Little knowledge

 This refers to the views of Mansoor Ahmad about using safer mode of protests. The views only reflect little knowledge of the author about the ground situation in Kashmir. Stone pelting is the reaction of armless youth who are charged with PSAs for holding peaceful protests. Pertinently, the separatist parties have also reconciled on the issue of stone pelting, but it remains the only means left with the youth to express their anger against the atrocities. So stone pelting is more a form of expression rather than a form of protest in Kashmir.
