“Numan had finished his practical exam on Saturday and on Sunday morning, he left to get bread for breakfast, we kept waiting for him to come back, but he did not, his dead body reached my courtyard,” Mohammed Ashraf, his father told The Kashmiriyat.

He said that his son dreamed to help his family and bring them out of poverty. “I do not want to become a doctor or engineer, but i just want to study well and take my family out of poverty,” his father remembers him saying several times.

Here in Kashmir, we do not have a right to dream, we do not have to right to think of our future, because you never know which bullet will pierce your body and when. “Our right to life is at stake,” he told The Kashmiriyat.
