"Greetings." "Hey..." "Hey!" "Listen..." "Me?" "Why did you greet me in public!" "I'll greet you only in private then!" "Do you know what happens here to a girl found talking to a soldier?" "What happens?" " She's either raped or her house gets bombed!" "Understood?" " So I'm to pretend I don't know you, in public." " Why did You create such dolts?" "Why hurt yourself for His mistake?" " Your logic!" "I'm leaving." "Adaa!" "At least don't call out my name so loud!" "Please!" "Grandma, when will all this end?" "All what?" "All this violence, hatred and fear in the Valley."

"Show me your throat child." "Just pass me the torch captain." "How long has she been unable to talk?" " Two years." "Captain, it seems to be curable." "But I'll be able to diagnose it properly after some x-rays and tests." "I'll write it down, seeing the results I'll be able to take any decisions." "Thank you very much doctor!" " No problem Captain." "These are the prescriptions." "Will you come to Chandigarh?" "I know someone at that Military Hospital." "The treatment won't cost much." "I'll get the living arrangements done." "We'll think about it." "Bye Shree..." " Thank you!" "Gurpal!" "Gurpal!" "How's your torch doing?" " Sorry?" "How's your torch doing?" " It's not working."

"See I got it out, now it's your turn let's see if you can get it out or not." "Yes I can do, like this." "Peace efforts in Kashmir suffered a huge setback when militants killed 32 civilians in Kanhabal." "The victims include 8 children." "It's suspected that Al-Jihad's, Shakeel Ahmed is behind the attack." "Today you'll see the real Kashmir. 32 people have been killed." "If we launch an aggressive enquiry Human Rights activists claim 'Military atrocities'." "If we don't the death toll triples by tomorrow!" "So, in all of this, only listen to your conscience." "Let's move Jawans." "Get down..." "Round up everyone!" "Did the militants come here?" "Tell me the truth!" "I am telling you the truth..." "They didn't stay at our house!" "They attacked the entire village!" "Liar!" "You don't deserve to live!" "Did they come?" "Everything is clear sir..." " So go and search in the other places." "Come on tell me, they had come here?" "Please sir!" "This is enough, sir." "Do you know whom you are speaking to?" " Yes sir." "This is against Army Rules, Sir!" " So you'll teach me the rules, eh?" "I'll report this, Sir!" "You'll report me?" " I'm sorry sir." "But I will." "Move!" "Dismissed!" "Get them some water!" " Yes sir." "Greetings sir..." " Greetings." "Majid, what happened to your face?" "I kept quiet because of you, otherwise I would've had shot him." "But what happened?" " He was bad mouthing us." "He said we should be grateful for being allowed to enter here." "That we're outsiders and should stay ...out of the Valley's affairs." "Where is he?" " Here I am!" "What's this?" "'Terrorist Attack in Kanhabal'" "Why was this done?" " There were military informers there." "8 children?" "How were they military informers?" "Informers have no age." "It's been long since an attack occurred here." "We need to remind India that we're around." "That's the way of war." "Our war is with the Indian Army." "And it better stay that way." "We have new orders." "There have to be three more attacks." "I didn't join you to take orders!" "Kashmir is mine and to restore my people their rights, I don't need a hired mercenary like you!" "Moin..." "Can't we break away from them?" "It's not the right time, Moin, but it won't be long either." "It's my daughter's wedding today." "Is everything alright?" "Of course, just routine duty." "Nothing to worry about." "There's crowd here so we were just checking." "It's very cold outside would you like some tea?" "For my soldiers please!" " I'll just get it for them." "Check upstairs too." " Sir." "Tea?" " Give it to my soldiers." "Tea?" "Did everyone else take it?" "They have." "This one is yours." " Can't see my name on it." "I'll write it, if you wish so." "This white... doesn't suit!" "You were on duty in Kulgaon?" "How was the bride's father?" "He's ok, Sir." "A little sad seeing his daughter leave." "And the whole of village is mourning today." "Thirty bullet injuries!" "His corpse was found near the ditch." "Impossible, Sir!" "I went off duty half an hour ago." "Here, dozens are killed in less than half an hour." "You can be court-martialed for this." "This occurred after my duty hours." "It happened despite being on duty." "It's the same bloody Shakeel!" "This point is 28 kms." "From here." "I don't know if I will return alive from this mission."

"And don't think that our blood has turned water." "As a father, I have the right to slap you." "And by God, I will not repent it."

