Bollywood's New Hero: The Erasure of Kashmir's Pellet Victims

The trailer for "Chauhaan," starring Ajay Devgn, frames Kashmir's pellet gun victims as a problem to be solved, not mourned, reclassifying pellet guns as ineffective rather than harmful. This narrative, set against a commercial action backdrop, dismisses the documented human cost, including blindness and psychological trauma, of pellet guns used for crowd control in Kashmir.
