The Endless Wait<br />

In November 2015, Hajra<br />

Begum, a 74-year-old widow<br />

from a small frontier hamlet in<br />

Kashmir, received a fist-sized<br />

bag of soil. It was from the<br />

grave of her only son who<br />

had disappeared in 1997.<br />

Now, her 18-year-long wait<br />

was over.<br />

Most women are not as<br />

‘lucky’ as Hajra.<br />

In the past 28 years,the<br />

humanitarian cost of the<br />

conflict in Kashmir has been<br />

huge. Aside from nearly<br />

90,000 deaths, thousands<br />

have gone missing after they<br />

were picked up by the Indian<br />

forces.<br />

There are hundreds of<br />

women who have been carrying<br />

the burden of Kashmir’s<br />

enforced disappearances.<br />

Mothers and wives of missing<br />

men spend their entire<br />

life and all their possessions,<br />

often in abject poverty,<br />

searching for their loved ones<br />

in jails, police stations, army<br />

camps, and torture centers.<br />

Human rights groups place<br />

the number of missing at<br />

8,000 and in recent years<br />

have found nearly 2,700<br />

unmarked graves. Most<br />

families have never found<br />

their loved ones, so even with<br />

the occasional news of more<br />

graves, they continue to hold<br />

out hope.<br />
