In September 2025, Indian authorities continued to commit grave human rights violations in Indian-administered Kashmir (IAK). Indian forces killed at least eleven people and continued their systematic campaigns of mass arbitrary detention (at least 70 new detentions reported), raids and property expropriation. Indian authorities denied funeral rites to the family of Prof. Abdul Ghani Bhat, blocked over 300 additional social media accounts and installed the Ashoka emblem at the Hazratbal mosque/shrine (and detained people who protested). Efforts to criminalize human rights work, erase documentation of violations and impunity and manufacture false history in IAK accelerated, including through the publication and promotion of a propagandistic attack on landmark human rights work on enforced disappearances and unmarked graves in IAK.

Goodwill as Bad Faith: Unmasking Operation Sadbhavana in Jammu & Kashmir analyzes India's "winning hearts and minds" military strategy dubbed Operation Sadbhavan ("Goodwill") deployed in Indian-administered Kashmir. The analysis works from a recent, emblematic case -- the implementation of that strategy beginning in January 2024 in Topa Pir, Poonch after nine men from the village were arbitrarily detained and tortured by the Indian military in December 2023.  The Indian military killed three of the victims. The analysis demonstrates that rather than provide actual goodwill, Operation Sadbhavana serves to facilitate and further international crimes and violations in Indian-administered Kashmir.
