    How active is the armed resistance in Srinagar today?

      nah. its not even clear these days. people disappear and next time they are "killed in an encounter". https://thekashmirwalla.com/2021/07/in-kulgam-gunfight-family-says-son-killed-outside-home-wasnt-militant-police-denies/ https://thekashmirwalla.com/2021/07/in-kulgam-gunfight-famil... just a few days ago this kid was killed, heck his throat was first slit. the police say he joined militancy on 18th june but locals say he played cricket and scored runs on 28th of june so who knows. then you have multiple times when the army and the police was found to have conducted fake encounters where they killed innocent civilians in the name of getting prize money. few week ago there was the grenade attack in srinagar but that was immediately after the all party meeting with the drone attack that caused another stir.locals belive these are diversionary tactics.

    Well sure, it's obviously compromised there is no point in writing that.
    - 2Gkashmiri 5y ago
      oh there definitely is. You see, when you talk about activism and taking a stand which is usually cried on online forums or even on the streets, people assume the police would obey the spirit of the law. Remember what happened to occupy wall street protestors? same thing. if you are against the establishment in this part of the world, you are a target and a dead man. heck, last year a lawyer was murdered when guys entered his home and killed him. they left and no one was found. this guy had been critical of powerful people so they took him out

        I would argue that since snowden, assange, manning...oh and let's not forget bezos, just a completely un-informed and un-intersted person would not know that.
