The Jammu Kashmir National Students Federation (JKNSF) is a left wing, socialist student organization established in 1966. It is rooted in revolutionary Marxism and the struggle for the self determination of the people of Jammu Kashmir. Since its inception, the organization has taken a principled stand against all forms of imperialist domination. We have consistently opposed both Indian military occupation and Pakistani control over parts of Jammu Kashmir. In opposition to these forms of domination, JKNSF affirms the right of self determination of all nations directly linked to the Jammu Kashmir issue, including the right to secession, and advocate a free, secular, and socialist Jammu Kashmir as part of a broader socialist confederation of South Asia.
Within Jammu Kashmir, JKNSF has always advocated for the restoration of student unions, free education, grassroots democratic rights, and solidarity with the international working class. We are committed to mass mobilization and believe that only through united class struggle can we overthrow systems of oppression, exploitation, and colonial division.
