Fahad pitched an original story and delivered beautiful footage and strong interviews. He remained in good communication despite obstacles out of his control.
Indian-administered Kashmir is seeing the worst outbreak of violence in 6 years after the death of separatist leader Burhan Wani at the hands of Indian security forces. Media divisions are rife in this story - not just between Indian and Pakistani media, but between Kashmiri local media and self-appointed nationalist Indian media.
In August the Indian government effectively took over rule there, with Prime Minister Modi claiming Kashmir would benefit from “economic development” and the “benefits” that the rest of India had.

The death of a young Kashmiri man occurred in police custody at a time when the government of India has imposed restrictions and a communication blackout in the region since August 5.
Kashmiris are yet to come to terms with the loss of their autonomy as India maintains a stranglehold over the besieged population by cutting all communication lines.
Delivered on a bright Monday morning, Imaad Tariq was one of the first babies born into Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Naya Kashmir or new Kashmir.
