Encyclopedia > Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front

The Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF), founded by Dr. Amanullah Khan is an Kashmiri terrorist organization that seeks the liberation of the Indian and Pakistani segments of the former Dogra kingdom of Jammu & Kashmir as it existed upto August 1947. This article contains information that has not been verified and thus might not be reliable. ... Jammu and Kashmir is a historic state in Asia which is currently disputed between India, Pakistan, and to a lesser extent, China. ... August is the eighth month of the year in the Gregorian Calendar and one of seven Gregorian months with the length of 31 days. ... 1947 (MCMXLVII) was a common year starting on Wednesday (link will take you to calendar). ...


Unlike other organizations and people seeking an end to Indian rule over Kashmir, Amanullah Khan's group is not Islamist but is secularist and nationalist, and opposes merger of the territories into Pakistan, for which Pakistan seeks to suppress this group. This article concerns secularism, the exclusion of religion and supernatural beliefs. ... Nationalism is an ideology that creates and sustains a nation as a concept of a common identity for groups of humans. ...


Pakistan sponsored an attempt to overthrow Amanullah Khan's leadership of the organization by utilizing one of its leaders, Yasin Malik, resulting in its split into two rival factions, Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (Amanullah Khan) & Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (Yasin Malik).


In recent years, Yasin Malik has risen to greater prominence than Amanullah Khan.
