Walking dead, “When I regained consciousness, the police was bringing out the body of my son from an ambulance.”

Used by the armed forces in the war on militancy and then dumped once the job was done, Kashmir’s socially ostra-cised counter-insurgents and their families have hit a dead-end in life, writes Zubair A. Dar


Gripped by nervousness, she rushed out. Her aging limbs quivered in anxiety. Her son, Bashir Ahmad Parray, a government-sponsored gunman had left minutes earlier. Along with six other men, he had boarded a Gypsy to take a round of the area. As Hajra reached the market, a rumour came like a wrenching wave to her. They said her son was probably dead.

“The men said the Gypsy had been attacked. A mine blast had killed all the seven people on the vehicle, shopkeepers talked in whispers,” Hajra says. She says she fell there. Some neighbours later brought her home from the bus stand. “When I regained consciousness, the police was bringing out the body of my son from an ambulance.”

That evening in 1997, Hajra wept alone. It was seven years after Bashir Ahmad Parray, fondly called Bashir Yaar by his accomplices, had returned from across the line of control (LoC) with a gun on his shoulder and a pouch of bullets and grenades around his waist. He had gone there for arms training and spent more than a year in a camp. Hajra remembers that sunny afternoon when Bashir returned.

“Other boys who had gone for training along with Bashir had already returned. There were rumours that Bashir had been killed while crossing the border. But I never gave up hope,” says Hajra. “That afternoon, I was cooking for my family. I heard people talking aloud on the road outside. They said Bashir had come. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw him approaching with several other men.”

Bashir had made a tough choice by walking the rugged tracks across the LoC for arms training. He operated as a militant for three years. But a tougher choice he made in 1994 had no comeback. Led by Mohammad Yousuf Parray alias Kuka Parray, his militant organisation – Ikhwan-ul-Muslimeen – switched sides to fight militancy in Kashmir.