"If we don't stop this... do you know what will happen the impossible will become possible." "...people will begin to see hope and India will use this to further encroach into Kashmir!" "These bloody soldiers!" "No sir..." "The other three soldiers are seriously injured." "But we did find out something rather strange Sir." "Are you upset with me?" "Any reason for me to be?" "I didn't tell you that Shakeel was my brother." "Now you are giving me a reason to be upset." "Sir, this is the house where that girls stays." "Where is your daughter?" " She been missing since last night." "Do you know a Captain Aman?" " Yes." "Why didn't you inform us about this?" " I feared for my daughter." "Thank you, Let's go..." "Listen, does it snow in Pune?" "No." "Does it have maple trees?" " No." "Do you hear gunfire there?" "No." "It must seem so strange." " What?" "To live without gunfire." "Who do you have in your family?" "My father, mother and my sister - she's two years younger." "Does she wear jeans?" "Come and see for yourself!" "What will happen to us?" "Whatever we choose." "I've come too far." "I won't go back now." "I won't let you!" "When Al-Sami was caught, Shakeel was with him, but managed to escape." "There's a link between Capt. Aman and Shakeel's sister-here is proof." "And this letter is the proof." "How did Aman manage to escape?" "We've lost two soldiers and the other was badly injured." "He knew we'd arrive there so why didn't he return to the hideout?" "Sir, I think that there's some link between Aman and Shakeel." "Capt. Aman... search... hunt down seal the area... capture him..." "Report to me every half an hour." "Open the door!" "Do you deny, that Shakeel's sister tried to rescue you?" "Yes but she..." "Say yes or no..." "Yes, Sir." "You have had relations with her since your posting near her house?" "'Relations' in the sense..." " 'Relations' meaning you used to meet ...her while on duty, write to her and even invite her to your bunker." "Yes..." "An enquiry has been instituted against Captain Aman." "They suspect him of having connections with Shakeel." "If the enquiry goes against him then everything will be over." "I've come a long way." "Please let me meet the Major!" "I told you he isn't in!" "Keep quiet and wait." "Why should I sit..." "I have been waiting for the past two hours." "I know everything about this case but you won't let me meet him?" "Move aside!" "The Major's coming!" "Sir, please stop!" "These people were not letting me meet you!" "Wait a minute." "Go!" "My name is Adaa, and I..." "I know!" " I have important information about the enquiry against Capt. Aman." " Please take her back." "Sir, he's innocent!" "I want to file my statement!" "Listen to me girl and listen carefully." "This is a Military enquiry, not a charade." "Only the necessary people are called." "If we need your statement, we will call you." "Please take her away." "He was with me all night and you won't even register my statement?" "Your brother's a terrorist, isn't he?" " We've nothing to do with him!" "You aid and albeit those bastards behind our backs!" "This is not true." "It's the truth and listen..." "If I see you here ever again, I'll put your entire family behind bars!" "Take her away..." "Come on dear..." "Come let's go home." "It's no use standing here." "This is a Military affair, and nobody wants to get involved." "But he's innocent!" "I have proof!" "If you have proof, why don't you talk directly to the Army?" "They aren't listening to me, if you can help me speak to the General." "I'm sorry, it's an Army enquiry." "I can't do anything." "Capt. Aman, 2nd RR force, you are hereby detained pending a court of enquiry regarding your alleged links with the Al-Jihad group." "Where's the editor?" " Over there." "Come... come..." "I know of your case." "This will need big political approach" "Nothing is going to happen at our levels." "You can help me through the press." " We can't print anything we want." "In these sensitive times, we have to watch our reputation!" "How can helping a common girl affect your paper's reputation?" "Tell that to the owners of the publication." "Yes sir..." "And Shakeel?" " I know nothing about him Sir!" "Was it only Shakeel's sister with you that night or was Shakeel there too?" "These are false allegations, Sir!" "You still haven't understood Kashmir." "You've really taken time to understand." "A relationship with an Army man, in today's Kashmir, is unacceptable." "It will only ruin your name." " Being a woman, I was hoping you would understand me better." "I can only advise you to forget this man and move on." "When you were on duty in Kulgaon?" "He was killed after I got off duty." "It took 20 minutes to reach Camp from the venue." "They perpetrated an attack in that much time?" "That was a coincidence Sir." "Relationships and coincidences why do they happen only with you?" "Mr. Under-Secretary is out of town." "You can meet him when he returns." "He's asked us to come and meet him today, now it's after three days?" "If these are the facts, then Capt. Aman is a suspect." "Preside over the court of inquiry and submit your report immediately." "Captain Aman, 2nd RR force, you are hereby charged and Court Martialled for conspiring with the militant organisation, Al-Jihad