The Kashmiri separatist movement refers to a political and social movement in the region of Jammu and Kashmir, which seeks greater autonomy or independence from India. This movement has roots in historical, political, and cultural grievances, with various groups advocating for different solutions, including full independence or integration with Pakistan. The conflict intensified after the 1947 partition of British India, leading to several wars between India and Pakistan over the region. The movement has seen various forms of activism, including peaceful protests and armed resistance, and has been met with significant military and political responses from the Indian government.
