Erasing Kashmir: Rebranding an occupation | Echoes

India continues to market Kashmir as paradise on earth. But beneath the tourism campaigns and development projects lies one of the most heavily militarised regions in the world. In this episode of Echoes, we investigate how tourism, censorship, and state-led development have been used to reshape the narrative around Kashmir while obscuring a decades-long occupation. Echoes is a MEE host-led documentary series where Azad Essa travels to uncover overlooked stories, exploring the legacies of empire, the lines of power that shape our world, and the solidarities connecting distant struggles. Each episode tells stories from the margins that cross borders, revealing shared histories and freedoms still being fought for today. Support stories that matter.
