Impact of Violence on the Children of Jammu and
Kashmir
I. Introduction
Children are one of the worst affected group in the ongoing conflict in
Jammu and Kashmir. Since the out-break of armed insurgency against India in
Jammu and Kashmir in 1989, and the state’s highly militaristic response;
children have not only suffered as indirect victims of the war but have been at
the receiving end of targeted state violence.
1
The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (commonly
abbreviated as the CRC or UNCRC) is a human rights treaty which sets out
the civil, political, economic, social, health and cultural rights of children. India
ratified the convention on 11 December 1992.

The nineties was a period of calamity for children, as incidents of state
violence against civilians carried out in lieu of fighting an insurgency, was at its
peak. From daily incidents of violence against civilians irrespective of their age
to acts of mass violence against entire villages or towns, or extra-judicial
killings, enforced disappearances, rapes and illegal and administrative detention
– children have faced the general state violence in much the same way as adults.
The trend continues unabated and unrestricted to this day, with no let up in
civilian killings, especially of children with continued illegal and administrative
detentions of minors. Children are without doubt one of most targetted groups
of state violence.
The report provides statistics, graphs, figures, and the analysis of killings
of children in the last fifteen years (2003 to 2017) in various incidents of
violence in Jammu and Kashmir. The data for this report was collected from
newspaper reports of last fifteen years and through field work conducted by
JKCCS research teams. It is our belief that the violence against children in
Jammu and Kashmir as per our estimates could be much higher than available
figures suggest as the trends in reporting cases of violence against children
wasn’t prominent in the first decade of 2000’s. However, the period of 1990 to
2005 was the deadliest in terms of scale of violence in Jammu and Kashmir, as
the majority of the total killings since the start of armed conflict happenned in
this period.

The report also analyses and evaluates the legal and juridical mechanisms
availed by the victim families for seeking justice. Through a thorough
examination of the cases of children killed and others the report raises the issue
of irrevocable impunity enjoyed by armed forces, which shields and protects
Indian armed forces from any kind of prosecution.
Children in Jammu and Kashmir have been victims of the law. The
governments in Jammu and Kashmir have been detaining minors illegally and
under the repressive Public Safety Act (PSA). The report analyses the
implication of the arbitrary use of repressive laws on the rights of children and
disregarding any protection afforded to children under various laws.
The report also lays bare that there are no legal and normative processes
or practices protecting children’s rights in Jammu and Kashmir – as those laid
out in JK Juvenile Justice Act, 2013 are not followed by the state functionaries.
With the advent of armed insurgency against Indian rule in Jammu and
Kashmir in 1989 and the Indian state’s brutal counter-insurgency campaign
against it, the civilians unsurprisingly became the first victims of the state
violence. In the initial years of the decade of the nineties, the crackdown against
civilians was widespread and systematic as incidents of mass violence in the
form of massacres took place at regular intervals. In the year 1990 alone, at
least 12 incidents of mass violence were perpetrated against civilians by Indian
armed forces in various parts of the valley resulting in the killing of at least 421
civilians4 including children. The pattern of violence against civilians markedly
illustrates that the first response of Indian state’s counter-insurgency campaign
was to directly target and victimize civilians, irrespective of their age and
gender, which was in clear contravention to the international humanitarian law
and Indian state’s stated claims of fighting insurgency.

allows for a great deal of flexibility in ‘defining rules of engagement during the
conduct of military operations’. 6 The direct impact of this repressive legal
regime has been on the civilian population, who has faced the brunt of Indian
state’s violence in the last twenty-nine years.
The survey recorded that children were not just killed during encounters,
many of them fake, but children became victims of custodial killings, enforced
disappearances, group clashes between militants, explosions, mortar shelling’s,
bomb-blasts and grenade blasts or during cross-firing between armed forces
and militants.
Out of the 392 children killed in the Baramulla and Bandipora districts
of Kashmir valley from 1989 to 2005 – 43 were females.
The data reveals that children have also become victims of enforced
disappearances at the hand of armed forces during the three-decade long armed
conflict in Jammu and Kashmir. Not less than 36 children, 10 among them
alleged militants, were forcibly disappeared by the Indian armed forces in the
two districts of Baramulla and Bandipora. The youngest child forcibly
disappeared is 9-year-old Javed Ahmad Dar of Ladoora, Rohama from
Baramulla district. Javed was disappeared in November 1991 and till now no
trace of him can be found.

