Meeting tortured KashmirisDr. Angana Chatterji collected testimony from tortured Kashmiris and reveals detailed techniques in this shocking segment: 4-6 different techniques using water alone were used, people were mutilated, shot, and in one case, hung upside down while petrol was poured down his anus. A traumatized gravedigger, ''couldn't dream in Kashmiri, he couldn't dream at all.'' Peace requires reconciliation, she says, ''healing requires admitting that we've made mistakes...Wouldn't that be a beautiful thing? An invitation to Kashmiris to say let's talk about the last 20 years....let's talk about your vision for a different tomorrow.''
Dr. Angana Chatterji is the Co-convener of a People’s Tribunal in Kashmir, author of Violent Gods: Hindu Nationalism in India's Present, and an Associate Professor of Anthropology at the California Institute of Integral Studies.
