THE KASHMIRI WORKERS ASSOCIATION’S DECLARATION OF LAUNCHING THE THIRD PHASE OF THE AZAD KASHMIR MOVEMENT My dear countrymen/women, brothers, sisters, friends and comrades This 4th Day of October 2008, I, Mohammad Younus Taryaby, hereby this declaration launch the Third Phase of the Azad Kashmir Movement on the behalf of the Kashmiri Workers Association ‘Britain’ on 61st Azad Republic of Kashmir Declaration Day. This is, in the history of Kashmir, also a third political attempt on the behalf of patriotic, progressive and revolutionary Kashmiri peasants, workers, students, and intellectuals to reclaim our political movement arose from the womb of the peasants’ rebellion of 1931. The uprising in the Valley of Kashmir following the events of 13th July 1931 failed within two months. The leadership that emerged from this uprising sold out the movement by making a futile five points agreement with the aristocratic regime of Kashmir on 26th August 1931. Disappointed by this sell out and oppressed under feudalism, a peasants’ rebellion broke out under the red flag in Mirpur in the same year. Within a very short period of time this rebellion spread to other regions of the country like a fire in jungle. A need for a political party was felt to take this struggle forward and the Muslim Conference was set up in 1932. From the very beginning the Muslims of the ruling classes like numberdars, zaildars, thakedars, jagirdars and religious stipendiaries took over the leadership of the Muslim Conference. Consequently, Kashmiri peasants and workers lost out their political movement to the Muslims of the ruling classes. The first successful political attempt was made by the patriotic, progressive and revolutionary leaders of the peasants and workers in 1939 for reclaiming their political movement and red flag. The name of the Muslim Conference was changed into National Conference. The National Conference, then, raised the red flag having a peasants’ tool “plough” - manufactured by workers such as carpenters and ironmongers. When the progressive, revolutionary and middle class patriotic activists realised that the leadership of the National Conference was working for the interests of the ruling classes, they set up their own political party - the Kisan Mazdoor Conference in 1946. Meanwhile some leaders of the National Conference had revived their previous party the Muslim Conference. The Kisan Mazdoor Conference, at the time, not only reclaimed peasants and workers’ movement successfully but it also launched the Azad Kashmir Movement by raising the slogan of Azad Kashmir on 12th May 1946.
2 Pundit Prem Nath Bazaz, the pioneer of the Azad Kashmir Movement, correctly analysed at the time Indian nationalism, Akhand Bharat, or one-nation-theory presented by Indian National Congress and Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi in British India as Brahminism which caused the birth of two-nation theory: Muslims and non-Muslims lead by the Indian Muslim League. On 15th August 1947, under the British made Indian Independent Bill of 1947, with the creation of two new dominions – Bharat and Pakistan based on religion and the transfer of prison houses of Indian nations built by the British imperialism in British-India, Kashmir became an independent and sovereign state in States-India. Maharaja Hari Singh, then ruler of Kashmir, also lost all rights his family used to claim to rule Kashmir under the “Amritsar Treaty of 1846”. However, the British imperialism had its own designs against the independence and sovereignty of Kashmir. When Mountbatton, the British ruler of “free Bharat” was working actively to annex Kashmir for Bharat by making favourable adjustments in the boundaries of partitioning Punjab, there was a big revolt taking place in Poonch and Mirpur against the oppressive rule of Maharaja Hari Singh. On 4th October 1947, hundreds of political activists including the leaders of the Muslim Conference took-over the leadership of the Azad Kashmir Movement in their attempt to give a political direction to the Poonch revolt and to defend the independence and sovereignty of the Kashmiri people by setting up a legal, constitutional and representative government of Kashmir, the Azad Kashmir Government with its headquarter in Muzaffarabad. Subsequently, a civil war broke out in Kashmir against the illegal and tyrannical rule of Maharaja Hari Singh. Under the leadership of the Azad Kashmir Government, the Kashmiri peasants and workers made great sacrifices and helped to organise the People’s Liberation Army of Kashmir known as Azad Kashmir Army and fed them. The Azad Kashmir Army liberated a large area of Kashmir known as Azad Kashmir, the base camp of the Azad Kashmir Movement within a few weeks. On 22nd October 1947, the British military and civil bureaucracy of Pakistan organised a tribesmen incursion into Azad Kashmir to block the march of the Azad Kashmir Army towards Srinagar, the capital of Kashmir, to communalise the Azad Kashmir Movement and to provide a pretext for the Bharati military invasion of Kashmir. Bharat did invaded Kashmir on 27th October 1947. Following the Bharati military invasion of Kashmir, the tribesmen invaders fled from Kashmir killing, looting, and plundering Kashmiri women. In this situation, the Azad Kashmir Army succeeded not only in defending Azad Kashmir for a very long time against the Bharati invasion but also in making the defeat of Bharati occupying army in Kashmir certain. In order to reverse these achievements of the Azad Kashmir Movement and to defeat the Azad Kashmir Army, General Gracey, the British Commander-in-Chief of the Pakistan army mapped out the division of Kashmir with a Line of Military Occupation (LoMO) as Naushera, Poonch and Uri.

