Refusing + Resisting Anti-Kashmiri Racism for a Free Kashmir
Description
Binish Ahmed speaks in this session recorded at Socialism 2025. This session was sponsored by Kashmir Golpush.
What happens when an entire people are systematically dehumanized, their histories erased, and their identities weaponized against them? Anti-Kashmiri racism operates at the intersection of imperialism, settler-colonialisms, anti-Asian, anti-Muslim, and anti-Indigenous racism, portraying Kashmiris as perpetual threats and incapable of self-rule. This talk unpacks how such narratives legitimize genocidal settler-colonial violence, land dispossession, and cultural erasure, drawing parallels with global anti-Indigenous struggles. By critically examining the rhetoric and policies that sustain an ongoing genocide, we will explore ways to advocate for justice for a free Kashmiri future.
