Emergency?

The whole Kashmir valley has been under curfew for the past three days without a break. 8 people have been killed in police firing over the past 3 days. These deaths are on top of 31 shot from point blank range in the first two weeks of August. The newspapers cannot bring out their print editions. Local television channels have been barred from broadcasting news. This is an emergency like situation. All this because people had come out on the streets to peacefully express their desire to secede from India. India's democracy reached its limit after only 4 public demonstrations in the past two weeks when hundreds of thousands of people came out to demand freedom. Shame.

There are lots of videos on you tube showing the barbaric treatment, meted to the people for seeking freedom, by Indian security forces. Shame.
