Kashmir – An 18-Month-Old Victim in a Very Old Fight

“There were people dying everywhere getting massacred in every town and village, there were people being picked up and thrown into dark jails in unknown parts, there were dungeons in the city where hundreds of young men were kept in heavy chains and from where many never emerged alive, there were thousands who had disappeared leaving behind women with photographs and perennial waiting ,there were multitudes of dead bodies on the roads, in hospital beds, in fresh martyrs’ graveyards and scattered casually on the snow of mindless borders.” An Excerpt from the book “The Collaborator” describing Indian atrocities in the Indian occupied Kashmir, written by Mirza Waheed, a Kashmiri writer.
