4. Human Rights Record

Documenting the Human Cost

This must be a rigorous, source-led section rather than an emotional statistics page.

Create separate data categories for:

Civilian Deaths Injuries Detentions & Arrests Disappearances Sexual Violence Restrictions on Media & Communication Political Detention Property and Demolition Cases Restrictions on Civil Liberties

For every statistic, the website should show:

Number → Period Covered → Geographic Scope → Source → Last Updated

Where reputable organisations report different figures, present the range or clearly identify the source rather than merging incompatible datasets.

5. People, Leaders & Turning Points

The Individuals Who Shaped the Kashmir Question

Profiles should explain the role of significant political, intellectual, resistance, diplomatic and social figures rather than creating a simple “heroes gallery.”

Profiles may be grouped by:

Kashmiri Political Leadership Intellectual & Religious Figures Diplomatic Figures Human-Rights Voices Historical Personalities

Each profile:

Photograph Name Period Role Why the individual matters Related events and documents

CTA: Explore People & Leadership

6. Maps & Geography

Interactive maps can explain:

  • Jammu & Kashmir before 1947
  • Present areas of administration
  • Line of Control
  • Major cities and districts

  • Important historical locations

Maps should be clearly sourced and carefully labelled, particularly where boundaries or political status are disputed.

  • Major campaigns
  • Conferences
  • Speeches
  • Parliamentary initiatives
  • International advocacy
  • Publications

Keep this separate from the neutral historical explanation of the Kashmir dispute, so readers can distinguish the history of the conflict from Jamaat-e-Islami’s own role and position.
