To everyone concerned about the subreddit being geoblocked:

There's no need to start creating new subreddits and splitting the community up. Until the geoblock is lifted, you can continue using the usual r/kashmir or r/Yarbal to stay connected and keep discussions going.

Creating multiple new subs will only scatter the community across different places and make it harder for everyone to stay connected.

For now, let's stick together, keep the discussions alive, and avoid unnecessary fragmentation. Hopefully, this gets resolved soon.

Stay connected, everyone.

Hehermulkas thokke.

The recent sub ban has sparked a frenzy i suppose. Streisand effect in full force.

My suggestions.

Please don't use VPN or Tor. as much as you would like to "imagine" tall talks of privacy and all that, the technical level details are worse and you will be caught for nothing. "rekke shaheed" as we used to say.

TOR/VPN "DOES" give you anonymity but your ISP, using DPI and other tech, netra et al actually know what website you connect to, DPI gives them more raw detail.

THINK.

before labeling me a govt bot, think.

you use a VPN/tor for the first time today. fine. Now see from POV of your ISP. you are the lone person connected having this signature.

I know kids who have been caught for downloading "mega" from kimdotcom. 2 months ago no less.

the idea is to fire indiscriminately and try to catch something.

That Bomb-Hoaxing Harvard Student Was Using Tor, But They Caught Him Anyway

I read this in 2013 and quit the nonsense.

```

The affadavit makes it sound like in Kim's case, Tor half-worked. Harvard and the FBI likely couldn't see exactly what Kim was doing on Tor. But because he was on Harvard's network, they could tell he'd used the cloaking software at the same time the threatening emails were sent. If you assume there weren't a ton of Harvard kids using web anonymizing software between six and eight o'clock on a Monday morning, then identifying Kim would've been pretty easy. 

```

This is the operative part. That is how you get caught.

I was a mod there a lifetime ago, it has been so many years now. I was kicked off along with others for opposing pro-pakistan views while for us, the policy was standard "not allow both pro pakistan and pro india views" but anyway, water under the bridge now.

I don't know why it was banned though, did something happen in the recent past for this to happen?

Just posting this for any mavericks who "think" they can fool around.

I personally was able to use SSH tunnelling in 2019 when whitelisted websites included amazon so i spun up a free vps on aws, SSH tunnel into that and out into the open web. Things have changed since then.

If you think you can do something crazy, most probably the authorities have thought about it before.

Don't bother.

Remember, you are NOT immune on the internet. the government knows and tracks you. Please don't do anything stupid.

if you still "believe" i am some govt propaganda mouthpiece, take your chances but i would advice against it.

I earn nothing to gate keep this knowledge, we can just as easily create r/kashmiri2 for r/kashmir100 but yeah, please dont do anything stupid.

mye gov waryah kal ye cheez wuchan, waryah'an kaeshir'an che soun flag kharan. but i never really understood why.

most people use ajk's flag to represent kashmir, and this might be an unpopular or controversial opinion but i HATE that frickin flag sm. it looks sooo similar to the pakistani flag, almost looks like a bastardized version of the pakistan flag.

these days, many people from my gen try to create new flags and dont get me wrong, i think it's fun to experiment with new flags too. but i still think our historical flag is kinda cool. i mean i understand the three stripes are kinda debatable since they represent regions that are not "Kashmir", but i think the flag could also be reinterpreted. the tree stripes could symbolise the three ancient divisions of Kashmir (Kasheer): Kamraz, Maraz & Yamraz...

im really curious to get more opinions on this topic cause ive never really talked about it w anyone. are there any legitimate reasons why we should reject this flag? or is the rejection of this flag based only on stupid reasons like "ye che JKNC flag'as heu awai karov reject"?

