01About the Event

The İLKE Foundation invites you to a discussion titled "The Palestinization of Kashmir" with Muzzammil Ayyub Thakur, president of the World Kashmir Freedom Movement. 

 

This seminar will explore how India’s policies in Kashmir—military occupation, demographic change, and legal erasure—mirror Israel’s actions in Palestine. As settler-colonial ideologies like Hindutva and Zionism shape both regions, Kashmir increasingly reflects the Palestinian experience of displacement and control.

 

We will discuss the following issues and more:

What “Palestinization” means in the context of Kashmir,

Common strategies of occupation in Palestine and Kashmir,

The role of ideology: Hindutva and Zionism,

Global solidarity against settler-colonial regimes.
