This thread! Truly,those months of siege were so damaging politically,economically,socially,mentally,emotionally.We literally had no means of communication,so much so that one couldn't even call an ambulance or fire station if need be. Personally,my parents were on Hajj when the https://twitter.com/Kashmirception/status/1285132632590696448

Article was revoked. My brother& I were alone at home.We couldn't speak to our parents for a month.Not even on Eid.When we went to the airport to pick them up on their arrival,I remember how they cried on seeing us. My father later told us how desperately they tried to establish

contact with us or get to knw about our well-being but failed.All the Kashmiris there had lost all hope thinking abt the bloodbath that must be going on back home.They were skeptical if they would even have a home to return to.He said ppl were actually saying things like "shayad

chakh Kasheeri bombaari karmich" since no news was coming from Kashmir at all.Totally cut off. He said,"we saw people around who were from dif parts of the world.Our hearts would ache when we saw them talking to their loved ones, happy,worry less while we Kashmiris were carrying

the pain of what was happening in our homeland in our hearts.Kashmiris would regularly assemble together and pray for Azaadi&for the occupation to end"
I just hope all the prayers that they made at the holy Kabbah with their broken hearts be fulfilled soon.Death to the occupation
