Kashmir (IPA: [kaʃmiːr]) is the northernmost geographical region of the Indian subcontinent. Until the mid-19th century, the term "Kashmir" denoted only the Kashmir Valley between the Great Himalayas and the Pir Panjal Range. Today, the term encompasses a larger area that includes the Indian Union Territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, the Pakistani-occupied territories of "Azad" Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan, and the Chinese-administered territories of Aksai Chin and the Trans-Karakoram Tract.

She was kidnapped from the home of her Muslim colleague and taken to an unknown place. People watched silently when she was being abducted for, they believed that she was a Kafir and that she deserved it.

Girija never returned home. Her body was found on the verge of the road and the postmortem revealed that she was gang-raped, and cut into two halves using a mechanical saw while she was still alive. It is also said that it was a carpenter saw.

There are some problems with the title and description of this community. First of all, Kashmir is not a part of India, so the Indian flag should not be displayed in the title. Second, the description falsely claims that Free Kashmir is "occupied" by Pakistan, when in fact it is India that is occupying Kashmir. India's occupation is violent and has made Kashmir one of the most heavily militarized zones in the world.
