasefire was agreed upon and Kashmir became a disputed area. However, there are serious variations in the sequence of events, the number of people killed and the legality of the instrument of accession.
