A 16-year-old girl was among three people who died in Kashmir on
Friday, after security forces opened fire at stone-throwing
protesters. India's army says that it's "investigating" the deaths of
the three civilians, but says that they had to resort to controlled
firing after a patrol unit was attacked by a crowd of nearly 500
people. In a statement, the army that soldiers were injured from
terrorist gunfire.
Mobile internet services have been suspended in the entire Kashmir
Valley, over fears that of widespread unrest, particularly as July 8
is the two-year anniversary of the death of Burhan Wani, the commander
of the Kashmir separatist group Hizbul Mujahideen.
Hizbul Mujahideen is a separatist terror group of Muslims demanding
independence for India-governed Kashmir, and that it be permitted to
merge with Pakistan-governed Kashmir, so that all of Kashmir is under
Pakistan control. Hizbul Mujahideen was formed in 1989, funded by
Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency. It's been very
popular in Kashmir, with thousands of anti-India protesters as
members, and is demanding that Kashmir be separated from India and
made part of Pakistan. New Delhi TV and India Times and The Independent (Bangladesh) and Hindustan Times

**** Violence sparked by death of Burhan Wani continues to grow
****
The death of Burhan Wani on July 8, 2016, triggered a major surge in
violence that lasted throughout the summer and then into the fall,
resulting in the deaths of 80 people. The violence ebbed only when
the cold of winter set in. Then the violence began again in summer
2017, continuing into the winter.
The violence has been greater so far this year. Since January this
year, 210 people including 58 civilians, over 104 militants, and 48
security forces personnel have been killed in the Valley in different
incidents of violence.
There's also been a change in the membership of the separatist
groups in the last two years. In the past, the members of
the separatist groups had infiltrated from the Pakistan-governed
side of Kashmir, but recently young people from India-government
Kashmir have been announcing their joining the militants on
social media, with pictures of themselves holding guns.
On May 25 of this year, Shamsul Haq Mengnoo, 25, the younger brother
of a police officer, announced on social media that he had joined
Hizbul Mujahideen. Shamsul is the fourth highly-educated youth to
join militant ranks this year, and the 50th youth to join altogether.
On Sunday alone, the anniversary of Wani Burhan's death, over a dozen
newly recruited militants posted pictures on social media.
From the point of view of Generational Dynamics, Kashmir is replaying
previous generations of violence according to a fairly standard
template. India's previous two generational crisis wars were India's
1857 Rebellion, which pitted Hindu nationalists against British
colonists, and the 1947 Partition War, one of the bloodiest wars of
the 20th century, pitting Hindus versus Muslims, following the
partitioning of the Indian subcontinent into India and Pakistan.
Now, as the survivors of the 1947 Partition War have almost all died
off, leaving behind younger generations with no fear of repeating past
disasters, Kashmir is repeating the violence of 1857 and 1947.
As the weather has warmed in the last few weeks, the violence has been
increasing. Generational Dynamics predicts that Kashmir is returning
to full-scale war, re-fighting the extremely bloody partition war of
1947. Tribune India and First Post (India) and CNBC (5-July)
