we may think our water supplies will last forever. but they won't. when the rain is still. starts march 20th on t.w. . her. i. am i. am i the news travels fast. local residents have come to see the funeral procession for a young man killed in a counterterrorism strike by the indian army i'm not. so sure we have a new martyr his name was don ish he was

a teen when he joined the militants stuff but he was a student for a mission at the world but on the circle that he was my neighbor. the son of look at all the people who have come to his funeral was not done is died on the path of allah the motions are running high. for the same goes for the movement into what you are joe that's why the children are here to look at the edges of our that bush was such for the one receiving their prayers today had spent his last 2 months as a resistance fighter with an armed islamist separatist group alleged to have close ties to pakistan i forgot that you let me step out there. i am i i. i i i i i he was one of not even 300

fighters facing the 500000 strong armed indian forces the insurgency in general and kashmir began in the late 1980 s. but the conflict over this territory goes back much further. kashmir is located in the himalayan mountains and is now considered one of the world's most heavily militarized regions in 1947 the partition of british india into separate countries india and pakistan brought an end to nearly 200 years of colonial rule and left behind the disputed principality of kashmir both newly independent nations laid claim to the territory and fought out war after war over it a demarcation line was established separating the mostly muslim population over the following years kashmiri separatist groups continuously carried out numerous attacks against indian troops including suicide attacks. somebody wipe it out but i don't wish to make up i'm only what i think you have got what i think you know i

did god give you know if you have to offer what dumbledore fighting for you. improve woman in southern kashmir residents remember feb 14th 2019 as if it were yesterday that day a suicide bomber drove a car packed with explosives into a bus carrying indian troops 40 soldiers died india blamed pakistan pakistan denied responsibility more was imminent. the assailant lived in this small quiet village we went to visit his father who makes his living here as a vegetable farmer. or so i write my son's name was a deal. he left just one spring day and 20 minutes. it took off on his bike so we thought he was just going for a ride. he was gone for about

a month and then he turned up and some photographs. well that's when we realized that he joined the militants. and we could already imagine what was going to happen to him. when i think about it now i still get upset about. what drove him to do that. i think it all started after he attended a political rally. and the army arrested him and pushed his head into his own spit. out reached him and that anger stayed with him. he felt humiliated that they would do that to him in front of so many people then once they got out there right afterwards he asked again and again why would they humiliate us like that once again. parents have dreams for their children. to try to raise them right and hope that they'll be successful why did this what happened to him breaks my heart but i think i would

have done the same if that had happened to me at the wrong going to die here anyway we're going to do a lot of good. after india elected a hindu nationalist government in 2014 it crack down hard on kashmiri separatists. this video was shot in a village in northern kashmir just after a militant was reported to be in the area 1000 soldiers were sent him. local residents were ordered to stay indoors. the shooting continued for several hours then the troops blew up a house where the alleged activist was believed to be hiding i got in retaliation angry young kashmiris threw stones at the soldiers who responded with gunfire and tear gas. that i. didn't

know how do i believe. all. kind of i was to myself what. i thought about that this is a moment what was i doing i was good enough. let's get going i mean on the most good. night i think that. afterwards in the wake of the as had many local young men valid revenge. i'm shock waves from the explosion destroyed several other nearby homes in the village some lost all they had. somebody says it's going to get through without

a study was yet the final solution india issued the office. hardly anyone dares speak to us on camera they fear what might happen if they do. but one woman does speak up to make good on the economic i'm not afraid to talk to they think that we can smear is a criminals but such as i said to him. go ahead keep arresting us and destroying our prophecy and soon we'll take up arms and defend ourselves soon the women will fight to independence is near god willing. we are ready to make any sacrifice to win our freedom oh my god i think they can i get my ticket. if anything india's anti terrorism campaign in kashmir has made a lot of enemies. and yet despite the 10s of thousands killed or wounded and the countless destroyed or abandoned homes and villages one word cannot

be surprised. freedom. it rings out over the ruins in the hearts of the separatists and in so many of some of the local religious leaders. i. mohammed omar farouk is considered the muslim spiritual leader of kashmir the new wives he enjoys great respect. for students doctors decide oh. yes i. go on the social media oh it's important. because indian media doesn't really go to it so we have used social media the internet radio he has 200000 followers online for root has led kashmir is muslim community since his father was assassinated his grandfather is in jail. we don't want to support that the fact that we boys should

