Why did the residents of a small Kashmiri suburb barricaded themselves in, cutting the neighbourhood off from the rest of the disputed region, which itself remains cut off from the rest of the world?
Amid a strict military curfew and communication blockade, the first signs of Kashmir's refusal to accept India's recent decision to remove its constitutional autonomy came from a small suburb outside the Srinagar city on August 9.
Inside the barricaded enclave on the afternoon of August 16, men, women and children were scattered in groups, joking while maintaining a fixed gaze on the entry and exit points. Women of Jenab Sahib neighbourhood continue to protest against the Indian rule in alleys, while their men guard the neighbourhood frontiers and keep the police at bay.
To avoid police reprisals, the residents of Jenab Sahib barricaded themselves in, cutting the neighbourhood off from the rest of the city, which itself remains cut off from the rest of the world. "Unless I go to sleep, he wouldn't sleep. You tell me how I can sleep in such a situation where our entire village is under siege?” she said.
