What does a war do to its people? Ten years after Kargil, here's a story of few innocent victims.
It's been 10 years, but Ghulam Rasool is inconsolable. Rasool, a lab technician in Kargil, lost his young son Liyaqat during the Kargil conflict. A budding doctor, Liyaqat, fell victim to the enemy shelling.
Ghulam's wife suffers from chronic depression, and his daughters break down at the slightest mention of their brother.
But Ghulam's family is not alone. Nineteen-year-old Shameen vividly remembers how he hid in a bunker when his school came under attack.
"The teachers took us to a bunker when shelling would go on. We would cry and pray to allah," said Shameem.
Mohd Khan's son studied in the same school too. A caretaker of a guest house, Mohd's house was damaged, but he's yet to get most of the Rs five lakh compensation that was promised to him.
The war didn't just kill the soldiers, but their family, neighbours, destroyed their shops and schools. Ten years have passed but the wounds of the war have still not healed.
