A woman can be a means of claiming ownership of land and a political narrative. That’s what many Hindu nationalistic trolls believe after the ruling BJP government stripped Kashmir of Article 370 protections
Article 370 of the Indian Constitution - a law that gave Kashmir semi-autonomous status -many Indians are eyeing anything and everything that’s Kashmiri.There is a complete communication clampdown in the valley, which prevents residents from accessing the internet, little do they know what is in the offing for them.
As #Article 370 trended globally, there was a sharp increase in bizarre online posts asserting Hindu supremacy and claiming ownership of women. The posts reeked of objectification with many across India fantasising about marrying ‘white skinned’ Kashmiri girls. Some were even equating property with women.
Article 370 is abolished. Wonderful. Kashmir is now free for those who want to marry Kashmiri women. Who want to buy Kashmiri land. They are the ones rejoicing the most. These 'tolerant' people. And the best part, it is Naag Panchami today.
