The indian democracy is in shambles at the minute. In Kashmir there are children as young as 19 months being maimed with pellet guns for "unlawful assembly".

    Nah, it's a narrative that has been built around the use of pellet guns and even live ammunition on civilians who are exercising their right to peaceful protest. Surely a 19-month-old cannot be a "Stone pelter"? By creating a war-like hysteria in the country, India gets away with doing absurd things: make people believe they are perpetually at war with someone (Pakistan, the muslims, the illegal immigrants, etc) and you can justify bizarre things like firing at civilians, cow terrorism, etc

      > civilians who are exercising their right to peaceful protest. i dont think so. News reports showed videos of stone pelters

        You're missing the point. There have been people protesting (for good reason, because Kashmir is not a part of India) and using footages of stone pelters to shoot children is the issue I'm talking about.
