December 15th 2007 saw the death of young Zahoor Ahmad Mir at the hands of the police in Magam, Kashmir. This is not news in Kashmir. Young men are killed every day - militants, civilians, victims of encounters, policemen and others.
Zahoor was killed when police opened fire on a protest demanding the government create a college in Magam.
Inhuman, absurd and bizarre.
Again, this is not news in Kashmir. Kashmiris remember how, in the past, protests against electric supply shortages have ended with loss of life. Kashmir ranks among the many parts of the world where life goes cheap.
The inhuman, absurd and bizarre is not news in Kashmir. What can be more inhuman, absurd and bizarre.
