- In this episode of the ongoing series on the state of the republic, Harsh Mander speaks with two young Kashmiris, Nasir Khuehami and Yasmin Khan, to discuss the impact of the Pahalgam terror attack on their lives and those of their community. Nasir Khuehami is the National Convenor of the Jammu and Kashmir Students Association, while Yasmin Khan is a journalist with Awaz the Voice.
As news of the attack spread, reports emerged from several parts of the country of Kashmiri students, traders, and workers facing threats, harassment, and, in some cases, physical assaults. The panelists speak of the atmosphere of fear, suspicion, and isolation that has deepened in the wake of the violence. They also reflect on the role of mainstream media in amplifying hostility and hate, which they argue contributes to their marginalization and recent attacks.
Both Nasir and Yasmin share personal accounts of how Kashmiris mourned the terror attack and extended support to those af...

Fair tells Scroll she does not think Operation Sindoor will deter Pakistan from supporting terror. In fact, she predicts, another terror attack is inevitable in the valley. Though India's counter insurgency network is very good, it is impossible to stop every single attack.
Terror groups such as the Lashkar-e-Taiba are not only used in Kashmir but also domestically by the army, says Fair. They do charity work and also combat other forms of internal violence within Pakistan.

The judgment comes as a response to two writ petitions—Pragya Prasun vs. Union of India and Amar Jain vs. Union of India—filed before the Supreme Court, which highlighted the exclusionary nature of the current digital KYC norms.
“My concern was, slowly, it should not spread everywhere where if I have to get a ticket, boarding pass, or cash from an ATM, I’ll have to blink an eye to use that facility,” said Pragya Prasun.
“The fundamental problem with anything that we do in our system is that unless you start involving people with disabilities, as co-creators of the processes, you are going to exclude them forever,” said Amar Jain.
