The women who have found themselves being part of the collateral damage in the valley include a Kashmiri professor-Hameeda Nayeem, who has been arrested.

People of Kashmir who are in other parts of the countries have no way to reach out to their families and wish them well. At a time when they would have gone back home and celebrated together with their families, they are compelled to stay in ‘safer’ states until the situation calms down.

Are Kashmiri women objects that can be possessed freely by the men now? Do they have no agency in the social narrative that surrounds revoking of Article 370 and 35A?
