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.

In April 2025, Indian authorities continued to commit grave human rights violations in Indian-administered Kashmir (IAK). Indian forces killed at least 13 and arbitrarily detained around 4,000 people. Indian authorities continued their campaign of collective punishment through raids and property expropriation, including through the demolition of homes. Indian authorities continued to deny the right to free expression, including through arbitrary detentions for social media expression and the blocking of at least 200 additional social media accounts.

Numerous Kashmiri journalists, human rights defenders, political activists, and dissenters continue to be arbitrarily detained. Emblematic cases include those of human rights defender Khurram Parvez—illegally imprisoned for almost three and a half years (1,273 days), journalist Irfan Mehraj—illegally imprisoned for over two years (789 days) and human rights lawyer Mian Abdul Qayoom—illegally imprisoned for almost 11 months (327 days).
