Kashmiris disheartened, leaders ready for long battle post-special status verdict
5 min read
Following the Indian Supreme court's decision, Kashmiris were greatly disappointed. Whereas once they had some autonomy, India is now working to regard Jammu and Kashmir as an Indian State, fueling popular discontent.
The verdict not only disappointed locals but also pro-India politicians in the region, who urged people to prepare for a prolonged battle to reclaim their "rights politically and peacefully." (Al Mayadeen English; Illustrated by Zeinab El-Hajj)
