300 fighters facing the 500000 strong armed indian forces the insurgency in jammu 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 in 2 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. setting up an apple but i don't know what was made up of a moment but i think you have got what i think you know i did ask about the r.p.
9:33 pm
if you got to fight poverty or fighting to get. into a war in southern kashmir residents remember february 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 war 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. also 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
9:34 pm
a month and then he turned up with some photographs. 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. but i think it all started after he attended a political rally. that. the army arrested him and pushed his head into his own spit. reached him and that anger stayed with him. he felt humiliated that they would do that to him in front of so many people and it was then that's their guy that they're like afterwards he asked again and again why would they humiliate us like that was a guy that. parents had dreams for their children and. tried to raise them right and hope that they'll be successful why did that what happened to him breaks my
9:35 pm
heart but i think i would have done the same if that happened to me and we're all 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'd in retaliation angry young kashmiris threw stones at the soldiers who responded with gunfire and
9:36 pm
tear gas. i. had my back. end of that was to myself but i never. thought about that it was it was i didn't really i am i couldn't get up. let's get god 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 message on to get to work
9:37 pm
on the sunday was yet the only solution if you should the office. hardly anyone dares speak to us on camera they fear what might happen if they do. but one woman does speak up makoto megamix 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 harassing us and destroying our prophecy and soon we'll take up arms and defend ourselves. the women will fight to independence is near god willing inshallah we're ready to make any sacrifice to win our freedom oh my god i think they can i get somebody. 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
9:38 pm
be suppressed. 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 midwives he enjoys great respect. for students doctors decide oh my. god yes i. go on the social media oh it's important. because indian media doesn't really code it so we have used social media in general you know he has 200000 followers online for root has led kashmir's 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
9:39 pm
become you know suicide bomb because we don't want to when you want to get killed you know by like this in fact we want them to live would look but we feel that you know these are acts of desperation you know what is leading these young boys towards militancy this is the big question you know if you look at the stories you follow this story there. you know they're going to have us by the police by the security agencies you know i mean the families have been had us there peyton's their brothers the fact is that today there is anger against the state there's anger against indian policy that 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 off to the agency that that 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 out of this
9:40 pm
thing go ahead and do it. today for who 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 while ations 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 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 for 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 i'll be closed down.
9:41 pm
oh indeed hundreds of people have gathered at the mosque today not only to pray but to hear for troops so many of the situation in kashmir. and i wouldn't you know for years before the authorities have been banning religious organizations i don't know if over and silencing students and moms and politicians say are you are you aren't. or want to see i'm president 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 to for us
9:42 pm
and i'm. not going to solicit 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. and i admire and i would have i was i to outline for roots and frustrated by the thai curfew in srinagar some tried to provoke a confrontation with the police i was
9:43 pm
but officers didn't respond i was i was but this is what can happen when the police do crackdown. was. i 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 arctic i'm covering my face because of the police find
9:44 pm
out i've been talking to foreign reporters about kashmir and get into trouble because i meet ever and through a danger or question that there's so much repression now operate and i was alone here you have you heard about your book idea just to hear. how then it. was for many in kashmir expressing their opinion is dangerous even behind a mask and thick walls. as we move to a different location away from any curious listeners. it is only a tough gun or task and i still reject the use of armed force just because i believe in a peaceful solution to this conflict you know 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 foreign go to us and then i think i have been on a continuous club but with all the curfews have on every week every month. that's impossible that's one of the shutdown this is sort of if you do decide to take up
9:45 pm
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 great 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 the 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
9:46 pm
recently arrested. so do as we do you are at the demonstrations did you throw stones. 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 because on camera you're not interested in that is telling people you care about. them 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 is 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
9:47 pm
we'll be independent controlling our own country and they can't do anything about that. concert 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 self kashmir has organized a community outreach program today he's talking to a group of fathers worried about their children's arrest. but i don't know whether power baez has ties to the radicals but we arrested him. give me more names or no i'm going to show us the motivation will stay in jail any other names. yet as far short of just you know him to ice for us it's the same.
9:48 pm
so softened so i'll tell you straight out the view of the problem mohamed said parents of the shepherds of their children you have to teach them right from wrong until they're adults. did you going to be much going to see. them but if i ask the mirrors father what his son did during the day. and whether he sits down with his parents and talks to the court. you can hear the father said no. how can a father look after a son if he doesn't talk to him it's got. it's got to stop yes 3 young people have ties to the militants. they won't be released we're still questioning them. we haven't beat them. was injured by police in srinagar but we've taken him to a doctor and he's fine now. but since i'm really certain we had a guy we let go he'd only been in jail for 3 months. and what did he do because
9:49 pm
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 have. 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. a special powers act of 1990 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
9:50 pm
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. my heart just sinks when i look at this question. you can see his injuries are never forgot this i was really good if they've arrested him where are they holding him the authority is all 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 mock order 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 will 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.
9:51 pm
now i'll meet you at the pocket take one on the job market. on the 10th of every month parveen a joins with others to remember the 8000 people who've been disappeared in kashmir since 1989. that you write how are you russians i hope you're well how they're going to when you can get it done and. 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. looked to you like your mother. if there's anything i can do for you let me know how much. you're a good boy was. the
9:52 pm
one that i think this is the 2 of us if he's still alive how come back our language every day i think that he's still alive if he is i. hope that god will protect and guide him if not i pray that have you heard of and. go on here in their quest fellows or 299-7001 if i won it would have given hope to august but nothing has happened for 3 decades if you will start his twisted 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.
9:53 pm
some kashmiris now believe that things here are changing. one of them is why he power a leader of the youth wing of the people's democratic party or p.d.p. 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 i feel that i do i 60 percent of kashmir's population is under 30 and what you'd hope that they will vote for his party. not the sun skin but over matter we've announced a number of proposals aimed at helping young people but what is everyone talking about the the say that there were the latest suicide bombing and how it's brought india and pakistan to the brink of an atomic war going to war without political.
9:54 pm
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 you know a lot of people. aspire for freedom given the history of the conflict but people like us who are in the mainstream to monitor the process we see solutions forward in the sauder and develop it should be more democratic speech to the kashmiris and i would identity should be like the should be subduction is a me that's the beautiful nice attach of your knowledge that's 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 thought on identity. in the previous indian parliamentary elections the turnout in some parts of kashmir was dismal enough if kashmiris are serious about embracing democracy that will have to change.
