Kashmir Solidarity Day: Academia warns of dangers to regional peace if issue remains unsolved

Lahore

LAHORE:On the Kashmir Solidarity Day [February 5], a resolution titled ‘Regional security threats anticipation’ is set forth to be adopted by the academic and socio-cultural hierarchies across the globe, according to a press release, issued by the Asia-Oceania Postdoctoral Academia (AOPDA) on Saturday.

Presented by the international postdoctoral community, the resolution is intended to ignite the global politico-cultural and socio-racial vigilance on the systematic, decades-long prevalence, which has been plotted by one of the major players of the present-day international politics. The resolution calls for everyone to have a thorough, judicious and methodological overview of the situation, and, at the same time, urges the UN, the SAARC and other global stakeholders to come forward, take the issue seriously and make some meaningful considerations in order to ensure preventive measures.

The resolution marks the Day by calling for a conceptual as well as cautionary frame, which must deal with the potential as well as emergent dangers to the South Asia regional security. These dangers stand on verge of yielding an anarchically structured mechanism, along with inter- as well as intra-regional security complexity – over and above the serious situational concerns henceforth, notes the resolution.

The release said that it is now clear to everyone that India has been responsible for the current plight of Kashmiris. When viewed from the core of the fact, the issue seems to be linked to ‘Pre-cold war patterns’, in their very bi-faceted nature – at least at every single level of South Asian region’s security stakes.

“The ‘2023’s resolution of regional security threats anticipation’ hereby invites the global observant eye to analyse, interpret and anticipate the linear proceedings in Indian Occupied Kashmir. The intermittent occurrences clearly provide and reflect the nuanced view of the strongly masked so-called political ‘simplification’ of the idea and grand design behind the over-arching agenda of bi-faceted ‘unipolarity’ and the ‘centre-periphery’, backed and fuelled by the linear tendency of its perpetuation at larger scales of the regional level,” said the release.

Complimentary to the main agenda is the historical leverage against Pakistan, being constantly utilised by India since 1948, in order to divert the global attention from the actual proceedings and the nefarious designs beneath. Perpetuation of the linear anarchical structure, coupled with the ethno-geographical complexity, provides almost all major sub-structures to shield against the diplomatic mediating effects at any level. The well-structured decades-long show reflects clearly the systematic dynamics of India’s uni-polarity and centre-periphery, establishing linear tendency which holds fast a number of potential threats that can contractually well overpass and overlap the regional boundaries.

The resolution has been drafted by Prof. Dr. Aurangzeb Hafi, who has long been serving as cross-disciplinary P.I. in different reputed institutions including the Asia-Oceania Postdoctoral Academia (AOPDA).
