India Kashmir Non Lethal Violence
In this photo taken Friday, Aug. 27, 2010, an Indian police officer aims his pellet gun at the group of Kashmiri protesters in Srinagar, India. In Kashmir, troops now dress in high-tech black riot gear, covered head to foot in plastic armor that can make them look decidedly inhuman. They carry stun grenades, tear gas grenades and shotguns loaded with - they say - non-lethal pellets. They are the vanguard trying to fulfill Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's order in August to staunch the bloodshed in Kashmir by using non-lethal measures to control the violent demonstrations that have shaken the Himalayan region for the past three months.
