In this Wednesday, Nov. 2, 2016 photo, a Kashmiri Muslim woman shouts freedom slogans as she along with others run for cover from teargas fired by Indian soldiers during a raid carried out to arrest suspected protesters on the outskirts of Srinagar, Indian-controlled Kashmir. More than 8,000 people, mostly teen-aged boys and young men, have been rounded up and put in jail in India’s largest-ever crackdown on unarmed civilians, launched to quell an anti-India uprising that has kept this Himalayan territory in a virtual lockdown since July. Residents in the area accuse Indian forces of raiding neighborhoods, ransacking homes, beating civilians and firing on more than 300 electricity transformers to cut power to homes. Villages elsewhere have since fortified their transformers with sandbags and wooden logs. Families of protesters who have been detained or are in hiding line up by the hundreds outside police stations and courthouses, hoping to plead for their release or removal from the “wanted” lists.
