Just a regular reminder that it is not helpful, useful, nor ethical to revere nation-states (including one's own) when considering matters of human dignity.

One final call for Kashmiri video producers: We urgently need some video footage showing the beautiful scenes of Kashmir nature, or some scenes from Kashmiri daily life without logo and copyright issues. If you have, pls send send them to my email at: [email protected]

Journalist and editor @QaziShibli has been detained in Srinagar following a lengthy interrogation by cyber police. In 2019, he was held in prison for nine months without trial for posting about troop movements on Twitter. #JournalismIsNotACrime #FreeQaziShibli #ReleaseQaziShibli

This past Monday (13 April), we created Pe'nd Online on FB, and today we had our first live discussion on Covid-19 with four doctors (two from NHS UK, two from Kashmir). Got a very good response. 14K people reached. 6K engagements. Will have more such sessions in coming weeks.

A lot of the TV news media in India has for long time been what might be described as the ‘idiot box of prejudice’. It’s woefully tethered to ratings. A big crisis such as this has just revealed its most hideous face.

If the pictures of dead children on both sides of #Kashmir don't shake you, I don't know what will. Think about the unbearable pain of their mothers. No parent should suffer such loss, such pain. Dont let more Kashmiris die. End this war!

A talented young photographer from my town, Amir Bhat, has taken this beautiful picture. It appealed to me like no other picture so far. I don't know why, may be Benjamin or Sontag can explain this feeling. #Kashmir

If you like your medieval towns full of exotic charms, a quick detour into the Martyr’s Graveyard...could get you face-to-face with lots of Arabesque gravestones. You must recite Rumi here. I wrote in praise of European, other diplomats visiting Kashmir~ theguardian.com/commentisfre…

Yesterday marks 200 days since the Indian government imposed a crippling security and communications lockdown in the Muslim-majority region of Kashmir. From the archive, read this report on the region's history of violent policing. #KashmirLockdown newint.org/features/2019/06/…

I misplaced my DSLR kit at Shaheen Bagh today. I was exasperated & looking all over for it. Soon, they announced it on the loudspeaker & a group of men handed it to me. They had seen me with the camera earlier & were looking all over for me. (1/2)

A dear friend (Kashmiri, Muslim and a journalist) is not being able to rent a place in Delhi because of the obvious reasons. If you know of a non-bigoted landlord, please help? He is looking for a room in a shared apartment in South Delhi. Budget: Up to 20k/month.

Journalists in #Kashmir are taking up manual labor jobs due to the internet ban over 4 months. This @KashmirLife story by Umar Khurshid is a reminder of how little we have done for ppl from Kashmir to get to tell their stories. The ones parachute reporters will never find.

18 weeks of working with the bare minimum internet connectivity in a cramped & cold government media facility in Kashmir. Thank you for the outrage, fellow reporters. Perhaps you will empathise when you have to travel to a government centre to be able to read the morning papers.
