| Fed up with repeated strikes by separatists in Kashmir Valley, shopkeepers are up in arms against protesters, who are tasting their own bitter pill as locals are attacking them with stones. |
| The government on Friday gave an assurance that Sikhs had nothing to fear in Kashmir in the wake of reported threats to the minority community from militants to convert to Islam or leave the Valley. |
| Sikhs in the Kashmir Valley have received anonymous letters from Islamic militants asking them to either embrace Islam and join the protests against civilian killings or pack up and leave. |
| Manmohan Singh urged the people of J&K to give "peace a chance", while recognising the need for a political solution that addresses their "sense of alienation". |
| For weeks after the Valley erupted in anger, the stone-pelting protesters were described as semi-literate, unemployed youth. However, many of them have college degrees, academic careers or once-thriving businesses. |
