Kashmir:Caught in the Crossfire

A few clips from the documentary can also be viewed on the Youtube - mykasheer channel

FRIENDS OF KASHMIR (LONDON): A 33-minute documentary on Kashmir depicting a fascinating history of the Valley and the current situation in the State  has been produced by Siraj Shah, a born Kashmiri who is a medical practitioner in the UK for the last 34 years.

The first part of the film focuses on the historical facts since 1947 with moving images and historical footage. It also depicts the rich pluralistic traditions of Kashmir laying emphasis on Kashmir’s centuries old unique culture of brotherhood and religious tolerance.

In its second part the film reveals beautiful landscape of Jammu and Kashmir and the devastating effects of insurgency and counter-insurgency operations on the state since 1989.

The film ends with graphic reminder of a quotation by Martin Luther King, “if we assume that mankind has a right to survive then we must find an alternative to war and destruction in our day of space vehicles and guided ballistic missiles the choice is either non-violence or non-existence”
