The Centre made two moves on Kashmir. One they diluted the state.
And revoked its special status too.
Read our pamphlet on Kashmir.
Son, please read this pamphlet on Kashmir.
Have people ever threatened you for doing this?
Yes, it has happened once or twice.
The one who ran to hit me did not argue with me at all.
He snatched these pamphlets from my hands.
Another person stared abusing me. He called me a traitor.
I told him that if telling people the truth about your nation is treachery
then he must change his understanding of nationalism.
Uncle, I don't want to hurt your sentiments but
if we have four children and one is naughty, won't we beat up that child to teach them a lesson?
But son..
We will have to lock up, beat up and teach that child a lesson.
But son, we are talking about 70lakh people. This is not a question of one child alone.
Those 70 lakh people. Out of those only, they pelt stones at our army.
They become terrorists and carry out attacks.
No, this is not true. Yes, it is.
People who are securing our borders are being attacked by them.
If you are our elder and our guardian and have helped in living a secure life,
Now, should we take care of you in your old age or should we abandon you, beat you up?
Please understand, in Kashmir people are not dying because of stone pelting.
Stone pelting is violence. It is wrong.
After pelting stones didn't they attack our Forces?
Please listen.
None of this was done by the people of Kashmir. The attacks in Pathankot and Pulwama were terrorist attacks.
Those terrorists were from Kashmir!
yes, from our Kashmir!
Why do they support Pakistan then? why are they killing Indians?
How do you handle these arguments?
Nothing comes out of these arguments.
We wasted our time with him but its crucial for us to do this.
Don't you feel scared for your life?
There is no threat to my life. I just get abused a lot.
Kashmiris are our own people.
If a decision is being taken about them, they shouldn't be locked up like this.
If a rule or law benefits Kashmiris, why will lock them up?
The rest of the country celebrating. This is of no use.
Kashmir has been militarised since India's independence–what's new?
No. Such restrictions have been imposed for the first time.
If we want change, something must be done.
But if these restrictions would be imposed on us, we wouldn't have liked it!
We impose restrictions on our children also. Those children who are notorious.
If we believe Kashmiris are our own, then forcing them to follow our rules is not right.
No state will like the dilution of their state into a union territory unilaterally.
Please read this pamphlet on Kashmir.
We distribute these pamphlets with hope that people will understand the reality.
Some people are scared to speak out against the restrictions but I'm hopeful they will speak some day.