become you know suicide bomb because we don't want to where you want to get killed you know by like this in fact we want them to live woodward but we feel that you know these are acts of desperation you know what is leading these young boys towards militancy is the big question you know if you look at the stories if you follow their stories. you know and they haven't had us by the police by the security agencies you know i mean the families have been had us their dependents their brothers the fact is that today there is anger against the state because anger against indian policies of oppression and oppression they want to raise posters banners that is banned you can you are put in jail for that you know the police is offering the agency that for you they feel that nothing is working it's better to get killed and kill somebody on the route is under tight surveillance more than once he's been placed under house arrest i don't want you can kill me and then what go on open the door i love you you want to arrest me right now that's

a good thing go ahead and do it. today farouk can travel to the mosque in srinagar for friday prayers just 2 weeks back the police hadn't let him go. i cannot be quiet on what's happening in kashmir specially the human rights violations the killings so probably the government if it doesn't like to you know i'm speaking to people because they want to addition be minimal and gauge when between the leadership and the people. that is the target they don't want people to assemble there and whenever they feel there is anger among the people to lock down the mosque i mean last year in 2018 the mosque was locked down from 4 to 16 weeks so that is also angering people you know that that that you know abuse anger that you know i would just polices are being are being closed down.

oh indeed hundreds of people have gathered at the mosque today not only to pray but to hear for rupe suman on the situation in kashmir. i don't know you know for years before the authorities have been banning religious organizations was it over and silencing students and moms and politicians say our youth are duty voted on or are or was the cia didn't they want to show the people of india that they rule kashmir with an iron fist. here's what we you know what the reality is. because of this oppression our young people are sacrificing themselves as human bombs.

and i'm not going to somebody said they tried to frighten us and intimidate us but they didn't succeed. they don't understand that this is not a struggle of one individual or one political party but the struggle of an entire people who are ready to sacrifice their lives disappeared i admire and i would have i would have died i was i ran out of time for rukhsana and frustrated by the thai curfew in srinagar some tried to provoke a confrontation with the police i was

but officers didn't respond was i was but this is what can happen when the police do crackdown. was. i. i r hahn often takes part in these protests when the friday sermons get out of hand he's a medical student he says he's been arrested and mistreated several times for throwing stones at police. or han is willing to talk to us but only if we agree to protect his identity. we're fighters guarding the artist i was covering my face because of the police

find out i've been talking to foreign reporters about kashmir his and get into trouble because he moved over into a danger or question that there is so much repression they operate and i was alone here you have your murder but your book idea just to hear. how he did it it. was fun many in kashmir expressing their opinion is dangerous even behind a mask and thick walls. kids we move to a different location away from any curious listeners. it is only a thought no matter the gun or path and i still reject the use of armed force just because i believe in a peaceful solution to this conflict peaceful for just me but i don't believe that the authorities are interested in peace and we want to stable future so that we can build a life for ourselves continue our studies or start a career for a good question that i thought you were not a contributor as cotton but with all the curfew us on every week every month. that's impossible that this was one of the shutdown this is sort of if you do

decide to take up arms would it be to defend islam or to fight for kashmiri independence. above all we want to defend islam that's one of the good of our religion teaches us that we should protect our brothers from cruelty to suddenly in light of such injustice it calls for jihad but we also demand a dependence on their coats just remarkable. as the ideology becomes more radical in homes and universities on the streets the indian authorities are taking steps to counter it. the problem is particularly serious in southern kashmir. so the police and that region have put together a team of muslim attorneys and psychologists who are experts on radicalization. today one of the psychologist is going to talk to some young protesters who were

recently arrested. do as we do you are at the demonstrations did you throw stones. i just wondered yes and the cops arrested us did you enjoy throwing stones from the i did the same job did you know that the word jihad really means to overcome your selfish desires. have you ever heard it put that way . but wasn't going to know. whether you tried that got on camera you're not interested in that is killing people you care about. that they actually that's right. other than what if india lets us go do you know how many other countries we're surrounded by still are. sure that bangladesh sri lanka pakistan are just going to look after her what if one of those countries annex as us should we fight them no they wouldn't do that why not.

