Paramilitary soldiers patrolled the streets in Srinagar and threatened to shoot violators on sight. Five people died on Wednesday in the latest clashes in Kashmir and the neighbouring state of Jammu. Those clashes came two days after 18 protesters and a police officer were killed in street battles - the worst outbreak of violence in Kashmir in months of anti-India unrest this year. Since 1989, a violent, separatist insurgency and the ensuing crackdown by Indian forces have killed an estimated 68-thousand people. While that rebellion has been largely suppressed, public opposition to Indian rule remains deep. The region remains heavily militarised with hundreds of thousands of troops, checkpoints along main roads, and harsh emergency laws still in force, creating further friction with the restive population. Thousands of mainly Muslim protesters have taken to the streets over the past three summers, stoning troops and demanding independence from Hindu-dominated India or a merger with Muslim-majority Pakistan. Kashmir is divided between the neighbouring countries and both lay claim to all of it. This summer, the violence has claimed nearly 90 lives. The recent eruption of violence has left the government searching for a new strategy for dealing with the protesters.
