Kashmir’s
village of widows
Chuk Seer (Srinagar),
September 15
In the twilight of her life,
60-year-old Sarah hears news about the death of some persons in Kashmir
and sighs, “There, now we will have more widows and some orphans
too.” Tears well up in her eyes as she looks at four widows in her own
family besides almost 40 others working outside in the fields or cursing
their ill-luck sitting in a corner of the thatched huts in this unique
‘village of widows’ on the Srinagar-Baramula highway.
