'Just like Gaza is resisting Israel, we will fight for our motherland with all our might.' Mufeed, a resident of a small civilian enclave in disputed Kashmir which became the heart of anti-India protests
Soura, a crammed lakeside community of more than 2,000 homes, is surrounded by troops on three sides.
Every night, residents march through its narrow lanes, carrying torches and passing graffiti with the words "Freedom for Kashmir" and "Go India, go back".Police forces, who have deployed drones and helicopters, tried to enter Soura at least three times but were pushed back by stone-throwing youth, some also armed with axes and harpoons.
Soura has long been part of restive Kashmir's history since the region was divided between India and Pakistan after independence from the British in 1947. His National Conference party –– which has fought for more autonomy while being under Indian rule –– ran the state for more than three decades, with his son Farooq Abdullah and grandson Omar Abdullah becoming chief ministers.This picture taken on August 16, 2019, shows a poster of Kashmiri youth Usiab Ahmad, who died from drowning on August 5 after an alleged encounter with Indian government forces, near the Asar Shareef Jenab Saheb Mosque in the Soura locality of Srinagar.
