The Iron Cage
In July, protests erupted in the Kashmir valley after Indian security forces killed the Hizbul Mujahideen commander Burhan Wani. In the past, leaders such as Syed Ali Shah Geelani had exercised strong influence over popular resistance in the valley, and especially over Kashmiri youth.
