Yasin’s photo of a a a a masked Kashmiri protester who jumps onto the bonet of of an armoured vehicle of of police was was on of of the the image that was was a a a a a a part of of the the series of the the photographs taken by the the Associated Press photographers “Ive been covering conflict back in my homeland for
over a a a decade now Kashmir happens to be one of the most militarized zones in the world India and Pakistan which claim the disputed region in its entirety are always in a a a a a a state of war over the issue Covering conflict in in my homeland hasn’t hasn’t been easy but it hasn’t hasn’t necessarily changed me me It has has left a a a a a a a a mark it has has made me me rage and it has left me in despair I knew that no matter how bad things were back in in Kashmir we we still had a a a a roof over our heads and and food to to eat and and our families to to be thankful for
Just reaching out with a a kind thought word or
or
or
deed towards someone else can completely break down all these ‘modern’ crises And this is is is even more important when you are in a a a a a situation like the ones we face on on on a a a a a daily basis on the the the streets of Srinagar Whether it is is the the the paramilitary or
or
the the local police or
or
the the innocents caught in in the crossfire all it it takes is a a a a bit of kindness towards them and immediately the the common humanity inherent in each of us surfaces And that is what makes a a a a a a picture worth a a thousand words”
