Indian Army's Bloody "Norms" : Kashmir


There had been issues regarding the ownership of Kashmir between India and Pakistan since the partition of India back in 1947. The tension only grows as three wars had been fought since then, and continued violence still exists. On September 13, this issue caused more outrage as pictures of dead bodies being dragged by the Indian Army surfaced on the internet. This death was caused by a 7 hour long battle, in which 3 rebels were killed by the army. While everyone is calling this a "barbaric" act, the Indian Army defends the action by explaining that this procedure is "normal" and is done so as preventive measures against booby traps/explosives attached on their bodies. As there are always arguments from every party defending their own actions, it is difficult to pinpoint what is wrong and right, and thus the unrest continues.