population to collectively punish them and to create terror, the incidents of
mass violence by armed forces were frequent during the nineties. In one such
incident on 3-4 August 1998, 11 children between the age group of 4 to 15
years were among the 19 people shot dead in their homes at Sailan village,
Surankote Tehsil of district Poonch in Jammu region by Special Police Officers
(SPOs) police and armed forces. 7 The victims included five women. The
victim’s bodies were brutally axed and dismembered even after they were shot
dead. The State Human Rights Commission (SHRC), while taking note of the
gruesome mass murder, attributed the crime to Special Police Officers (SPOs)
of Jammu Kashmir Police – the SPOs are civilians recruited by the armed
forces and police force on ad hoc basis. The SHRC also suggested ‘the possible
involvement of the armed forces’. The massacre at Surankote in which 11
children were not only shot dead at point-blank range but also their bodies
were dismembered reveals the entrenching and horrible ways through which
large-scale militarization in Jammu and Kashmir has created a culture of
absolute impunity as these crimes have remained largely unpunished.

by SPO’s, police and armed forces is yet another stark reminder of the fact that
children are the direct targets of state violence.8
The cases like these best exemplify the nature of state violence in Jammu
and Kashmir, which is structural. The impunity for armed forces exists from
perpetrating crime to the judiciary where victims of violence are left battered by
the denials of justice.
The January 2018 rape and murder of a minor girl in Kathua district of
Jammu and Kashmir by police personal, apparently with the stated objective of
striking terror within the marginalized community of Muslim Gujjars sent
shockwaves in Kashmiri society. The brutal rape and murder of a child at the
hands of police personal yet again confirms that children are not indirect
victims of conflict, but rather at many occasions, they are the primary targets of
state violence. The pattern of state violence against children appears to be
deliberate and calculated. The killing of the minor girl wasn’t the lone killing of
a minor in this year, as in the first three months of 2018 – not less than 5
minors have been killed in state violence, including the Kathua minor girl.
While one 17 year old was killed near an encounter site in Shopian in January,
another 10 year old was killed due to the explosion of a littered shell near an
encounter site in Shopian and two children were killed at LOC due to cross
LOC shelling.
The fifteen-year period from 2003 to 2017, witnessed not less than 318
killings of children (in the age group of 1 to 17) in various incidents of violence
in Jammu and Kashmir. The killing of 318 children constitutes 6.95% of the
civilian killings in last fifteen years, as 4571 civilians have been killed in Jammu
and Kashmir in the same period (2003 – 2017). In the same period, i.e. from
2003 to 2017, at least 16,436 killings were recorded in Jammu and Kashmir,
and the majority of them included alleged militants numbering at least 8537
killings. The numbers indicate that in the last fifteen years Jammu and Kashmir
in an average year has witnessed at least 1,095 killings, which belies the
government’s claims of ‘return to normalcy’.

violence ceased to stop as the Indian government unrelentingly perused
violence as the state policy.
After the decline in militancy in mid 2000s, there were several attempts
to mobilize people for mass protests in 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2016 against
killings and for resolution of Kashmir dispute. The state’s response to the mass
uprisings was again militaristic and repressive. The scale of state violence
against civilians peaked in these uprisings as at least 548 number of people were
killed in government forces action. The extensive use of tear-smoke shells and
pellet shotguns resulted in killings of at least 16 children. Eight children were
killed due to pellet shotguns, 7 were killed due to injuries by tear smoke shelling
and 1 child reportedly died due to asphyxiation caused by Pelargonic Acid
Vanillylamide (PAVA) shell, which are chilly based munitions.

Public Commission on Human Rights (PCHR), May 2006, The Informative
The explosive devices were frequently used by Indian armed forces and
110 children have been killed due to explosions of various kinds like by grenade
blasts, IEDs, landmines or due to the littered shells left by armed forces at
encounter sites. The deaths of children due to littered shells is another
unfortunate way by which children have been victimized in Jammu and
Kashmir, as at least 9 children have fallen victims of explosions caused by
littered shells as they were fiddling with it.
10
National Commission For Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR), 2010, for
One of the significant aspects of the violence against children is that the
perpetrators have not made any distinction between the ages of the victim
children. Of the 318 children killed in the last 15 years, 121 children fall in the
age group of below 12 years while 154 children killed are between 13 to 17
years. Infants (up to 2 years of age) too have become victims of violence as 13
infants have been killed in last fifteen years. The youngest victim of violence in
Jammu and Kashmir in last fifteen years was the 10-month-old baby Irfan who
was killed in 2010, when his mother was caught between government forces
and protestors in Dangiwacha, Baramulla.
Out of 318 children killed, 227 were male children and the rest i.e. 91 of
the children’s gender could not be ascertained as it was not reported at the time
of the killing. The majority of the cases where gender could not be identified
are before the year 2008 when newspaper reports didn’t always mention the age
of the victims.
13
The year-wise graph of killings of children in the last fifteen years shows
a see-saw trend, as the years which were touted by the Jammu and Kashmir
government as years of the peace process (2003 – 2008) saw the killing of 184
children, which accounts for more than half i.e. 57.86% of the total killings of
children in the last fifteen years. In the same period at least 16, 436 took place,
including the killing of at least 4571 civilians. The figures reveal that contrary to
government claims of the return to normalcy in these years, the scale of
violence in Jammu and Kashmir, and especially violence against children saw an
upward trend. The highest number of killings of children in the last fifteen
years took place in the years 2003, 2005, 2006 and 2010 – with 50 killings in
2006, followed by 48 killings in 2010 and 36 killings each in the years 2005 and
2003 respectively.
The year wise graph of killings of children in Jammu and Kashmir from
2003 to 2017 is given as follows:

