Kashmir’s tragedy has deep origins. Scholarly works and journalistic exercises have dug deep to uncover and investigate the decades of repeated cycles of bloodshed, waves of secession, the entrance of Pakistan-funded terror organisations, and the seething anger among the people. We’ve had accounts depending on the component of the topic they were interested in, as is always the case with complex histories of places and people.

Meanwhile,  Dobaaraa  is scheduled to be released worldwide on August 19.
