In 2016, protests rocked Kashmir following death of a young militant commander Burhan Muzaffar Wani. Young Wani from south Kashmir’s Tral had become a poster boy of militancy in Kashmir. His videos with gun in the woods attracted many towards the path of militancy. Many believe a tech savvy Wani fought narrative war on social media rather than real combat battle on ground. That year Kashmir saw protests with many young boys filling the Valley’s myriad graveyards that have only mounted in recent decades.
