Kashmir. The first that comes into your mind is probably war, Cashmere Goats, or even the most excellent Led Zeppelin song. But Kashmir is actually about its people. The Museum of Kashmir is a movement against forgetting. We document and preserve the people's memory and oral history.

Red Square: Magarmal Bagh

Magarmal Bagh is a small neighbourhood nestled between the busy city centre of Srinagar - Lal Chowk and Batamaloo. It's hidden behind the recently built flyover and the cacophony of the city centre. It has been a witness to some tumultuous events in Kashmir's history over the century. One of them being the Magarmal Bagh Massacre that occurred on 19th of January, 1991 when Indian forces fired upon civilians in its market. At least 16 people were killed and scores were injured.

As part of our Red Square series, we speak to one of the survivors of the massacre.
