Kashmir Solidarity Day, also known as Kashmir Day, is observed in Pakistan on February 5 every year. First proposed by Qazi Hussain Ahmad in 1990, the day serves to provide political and sympathetic support to Kashmiri separatists opposing Indian occupation. The holiday commemorates the ongoing Kashmir conflict, which began in 1947 when India and Pakistan gained independence and subsequently fought over the region, leading to its division between Pakistan and India. The observance highlights the struggles of the Kashmiri people and is celebrated not only in Pakistan but also by the Kashmiri diaspora worldwide. The day reflects the unresolved nature of the Kashmir conflict, which has seen multiple wars and protests over the years.