On 20th April 1948, General Gracey submitted his military plan to the government of Pakistan to occupy Azad Kashmir implying Azad Kashmir Movement, Azad Kashmir Government and Azad Kashmir Army as terrorist forces. Pakistan army did invaded Azad Kashmir in May 1948. Under the military plan, mapped out by General Gracey, Kashmir was divided and annexed by Bharat and Pakistan and the United Nations was misused to legitimise the annexation of Kashmir in the name of Kashmir’s accession dispute between Bharat and Pakistan. As an end-result, the Azad Kashmir Government failed in defending the independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity of Kashmir. The failure of the Azad Kashmir Government in defending the Azad Kashmir Movement resulted in forced division of Kashmir into Bharati Occupied Kashmir, Pakistani Occupied Northern Kashmir and Pakistani Occupied Southern Kashmir and bringing an end to the first phase of the Azad Kashmir Movement. This meant that the people of Kashmir lost out their Azad Kashmir Movement and its history to the most powerful occupying armies and cultural industries controlled by the ruling classes of Pakistan and Bharat and supported by imperialist powers of the world. The second phase of the Azad Kashmir Movement, therefore, consists of a long struggle for digging the Azad Kashmir Movement out of distorted history of Kashmir compiled under the Bharati and Pakistani occupation to serve the interests of the occupiers. Khawaja Ghulam Nabi Gilkar Anwar, the founder president of the Azad Kashmir Government, always defended the Azad Republic of Kashmir Declaration made on 4th October 1947. Maqbool Butt Shaheed supported a programme of building ‘Azad Kashmir’ into the preparation camp for the war of liberation. These struggles of Kashmiri revolutionaries helped us in tracking down both the history of Azad Kashmir Movement and its relationship to the national question in India. After having a long struggle in exploring and analysing the Azad Kashmir Movement in the context of unresolved national question in India, the Kashmiri Workers Association ‘Britain’ is launching the third phase of the Azad Kashmir Movement today. This means the beginning of a new struggle towards building a revolutionary party of the masses of the people of every occupied part of Kashmir through organising workers, peasants, students and progressive intellectuals under the red flag of the Azad Kashmir Movement. Only through this struggle of the masses of the people of Kashmir the conditions can be created in favour of re-establishing the legal, constitutional and representative government of the Kashmiri people - the Azad Kashmir Government in any one of three occupied parts of Kashmir as a first and foremost stage to make the liberation of other occupied parts of Kashmir feasible. The red flag of the Azad Kashmir Movement represents Kashmiri peasants’ uprising of 1931. It also reminds us the struggle of the leaders of the peasants and workers who successfully reclaimed their movement and red flag by changing the name of Muslim Conference into National Conference in 1939. It also pays homage to the People’s
4 Liberation Army of Kashmir (Azad Kashmir Fauj) by having four stripes (rivers) of national pride. In the struggle towards building a revolutionary party of the masses of the people of Kashmir through defending the Azad Kashmir Movement, the Kashmiri Workers Association ‘Britain’ intends to play its role as a coordinating body amongst the people of Bharati Occupied Kashmir, Pakistani Occupied Northern Kashmir, Pakistani Occupied Southern Kashmir, and Kashmiris living in other parts of the world at these initial stages. This initiative of launching the third phase of the Azad Kashmir Movement taken by the Kashmiri Workers Association ‘Britain’ also appears to be a third political attempt of the Kashmiri workers in reclaiming our political movement since 1931 - the first being in 1939 and second in 1946. I define the Azad Kashmir Movement as a movement of the Kashmiri peasants and workers. It stands for an Azad aur Muttahida Kashmir (a free and united Kashmir) free from the occupation of Bharat and Pakistan, free from the exploitation of one class by another class, free from the oppression of one religious group by another religious group, free from the oppression of one caste by another caste, free from the oppression of one nationality by another nationality, and free from all forms of discrimination based on sex, race, faith and age. I added the term Muttahida in our struggle for an Azad Kashmir to meet the existing challenges emerged from the forced division of