because we'll be independent controlling our own country and they can't do anything about that. once and still these youth on the brink of militarism want to be heard. police also meet with the parents of young people. tough luck on a district police chief in south kashmir has organized a community outreach program today he's talking to a group of fathers worried about their children's arrest due to her life i don't know whether power baez has ties to the radicals but we arrested him. more names already are going to show us the motivation will stay in jail any other names. yes it is far short enough do you know him to ice us. in the same

sure soften so i'll tell you straight out live you from the prophet muhammad said parents of the shepherds of their children you have to teach them right from wrong until they're adults. going to the market and go. to a symbol is welcome but if i ask them yours father what his son did during the day . and whether he sits down with his parents and talks to them do. you hear that the father said no. so how can a father look after a son if he doesn't talk to him got some good communicator it's got to stop yes 3 young people have ties to the militants but they won't be released we're still questioning them. we haven't. got was injured by police in srinagar but we've taken him to a doctor and he's fine now. but since i'm really should we had a guy we let go he'd only been in jail for 3 months. and what did he do because

he's behind bars again. it happens all the time if we could have talked to him we would have set him straight face she should go to. the indian authorities allowed us to film this meeting because they want to show that the police are taking a new approach to this situation. in the past local residents and human rights organizations have sharply criticized police brutality including beatings extrajudicial executions forced disappearances to. a special powers act of 1900 gives the security forces wide ranging authority to deal with the kashmir insurgency. critics say that these powers include immunity from prosecution lawsuits against the security forces almost always fail

parvenus son was arrested more than 30 years ago and she hasn't heard from him since now she campaigns on behalf of other children who have disappeared. i'm glad it wasn't developed. my heart just sinks when i look at this post. you can see his injuries never forgot this i want you real good if they've been arrested him where are they holding him i feel sorry she's old in this together. and i did why don't they tell us we don't want money we just want to know where our children are playing a player like you might go to there's been so many human rights violations including rapes beatings and murders and. children have been crippled for life and their parents have to take care of them. i'm sick and i read this is what young people have to go through thank you and that's why they're filled with hate they've grown up with this hate.

now i'll meet you at the pocket take one on the top market. on the 10th of every month parveen adjoins with others to remember the 8000 people who've been disappeared in kashmir since 1989. she was at it how are you russian john i hope you're well how they're going to manage and get it done in. time i think there are women here who've lost sons or husbands and children who've lost fathers they've all experienced the painful loss of loved ones. i. look at you like your mother. if there's anything i can do for you let me know how much. you're a good boy was really. there

that i think. if he's still alive how come back god willing every day i pray that he's still alive if he is i. hope that god will protect and guide him if not i pray that harvey for example and. go on here know yet why i felt a little sense in 997. if i had won it would have given hope to others but nothing has happened for 3 decades fuel surcharges twist our statements and invent their own version of what i'm told. so they gather here every month to call attention to their missing family members the authorities allow this protest but little more.

sun kashmiris now believe that things here are changing. one of them is why the power a leader of the youth wing of the people's democratic party or. the p.d.p. believes that the best way to resolve the kashmir conflict is through dialogue and reconciliation. right now he's on his way to meet with a group of young people. that are. 60 percent of kashmir's population is under 30 and why you'd hope that they will vote for his party. line scheme but no matter we've announced a number of proposals aimed at helping young people but what does everyone talking about say that they're the latest suicide bombing and how it's brought india and pakistan to the brink of an atomic war going to war all the.

while he tries to win people over through a persuasive debate rather than violence but the political situation in kashmir is enormously complex so he has to proceed with caution. i think a lot of people. aspire for freedom given the history of the conflict but people like us who are into the mainstream to most of the process we see solutions are within the sovereignty will be more democratic space to the kashmiris and our identity should be like there should be subbed nationalism of kashmir that should be taken as a touch of be acknowledged as not be diminished we don't want to simulation but we want to be good we're ok with the integration but not at the cost of assimilation of our own identity. in the previous indian parliamentary elections the turnout in some parts of kashmir was dismally now if kashmiris are serious about embracing democracy that will have to change.
