Indian army did that??

The Kunan-Poshpora incident refers to an alleged mass rape that occurred on the night of February 23, 1991, in the twin villages of Kunan and Poshpora in the Kupwara district of Kashmir. It remains one of the most controversial and tragic incidents in the Kashmir conflict.

What Allegedly Happened:

• During a cordon-and-search operation (CASO) conducted by the 4th Rajputana Rifles of the Indian Army, at least 23 women, aged between 13 and 80, claimed they were gang-raped by soldiers.
• Villagers alleged that the men were taken outside, houses were searched, and women were assaulted inside.
• The number of victims, according to some local sources and later activists, could be much higher, even up to 40 or more.

Immediate Response:

• The incident was reported by local media and a First Information Report (FIR) was filed by the police.
• A press council of India (PCI) team led by B.G. Verghese dismissed the allegations, calling them “grossly exaggerated.”
• Human rights organizations, including Amnesty International, criticized the investigation as a cover-up and called for an impartial probe.

Controversy and Reinvestigation:

• Over time, the case became a symbol of sexual violence in conflict zones and state impunity.
• In 2011, the Jammu and Kashmir State Human Rights Commission (SHRC) recommended the case be reopened and compensation paid to the victims.
• In 2013, 39 women petitioned the Kupwara Sessions Court for a reinvestigation.
• Despite continued activism, no Indian soldier has ever been charged or tried in connection with the case.

Legacy:

• The Kunan-Poshpora incident is remembered each year on February 23 as a day of resistance against sexual violence in conflict.
• It remains deeply etched in Kashmiri memory and is frequently cited in discussions on military impunity under laws like the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA).
• In India, it remains politically and socially divisive, with demands for justice often met with official silence or skepticism

Is it possible that terror outfits or something like this did this?

If Indian army had did this then it would be out in news like 1971 pak army rapes.

Ir it could be separatist agenda.

1991 is not medieval, medical involvement would have cleared everything.

One kashmiri mentioned this

Kunan-Poshpora incident where women were raped by army and jammu massacre to and said our dislike for the government are due to these incidents. Your take on this?

Let's assume even if what they accuse of is true then this is also true that army has helped them countless times and saved many lives in natural calamities like floods and also from pak sponsored Terrorism. Why do they only remember the bad but not the good?

India was victim of cross-border terrorism by Pakistan. Israel-Palestine on the other hand has got nothing to do with Islamic terrorism - it’s a legitimate land dispute between two groups. And unlike India, Israel is a bully. As bad was the Oct 7th attack, Israel has committed 10 times the atrocities on Palestinians even grabbing 90% of land. No comparison whatsoever.

It's debatable , I agree they have been brutal in their attacks and their approach but still , did they go on offensive first ? ..they attack when they're attacked and they attack hard and don't give up without destroying their opponent , they just don't back out ... ..India and Israel are similar in just one way that their neighbours are rouge ..all 7 of them... all are in disarray ..peaceful solution is impossible

I believe there's one lesson we must learn frm Israel ..even a country like Israel couldn't eliminate hamas frm roots after years of war ..so this fight against terrorism will continue

Toh is case mai what is the best solution according to you? What should be done in case of kashmir?

Kashmir should come permanently under the rule of centre atleast until the situation normalises. Centre should establish colonies for kashmiri pandits with full security and all relevant educational & health establishments etc. People from other states in India should be allowed to buy land and settle in Kashmir. Any incident of locals involved in terrorist activity or even supporting terrorist activity should be dealt with an iron fist.

If it's rape, then no matter what the army will do they will not forget it. That's the truth. But I am having a doubt on this story. 1991 was the time of seperatist movement in kashmir. There has to be something missing from this.

we can agree to disagree. If you ever have the time to look at geography of how tiny Israel is , historical books on references to Jerusalem and its importance and the fact that historically there was no country like Palestine , you might reconsider. Add to that the money recd by Palestine over last few decades that they could have utilized for development instead of arming themselves, you might reconsider your position.

A country acting in defense of its citizens, I have lot of respect for. Especially one that constantly contributes to humanity with its innovations and science and calls India and Indians as its friends.

If you don’t agree - it is fine with me. I hope it is fine with you as well.
