Tonight on The Buck Stops Here:

From 'Haider' to Hope? Can the shadow of the gun lift?

From Bandipore, in North Kashmir, once a militant hostpot, we bring you this special report on a man who comes out to vote in a polling booth which was the exact spot where his brother was shot dead by counter-insurgents. Bandipore was home to the infamous renegade Kukka Parrey, recently chronicled in the movie Haider. Now his son and another former militant-turned-counter-insurgent were among the candidates in a district that delivered a 70 percent turn out.

Historic Turnout in J&K: Thaw of democracy in winter of turmoil?

The Buck Stops Here is on the campaign trail in Jammu and Kashmir. From Srinagar tonight, on our special series Mission Kashmir, we debate: does the high voter turnout in the Valley symbolise the thaw of democracy in this winter chill? Will it turn many calculations upside down?
