Kashmir Repression

China is the world’s biggest dictatorship; India, the biggest democracy. I wonder if it feels like that to people in Kashmir? 
 
Wikipedia says:
Human rights abuses in the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir state are an ongoing issue. The abuses range from mass killings, enforced disappearances, torture, rape and sexual abuse to political repression and suppression of freedom of speech. The Indian Army, Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), Border Security Personnel (BSF) and various separatist militant groups have been accused and held accountable for committing severe human rights abuses against Kashmiri civilians.”
