A Forgotten People- Kashmir

Everyone loves an underdog, and everyone loves an underdog that’s been consistently suppressed by an evil power-based entity. Any honest-to-god anti-nationalist would agree that the government is by far the most apt example of that sort of entity, hushing up controversies, favouring corporations, threatening minorities, the works. No story fits these two sets of circumstances- the underdog situation and the tyrannical government-much better than the Kashmir conflict, a story fully equipped with its own cast of characters across generations- traitors, tyrants, revolutionaries, puppets and villains. What makes the story even better, is that the characters interchange roles as you move from one narrator to the next- what you’ve been passionately taught in school is very likely to be passionately contradicted in another’s, as is the nature of most of these sort of stories.
