“I don’t care if I fall as long as someone else picks up my gun and keeps on shooting” these were the words of Che Guevara, but could have just been #BurhanWani’s too. Burhan wasn’t scared of death, he was scared of a life lived in subjugation. He detested it. He lived a free man and died a free man. Doomed is the occupational Indian state, how will you defeat a people who have defeated their own fears? Rest in Power, Burhaan! In complete solidarity with the people of Kashmir, read the post of Umar Khalid.

Following the post several questioned the terms of Khalid’s bail in Afzal Guru case.

Wani had become the face of Hizbul in the valley after videos featuring him were widely circulated in the valley. He reportedly joined the militia in 2010 at the age of 15.
