Far from being a \u2018victim\u2019, Shaheed Afz<span>al  is actually one of the shining stars of Kashmir resistance. He will  forever remain etched in the memory of Muslims of Kashmir as a defender  of their faith against Indian occupation. In many ways Shaheed Afzal  Guru is the Omar Mukhtar of Kashmir.<br \/> India\u2019s collective conscience  may have been satisfied by martyring Shaheed Guru but it has only  reinvigorated Kashmir resistance.  Shaheed Afzal\u2019s message (Ahle Emaan  ke naam) is a constitution on Kashmir resistance. His understanding of  the dynamics of Kashmir resistance are thought provoking-\u2018the new  generation of Kashmir has rejected Ghandhi-ism and Karzai-ism\u2019. Shaheed  Afzal\u2019s martyrdom will be one of the final nails in India\u2019s coffin. <br \/> Shaheed Guru exemplified the true nature of Kashmir resistance, which  is rooted in resilience, courage and above all unflinching faith in  Islam. Shaheed Guru is an example, resistance icon not only for Muslims  of Kashmir but for the entire Muslim nation. KUSU condemns how a person  like Shaheed Afzal Guru is exploited in the darbars of secularism. <\/p>\n<p> KUSU also pays rich tributes to Shaheed Maqbool Bhat, who rose up at a  time when the resistance movement was at its lowest after Sheikh  Abdullah\u2019s treachery. Along with Shaheed Afzal Guru, Shaheed Maqbool  Bhat is a beacon of light for Kashmir and its resistance. It does not  matter if Shaheed Afzal Guru or Shaheed Maqbool Bhat\u2019s mortal remains  lie behind the enemy lines, for they will always live in the hearts of  Kashmiris and continue to inspire them for all times to come. It is  imperative that Kashmiris strive to achieve the freedom its martyrs  strived for, instead of imploring the fascist Indian state to return  their mortal remains.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kashmir University Students\u2019 Union (KUSU) offers glorious tributes to Shaheed-e-Millat, Mohammad Afzal Guru, on his first martyrdom anniversary.
