The Himalayan mountains know best what happened on the cold dark night of February 23, 1991, deep in the Kashmir valley
Kunan and Poshpora in the India-administered Kashmir valley were raided that night by more than 300 personnel of the Indian army.

As many as 150 girls and women were raped that night; nearly 200 men were tortured. Barns became torture chambers. The next morning, as one can well imagine, was marked by immense horror and paralyzing pain.
And yet, justice is elusive over all these years, as the Indian army has continued to exercise barbarism and has enjoyed complete impunity. <br>

during the operations. They smelled of liquor. They tore the women’s Pherans (long traditional gowns worn over the clothes). They pulled down their trousers and raped them. While raping them they continued to consume liquor.

Many of the men who had suffered torture, including beatings and electric shocks to their genitalia — had also died.

TM Shah details another of incident’s account by one 60-year-old widow, Soldiers enter the house, put the gun at the temple of my father and tie up the younger men. They demand food and after consuming it, they hold the hand of the most beautiful daughter in front of the parents
And rape them in the other room.
