Good afternoon, we need your help!

Since 2015, The Wire has fearlessly delivered independent journalism, holding truth to power.

Voters in Pulwama of Jammu and Kashmir speak to The Wire’s Arfa Khanum Sherwani on what their vote stands for and why they would want to vote for the restoration of statehood for J&K. For many, the towering issue is unemployment – “people here are education, it is not like people have not studied.” For several, it is necessary for J&K to have elected leaders of its own.
