This is a lovely article about the unsung freedom fighters in Kashmiri history but it’s true everywhere—both in history & in the present—that hundreds of thousands of people have given their lives to & for justice & human freedom. There is no place for cynicism about the human race because it gets us nowhere. Beware the icons since they are often those who have done the least.