One of the marked features of state violence has been its deliberate
attempt to target school and college going children, as students are seen by the
as the major section of the dissenting population. The long-drawn conflict in
Jammu and Kashmir has had a severe impact not only on education but also
directly on students, as hundreds of them have been killed in many incidents of
violence. Students have been the first victims of strife in Jammu and Kashmir,
both directly and indirectly.
The use of the repressive law Public Safety Act (PSA) to detain youth,
leaders of Hurriyat or anyone challenging or criticising the government is one
of the facets of the repressive regime in Jammu and Kashmir. The provisions
under PSA allows the authorities in Jammu and Kashmir to detain individuals
for up to two years at a time without trial and deprives them of the basic
human liberty guaranteed under domestic and international law. The 2011
Amnesty International report A 'Lawless Law': Detentions under the Jammu and
Kashmir Public Safety Act 11 estimated that over the past two decades 8,000 -
20,000 people in Jammu and Kashmir have been detained under PSA, and the
those detained under PSA include children as well. The data collected by
11
Amnesty International, 2011, A Lawless Law: Detentions Under The Jammu and
16
dossier prepared by police. This ensures that in the government records, the
age of the detainee is always above 18 years of age.
Many cases like this highlight the fact that the police and district
administration deliberately do not take into account the age of the detenue,
especially children and routinely book them under false, arbitrary and punitive
charges under PSA. Assigning wrong age on PSA dossiers, especially in cases of
children is done to prevent any possibility of staying their arrest. The closer
analysis of the patterns of use of PSA to arrest children reveals that the arrests
of children are done to punish and persecute them. In some cases these arrests
are the beginning of the process of cultivating an ‘anti-state element’, wherein
police will routinely harass and arrest these young children whenever there is an
anti-government protest in the area. The impact of the repeated harassment
and arrests directly affects their education and impacts their social behaviour.
The JK Juvenile Justice Act 1997 was amended in 2013 and the amended
rules laid out the formation of Juvenile Justice Boards in each district of Jammu
and Kashmir headed by a magistrate. The purpose of these juvenile justice
boards is to protect the rights of children in conflict with the law, but the state
government has not only failed at setting up juvenile boards but through its
callous attitude towards protection of child rights have shown that it cares little
about children in contravention with the law. The state government has also
failed to sanction child protection officers and establishing special homes for
juveniles in conflict with the law in each district. Kashmir valley has only one
Juvenile Home in Harwan area of Srinagar. Most of the child detainees, only if
High Court has established them as minors are taken to the Harwan Juvenile
home.

Sexual Violence in Armed Conflict http://www.sexualviolencedata.org/

been used as a weapon of war by the state in order to enforce collective
punishment and to instil fear among the rebelling populace. The most recent
example of rape being used as a weapon of war was in Kathua district of
Jammu where a minor 8-year-old nomad Gujjar girl from the minority Muslim
community was abducted, raped and murdered by personnel of police
belonging to the majority Hindu community. The police investigation into the
abduction, rape and murder of the minor girl revealed that it was carried out to
instil fear among the nomadic Gujjar community and precipitate their
migration from the area, which is dominated by the Hindu majority.
During the sample years under study i.e. between 2003 – 2017, at least 2
teenage girls were raped in Jammu and Kashmir. One of the girls was raped in
2004 by an Ikhwani, a counter-insurgent militiaman and the victim later
committed suicide and the other minor girl was raped and murdered by Indian
forces in 2009. It is to be noted here that the recorded cases of sexual violence
against children in conflict in Jammu and Kashmir are much less than the
actual figure. The data collection for sexual violence cases in Jammu and
Kashmir is often rife with difficulty as the majority of the survivors of rape and
sexual assault refuse to speak about the incidents due to the stigma and frea of
reprisals and hopelessness from the judicial processes, which so far have failed
in prosecuting any personell from armed forces. Therefore cases of sexual
violence are not only under-reported but the figures are underestimated as well.
The numbers are likely to be higher owing to the protracted nature of the
conflict in Jammu and Kashmir.