Kashmir. “Azad aur Muttahida Kashmir” is our new slogan. I would like to make it clear as it was made clear by Pundit Prem Nath Bazaz and affirmed by the thoughts of Maqbool Butt Shaheed, the Azad Kashmir Movement is a part of the workers and oppressed nations’ movements of the world. Thereby, we stand closely with all national and people’s liberation movements in India including Bharat and Pakistan and the world over in their struggle against feudalism, foreign occupation, imperialism, national oppression and capitalism. We, the Kashmiri workers in Britain, are aware fully of our position in this struggle being in Britain. We are an important segment of the British society and a part of the British working classes. Although, there are signs of a few Kashmiris moving towards middle class in Britain, all available social indicators suggest that the overwhelming majority of the Kashmiri community remains as one of the most oppressed sections of the British society. There are some understandable historical and political reasons for this. Having origin from an annexed colony, the Kashmiri community in Britain is not recognised as a distinctive ethnic group and, therefore, we have no solid evidence to claim our level of achievements or under-achievements in education, employment, housing and health. As a result, the Kashmiri youths in Britain are losing their cultural roots very fast and they are suffering from a cultural identity crisis. This situation is being exploited by the British state to marginalise the Kashmiri community and criminalise the Kashmiri youths for being Asian-Black and for being Muslims.
5 We believe that there is a correlation between the Bharati and Pakistani forced occupation of Kashmir and the marginalisation of the Kashmiri community in Britain. Therefore, our struggle for an Azad aur Muttahida Kashmir in Britain serves both political aspects of our community. It provides us a sense of cultural identity having roots in Kashmir and a political direction to find our position in British society as a Kashmiri community. We also believe that the British government is preserving the barriers of blocking the development of the Kashmiri community in Britain by not recognising us as a distinctive ethnic group. This policy of British state is in consistence with what it did to Kashmir in 1947/8/9. The successive British governments cannot avoid their responsibility by seeking their role as a mediator in Kashmir dispute. Historically, the role of the British state in Kashmir dispute is not as a mediator but as a party to it and as a leading party for bringing about the division and annexation of Kashmir. The forced division and the forced Bharati and Pakistani occupation of Kashmir is the direct result of a military plan against the Azad Kashmir Movement hatched by the representatives of the British Crown in India in 1947/8. The British government of the time also played a key role in misusing of the United Nations for legitimising the annexation of Kashmir in the name of accession. We do not accept any claim that suggests Kashmir dispute as a dispute between Bharat and Pakistan. There is no legal, democratic, constitutional or historical ground to make this claim. Bharat and Pakistan, or any other country of the world, has no any right to impose their will on the people of Kashmir. In fact, Kashmir dispute is, on the one hand, a dispute between the ruling classes of Bharat and the people of Kashmir because the ruling classes of Bharat are occupying Bharati Occupied Kashmir without having any legal, constitutional, or democratic ground; and, the Kashmir dispute is also, on the other hand, a dispute between the ruling classes of Pakistan and the people of Kashmir because the ruling classes of Pakistan are occupying both parts of Pakistani Occupied Kashmir – Pakistani Occupied Northern Kashmir and Pakistani Occupied Southern Kashmir without having any justifiable ground. We, the British Kashmiris, hold British state responsible for the forced division, forced Bharati and Pakistani occupation of Kashmir and for misleading the United Nations on the Kashmir question. Therefore, we demand that the British government must recognise us as a distinctive ethnic group and the British government also must move a new resolution in the United Nations for having United Nations record on Kashmir rectified and the rights of the Kashmiri people to their sovereignty, independence and the territorial integrity of Kashmir recognised. From today, this will be our goal for our struggle in British politics and we will use this goal as a benchmark to judge the friends and foes of the Kashmiri people.
