Nandu: The slaughter of democracy: How the army forced people to vote in Kashmir The infamous Sopore is more deserted than Baramulla. Inside booth number 73B, I meet M Shahin Sheikh and Shah Shah. Their identity cards, they tell me, have been taken by the BSF; those will be returned only after they produce the nishan on their finger. Unfortunately, Shah's name isn't on the voter's list. He cannot vote. "Please mark my finger then," he tells the polling official, holding out his hand, "I came only for this." The official obliges. "Poor people. Why get them into trouble?" The Indian Govt's view on this: You can take the horse to a water hole, but U can't make it drink The Govt failed. Something more needs to be done to win the hearts and minds of the Kashmiris. How do U do that? No easy answers. JPR