the victim was respected. The high-profile Handwara case, where state made all
attempts to disallow campaigning for the minor girl,15 starkly illustrated the
deep and entrenched scale of militarization in Jammu and Kashmir and its
impact on people, especially school-going children.
The sexual violence in Jammu and Kashmir include rape, sexual abuse,
abductions, molestations and harassment. The numbers and figures on the
extent of reported cases of sexual violence against civilians vary. In October
2013 in Jammu and Kashmir legislative assembly, the then Chief Minister
Omar Abdullah, stated that 5,125 rape cases and 14,953 molestation cases have
been registered in the state of Jammu and Kashmir since 1989. Medecins Sans
Frontieres in their 2006 report Kashmir: Violence and Health found that a higher
number of people in Jammu and Kashmir had experienced sexual violence than
in conflict situations like Sri Lanka and Sierra Leone.
The use of sexual violence by state forces in Jammu and Kashmir against
civilians, including children has been used as a method of reprisal and
punishment against the community at large and these crimes have usually gone

unpunished as there exists systematic impunity which is perpetuated through
repressive laws like Armed Forces (Special Powers) Act (AFSPA). The
structural impunity enjoyed by armed forces has meant that rape and sexual
assault has been perpetrated with zero accountability and usually deliberately.
One of the glaring examples of this phenomena is the mass rape and torture of
women and men of the twin villages of Kunan Poshpora on 23 February 1991
where girls as young as 8-year-old became victims of the mass sexual assault by
Indian armed forces.

An independent survey of the exact number of schools and educational
institutions occupied by Indian armed forces has not been conducted yet and
the government denies providing information under the pretext that ‘they have
not been maintaining any such data.’ In 2006 the report State of Human Rights in
Jammu and Kashmir: 1990 to 2005 by Public Commission on Human Rights
(PCHR), 18 published a list of 46 schools and educational establishments
occupied by armed forces at that time. The list is reproduced below.

b) Attack on Schools
The protracted conflict in Jammu and Kashmir has meant that the
schools have also come under attack and have been sites of violence. State of
Human Rights in Jammu and Kashmir (1990 – 2005) quoted a survey conducted in
mid-nineties that ‘more than 400 schools were gutted during the conflict, and
more than 60% of children between the age of 10 and 14 were deprived of
education because of the conflict’.21 The figure, which covers the first six years
of a three-decade-long conflict, conveys the scale of destruction of schools
during this period.
24
force employed by the state to quell insurgency and dissent. The incidents of
violence against students, most of them children, were quite common during
the nineties. As schools were occupied by armed forces, and military camps and
outposts sprang around schools and educational institutions, the incidents of
violence against students, which ranged from killings, beatings, and harassment
to sexual violence, saw a rapid rise. As has been clearly established in this
report, children have not been viewed differently by armed forces during
combat operations or while perpetrating acts of mass violence against civilians.
The case with students is quite similar. Students have been viewed as adults and
violence against them illustrates that the violent counter-insurgency campaign
unleashed by the government of India has largely affected the civilian
population, including children and students.
In an act of violent reprisal against the civilian population, soon after the
incident the CRPF men ran amuck and barged into a nearby high-school and
fired indiscriminately on the children, killing one girl child Naza Akhtar on the
spot and grievously injuring others. The incident is just one example among
many illustrating how students have often become victims of the aggression of
the armed forces, often always during violent reprisal attacks against the civilian
population.
During the years (2003 – 2017) under study, 185 students have been
killed in various incidents of violence in Jammu and Kashmir. Indian armed
forces and JK Police have killed a singularly highest number of them i.e. 136
children in the given period, accounting for 73% of the total killings of
students. The killing of students due to explosions accounted for 20 killings,
while unidentified gunmen killed not less than 12 children. Militants are
responsible for the killing of five students, while three children have been killed
due to cross LOC shelling.
25
26
The twin mass uprisings in 2010 and 2016 saw an unprecedented rise in
state violence against civilians, especially children and students as 38 and 37
students were killed in these two years respectively.
