What frenzy is this?
Sometimes I wonder what cost of freedom is. How many lives how many generations a community will lose to violence before saying this is not worth it.
Sanjay Kak, a Kashmiri Pandit, in his documentary ‘Jashn-e-Azadi’ captures the cost of violence in Kashmir- for Kashmiris it is a struggle for freedom for Indian soldiers it is a battle for defending India. But for a small piece of lands thousands have lives have been lost over the years and millions lives destroyed.
In November 2007 I wrote this piece on psychological impact that violence is having on Kashmiris and Indian soldiers are not doing any better.
Jashn-e-Azadi is a sad visual ghazal, each story in the documentary is like a sher (couplet) of a ghazal beautiful words but telling a sad tale.
