Jammu and Kashmir is a paradise for the visitors but for civilians, it was converted into hell. Jammu and Kashmir are famous for their natural beauty all over the world. Now, Jammu and Kashmir were converted into fields of war because of a territorial dispute between India and Pakistan. Several times Pakistan try to capture the Indian territory. To protect the territory a large number of military forces are deployed in Jammu and Kashmir just to protect the territory and also protect the civilians from the attack of Pakistan. The real fear of civilians of Jammu and Kashmir is not the attack of Pakistan but the unwarranted arrest, torture, killing, rape by the Security forces. Various activities confront the violation of human rights in Jammu and Kashmir. There are various untold stories about violations of human rights in the valley of Jammu and Kashmir. Due to this violence, several people suffered from the brutal torture of police, security forces, and other militant groups. Thousands of people die under custodial death and their families are unable to get the dead body of the deceased. If we start counting the sufferers of the violence of Jammu and Kashmir, then it reveals an uncountable number. Thousands of people lost their daughter, father, mother, brother, uncle, and loved ones. In this research paper, I will discuss the violation of human rights in the valley and also the case studies. Human rights are the rights that are available to every human being but why civilians of Jammu and Kashmir have been suffering from inhuman behaviour by military forces. They could not enjoy their basic right of freedom of speech and expression, right to education, right to access information, etc. India is a democratic country and J&K is part of the valley. Why there is no democracy on that part because the democracy is survived only where there is dignity and respect of the individual. Every civilian now after the abrogation of the Special status of Jammu and Kashmir hopes for a peaceful life in the valley.
