Summary

The Resistance Front or TRF for short, is an pro-freedom armed/militant organisation working to end the foreign administration and rule in Greater Kashmir from India.

They're a relatively new player on the militant/insurgent/separatist scene in Kashmir compared with older more well known groups. They officially came into being post-5th-August of 2019 as India revoked Article 370 and Kashmir's special status as a autonomous state, however they'd already been in-the-field for longer.

They've proven to be one of the most effective forces, along with PAFF, against the militarily enforced Indian-rule in parts of Greater Kashmir.

Main Objectives

TRF wishes to free the areas of Greater Kashmir under Indian-control, an oppressive and brutal occupation as they've stated, and initiate a plebiscite for the natives of the region to decide as to what their aspirations and choices should be - whether it be full independence, autonomous rule under another state or fully joining Pakistan or India.

Further Information

The Indian-state has proscribed the group as a 'terrorist organisation' and claims that TRF is a rebranded offshoot of the much larger and infamous organisation - LeT (Laskar-e-Taiba). We've found no evidence of this whatsoever, debunking the false claims in an earlier article from 2022.