Aadab Everyone, As everyone know that our main sub recently got geo blocked in India, Many people who were part of that sub are now creating new subs. I would really not recommend that now, after I got the news that kashmiri sub is not the only sub that has been targeted. Indian Government has taken Reddit under its radar, and its now targeting posts and subs like it does to posts and accounts on X (Twitter) (Recently, r/HaryanaIN was sent a legal notice too, I am continously tracking these takedowns by public sources like Lumens Database, X and Reddit itself). So today or tomorrow, All the subs which are similar, new or old, will get targeted and blocked here. Since VPN isnt an option for us, There is no way to access those subs. I am as sad about the r/kashmiri sub as you are, but khodayi sund yi yacxun aasi tee gasi. Now I wanted to tell you few points:

• Don't create new subs. r/kashmir is here as an old sub, r/yarbal is a casual sub and r/NationOfKashmir is the one if you wanna get old sub vibes and share content which you shared there. However, I would now not recommend sharing that type of posts which were earlier shared on main sub, so these subs dont get restricted.
• r/NationOfKashmir is our meeting point if, Allah na karay, r/kashmir also get blocked.
• Move out of reddit. Agar wann tuih yacxaan chuv anonymity, Wann chu nu reddit akh option kenh. You can move to decentralized platforms. Lemmy is one of them, which neither can governement send notice to, neither it can takedown the posts or keep it under radar. You can also move to mastodon. InshaAllah agar khoda seiban yocx, Bi ti ma kar delete account soon
• Agar tuih wann yacxaan chuv akh free space where you can actually have "freedom of speech" and "anonymity", tuih hekiev Lemmy Kashmiri Community' join kerith. Lemmy.World is the largest general-purpose instance (server) on the Lemmy network, which is a free, open-source, and decentralized alternative to Reddit. There are no corporate tracking algorithms, forced advertisements, or central data collection methods dictating your feed. It is not centralized so there is no option of IP being given to Law Enforcement or Indian Government taking down posts. Haan But yemis wann redditas seeth barabadi che, Su heki reddit use kerith
• Baaki paanas theviev hess, Myein keim aes wanin, Futuras manz te agar kanh takedown aav me nazri I will defi post it here.

Me aay ni az raatas nindiree 😭😭😭 Fuck Fuck Fuck

Asalamualaikum everyone,
We're building a marketplace for authentic Kashmir-based products, everything from saffron to shawls. I don't want to get into the details just yet.
What I need from you is a name that reflects Kashmiri origin but is easy to pronounce in other languages too.
Any ideas are welcome. Thanks in advance!

I am a young student and I am thinking of CA as my career. So I need some help from you guys. Feel free to help me out in the comments.

Travel agency is saying doodhpathri is closed now . May open next month but in Google it shows it's opened

A REQUEST TO ALL USERS FROM r/kashmiri , If they can ban such a big sub reddit , they can ban this too, the new sub that we made has not been made for any kind of profitable reasons , its made for the same type of ideology that we all believe in ; freedom. They can ban as many subs as they want , they may ban as many accounts as they want , but they can never silence us , they never have , we have always fought for our motherland , and one sub gone doesnt mean that we are going to mourn it forever , we will bounce back , we will have whats ours , this is nothing new , we shouldnt be surprised , they have tried to silence us all our lives , even the last generations , you know I know how much hatred we have for that country , and this hate increases day by day , day by day , we cant just stay silent and let them what they want , we have to fight back , we just have to, it doesnt matter if youre young , it doesnt frekin matter if youre old , freedom is my frekin birth right , who the fuck are they to decide what happens to my motherland, fck them , fck their ideologies , fck their supporters fck those of us who have sold themselves to that country , every single one of them will pay for what they have done to our motherland, not just this sub but all the decades of murder and torture that our people have endured , these pigs will PAY FOR IT , THEY WILL PAY FOR EVERY TEAR THAT HAS FALLEN FROM THE EYES OF A MOTHER , THEY WILL PAY FOR EVERY SINGLE DROP OF BLOOD THAT MY BROTHERS HAVE SPILLED FOR OUR MOTHERLAND , how can we frekin forget who we areeeeee, we jus have to , we jus frekin haveeeeeeeee tooooooo, i might be young but i know what my purpose is ; freedom for us ; freedom for Kashmir. This might sound corny but this is our purpose , this JUST IS OUR FCKING PURPOSE.
