Rise of rap
Rap music in Kashmir drew attention during the 2010 summer protests against the Indian military. Drawing inspiration from the Palestinian intifada, young Kashmiri men came out on the streets to pelt stones at military personnel. In response, the Indian army killed around 100 civilian protesters, many of them teenagers.
