International award for three photographers

It has been 285 days of Indian lock down in Occupied Kashmir and with it the oppression of one lakh occupying Indian soldiers has not abated but its brutality and barbarism has increased during Ramadan and the global outbreak of Corona virus. In addition to martyring and injuring innocent Kashmiris who are fasting every day, they are being forcibly removed from their homes after which no trace of them is found. Shops and businesses are being demolished. Kashmiris, who have been trapped in their homes for eight months, are deprived of basic necessities. The usurping Indian government has cut them off from the outside world so that their veil is not torn.  Weak and suffering patients of heart, diabetes, blood pressure and other diseases are deprived of emergency and medical facilities and necessities. Children and the elderly are the most affected while the mental and physical condition of women is also deteriorating. Children going to school and college are suffering from psychological disorders. Parents are constantly being harassed so that the oppressive Indian army does not pick up their child. In the shadow of the plight of .7 million  Indian soldiers, the world is almost unaware of the atrocities taking place in occupied Kashmir. But by some means, the news of the atrocities of the Indian Army is being spread in the print and electronic media and the veil of the atrocities of India is being unveiled by the Associated Press which is the oldest reliable and authoritative source of news. His three photographers,
 Dar Yasin,

 Mukhtar Khan

 and Chini Anand,

 performed a feat that is less than admirable in the face of stringent restrictions and the presence of Indian troops at every step. The trio includes Anand, a non-Muslim photographer from Jammu. Would the beastly soldiers in this lock down have allowed them to take pictures while standing in front or in the corner? The solution, the photographers found, was that Indian soldiers had barricades every few yards, and it was a matter of life and death for them to go out to the civilian population with cameras under their noses. The baskets were carried on their heads and carried on carts. The three photographers adopted this method and hid the camera in a vegetable basket, passing exclusive pictures of vegetables passing through them through various nooks and crannies, accomplishing their goal and not letting the Indian soldiers know. While many pictures will take refuge in the houses of foreign Kashmiris and hide from various balconies, windows and nets, the oppressed Kashmiris also gave their full support to these photographers. Rare images showing angels weeping in grief at the funeral prayers of an 11-year-old girl who was martyred by Indian soldiers at the hands of beasts. A masked young man stoned an Indian Army armored vehicle Meanwhile, a picture of grief and despair of six-year-old Manifa, one of whose eyes was lost by the firing of a pellet gun of Indian soldiers, is being chanted by Kashmiri youth carrying Pakistani flags and chanting slogans during Friday prayers in Srinagar.

 And are praying. In Srinagar, a majority of Kashmiri women are praying outside the shrine of Hazrat Abdul Qadir Jilani. Each of these pictures has a full title and story in its place, informing the world about the Indian atrocities being perpetrated on the oppressed Kashmiris. The three photographers risked their lives to take the picture if they were to be taken to the Associated Press office in Delhi, so the photographers kept in touch with the Delhi-bound traveler and through them took the pictures to their office in New Delhi. Managed to reach. The Associated Press presented these special and exclusive photos taken during the lock down to the world, and the three photographers were later awarded the 2020 Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography for their bravery, passion, honor and justice. After receiving the award, photographer Yasin Dar said that  during the lockdown  he has strengthened his resolve so he will not remain silent. Speaking on the occasion, Gary Croot, CEO of the Associated Press, said that it has been the tradition of the Associated Press to give awards to photography. He is grateful to the team of photographers for their work in making the world increasingly self-aware of the region's long struggle for independence, and the work of all three photographers is commendable. Under the circumstances, Indian atrocities were presented to the world. To which not only Occupied Kashmir

 and Pakistan but also the peace, democracy and justice classes of the world pay homage and salute to him.
