Why protest?
We, the youth of Kashmir, the future of this beautiful valley are getting killed, injured, baton charged, humiliated and we are being dubbed as “terrorists”. We aren’t a bunch of psychos going on rampage from street to street village to village, still they are trying every measure to defame us. Are the youth of Kashmir fighting for jobs, money, developments or we are just protesting for fun. Why would anyone waste his precious life in fun? Due to curfews and hartals our education is suffering. Economically we are getting weaker, still we are protesting. For God’s sake somebody tell me what has happened to us. It's simple. We are protesting for our honor and dignity. Give us a life we want to live with grace. The rest will follow.
