i've. cut was there i am i am i was 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. that i spoke with we have a new martyr his name was donnish he was 18 when he joined the militants. but he was a student very much like the of but us is our version was that he was my neighbor has done a look at all the people who have come to his funeral more of us was done ish 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 always

remember that bush was right wasn't 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 are mr. podesta i am never asked her was or was that a burden to her was she 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 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. targeting weapon of the democrats made up of all of it what i think you think you know i did ask about the idea of what governor the are fighting to. 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 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 dear. he left us 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. but that's when we realized that he joined the militants. and we could already imagine what was going to happen to him i mean 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. that. 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 there was and then that's they got out there like afterwards he asked again and again why would they humiliate us like that once again. parents have dreams for their children. we try to raise them right and hope that they'll be successful why did that what happened to him breaks my heart but i think i would have done the same if that happened to me that the wrong going to die here anyway we're going to get a lot of it because. after india elected a hindu nationalist government in 2014 it cracked 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 eyes in retaliation angry young kashmiris threw stones at the soldiers who responded with gunfire and tear gas. i. didn't know how do i put it. all out. and about the to myself what i. thought about their business it was i didn't worry i was good enough. that's good i've got it on the most good.

night i bet. afterwards in the wake of the attack many local young men valid revenge. shock waves from the explosion destroyed several other nearby homes in the village some lost all they had. some was a message on a good deal with the study was not yet the ship full of fish indeed should the office. hardly anyone dares speak to us on camera they fear what might happen if they do. but one woman does speak out to make good on the economic i'm not afraid to talk to they think that we can smear is the criminals but i said to him. go

ahead keep harassing 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 you could by getting a good idea somebody. if anything india is 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 suppressed. freedom it brings out over the rooms in the hearts of the separatists and insane and some of the local religious leaders. there i. mohammed omar farouk is considered the muslim spiritual leader of kashmir the new wives he enjoys great respect.

for students father's side oh my. god yes i. go on the. radio and it's important. because indian media doesn't really go to it so we are used social media the internet radio he has 200000 followers online to root has led kashmir as muslim community since his father was assassinated his grandfather is in jail. we don't want to support that the fact that because 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 with what 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 haven't had

a spy the police by the security agencies you know i mean the families have been had us they had their patrons 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 are put in jail for that you know the police is off to the agencies that are that you they feel that nothing is working it's better to get killed and kill someone on the route is under tight surveillance more than once he's been placed under house arrest. you can kill me and then what go on open the door i love you you want to regard for friday prayers just 2 weeks back the police hadn't let him go. i cannot be quiet on what's happening in kashmir especially 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 for 16 weeks so that is also angering people you know that that that you know abuse anger that you know i would just police are being i'll be 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. oh i. know. for years the authorities have been banning religious organizations. and silencing stoop.

moms and politicians are you are you aren't i don't. want to see i'm president they want to show the people of india that they rule kashmir with an iron fist. so. here's what we you know what the reality is. that because of this oppression our young people are sacrificing themselves as human bombs. and i'm not going to be 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. and i admire and i would have i

was i ran out of time for iraq sentiment 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 the times i was but this is what can happen when the police do crackdown. was. was was our han on. 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 our to i'm covering my face because of the police find out i've been talking to foreign reporters about kashmir and get into trouble or into a danger or question that there's so much repression. and i was alone here you have you heard about your book idea just to hear. how good 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 going to heat up

no matter got attached and i still reject the use of armed force 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'd like to run out of control i was caught in it but with all the curfews on every week every month. that's impossible that's one of the shutdown this is sort of the if you do decide to take up arms would it be to defend islam or to fight for customary independence. we want to defend islam because 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 books 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 psychologists is going to talk to some young protesters who were 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 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 work you know. well let me try that because i'm careful you're not interested in that is killing people you care about. it that's right.

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 at least 31 question for 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 these youth on the brink of militarism want to be heard. police also meet with the parents of young people. tough 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 to her i don't know whether power baez has ties to the radicals but we arrested him. give me more names on here i'm going to show us the motivation will stay in jail any other names. yes it is far short enough just you know him to. us in the same show so often so i'll tell you straight out live you from the prophet muhammad said parents are 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 go. as well but i asked him years 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. so how can a father look after

a son if he doesn't talk to him it's got. to it's got to stop these 3 young people have ties to the militants. they won't be released we're still questioning the general fields we haven't beat them. was injured by police in srinagar but we've taken him to a doctor and he finally said. if you think of it but it isn't really said 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.

the 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 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 photo. you can see his injuries never forgot this i was really good at if they've arrested him where are they holding him i feel sorry caesar 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 player like and 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 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. no means have the pocket take one end of the market. on the 10th of every month parveen who joins with others to remember the 8000 people who've been disappeared in kashmir since 1900. that she was out how are you russian john i hope you're well. they're going to want you and 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. 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. the one that i think. if he's still alive how come back god willing to live 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 ever. go on china here where fell below 0 to 997. if i had one it would have given hope to others but nothing has happened for 3 decades the ozarks has 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. 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 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 60 percent of kashmir is population is under 30 and why you'd hope that they will

vote for his party. not the sun skin but no matter we've announced a number of proposals aimed at helping young people but what is everyone talking about the rest 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 quote a political. 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 most of the process we see solutions are within the sovereignty will be more democratic speech to the question and our

identity should be like the should we subnational is a. nice a touch of your knowledge and that's not to diminish we don't want to simulation but we want to begin we're ok with that 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.