and having links with Al-Qaida." "The charges stand confirmed based on the court of enquiry presided over by Major Rathore, 2nd RR force." "I have been coming since past three days." "I've fixed an appointment with the Minister at the Golf course" "Exactly five minutes, come there at 4 'o' clock." "I have heard your case..." "What's the problem?" " The Army isn't taking my statement." "The Army doesn't brook interferences in it's enquiries." "But I'll help you." "Thank you sir..." " But I have one condition But you'll have to give a public statement that it was a coincidence you were together that night and you have no relationship with him." "It's a question of the Army's reputation." "I'll do it but will he be released after that?" "This will ensure his release?" " We'll try." "But you have to promise me that you will not have anything to do with him in future." "But, Sir" " Learn to live in reality!" "No, Sir." "I can't accept that." "'Write to the Prime Minister.'" " Write to the Prime Minister?" "Mr. Prime Minister, my respects..." "My name is Adaa and I am a part of that Kashmir which India considers its own." "...and I want to believe this allegation of India." "All I know is that to live with dignity in the Kashmir of today one only needs integrity and love." "Please help this girl, far away from you." "I would be immensely grateful." "I write the details below" "Straight Questions:" "Questions of the common man crushed by power politics." "Now we will be your voice and ask your questions directly to those in the hot seats of power." "On our show: 'Straight Questions'" "Come on in..." "Hello..." " Hello!" "How are you?" " Yes I am fine..." "Come in, come in..." "Namrata, here's her file" "Have a seat please." "Sign here, right here..." "Thank you, get me Delhi" "Have you read this carefully?" "Do you know what you're doing?" " Yes." "Ma'am phone from Delhi." "Hello, good afternoon sir." "Yes, Sir, it's about that Kashmiri girl's story." "Adaa, we'll record you tomorrow okay?" " Yes." "Lights." " Role check okay..." " Lights camera..." "Greetings..." "In our next episode we bring you Adaa who is an example of simplicity Iove and sacrifice." "...the sister of Kashmiri militant Shakeel Ahmed." "In love with Capt Aman an officer of the Indian Army Adaa wants to ask what crime she has committed." "In strife-torn Kashmir can this relationship be the promise of a new dawn?" "Watch 'Straight Questions' tomorrow evening." "Where's the fax from that Kashmiri girl?" " It's filed, Sir" "Bring it to my office." "I saw it." "I'll find out Sir!" "Give me Srinagar." "Yes Sir, the enquiry is still on" "Where's that girl's statement?" " Sir, I haven't taken it yet." "She's the prime witness in this case, and you don't have her statement?" "What's wrong, Major?" "Nothing, Sir!" "I want to meet this girl myself." "You understand the significance of that show being aired?" "It's a ploy by the Army!" " Your sister is involved!" "She was trapped into it!" " We are trapped far deeper!" "We want Al-Sami." "Alive." "In the house of God?" "I can't." "No place here is off-limits for us!" "The telecast is tomorrow and that is our deadline!" "You won't go inside." "Look after my family, especially Adaa." "Be careful..." "Majid..." "Hey catch them..." "Get inside..." "Come on, you go on the gate..." "Hey go and stay there..." "Take them in!" "Get everyone seated!" "Altaf!" "The back door!" "Brother Shakeel, I am at the back door." "So, she wanted to give a statement but you didn't let her." "When you knew they could be attacked, why didn't they have any security?" "Why?" "Was this a personal vendetta, Major?" "I'm ordering an enquiry against you." "And believe me..." "I'll take a premature retirement." "If I don't reach to the bottom of this case." "And if you have done something wrong then I advise you to start looking for a job outside the forces." "'I, Shakeel Ahmed, take responsibility for this attack." "I'm holding 55 hostages." "If the Indian Government wants their release, it shall have to agree to our demands." "Our first demand is... '" "One by one please..." "This girl's interview has created such a furore, that their first ...demand is to stop its telecast?" " Perhaps!" "So will this telecast be stopped?" "We have asked them to stop the show, but they are a private channel." "Sir, we have heard that this is imprisoned Al-Sami's master minded this attack?" "Sorry, no comments." "Will Al-Sami be released, as per their next demand?" "There are meetings on in Delhi." "The moment the decision" "What are your comments on their unusual 3rd demand?" "'... curfew timings have been extended... '" "United Nations has criticized this action and have asked the government to take action." "'Their third demand is that they will only negotiate with Captain Aman or else one hostage will be killed every hour.'" "You can refuse, Captain." "I cannot pressurize you in this situation." "He wants you inside the mosque, alone." "Everyone know what will really happen in there." "He wants to negotiate only with you." "And we doubt his intention regarding this negotiation." "You know he is capable of anything!" "I'll go in, Sir" " Don't make an emotional decision." "A soldier has the right to emotions" "And in any case, this is not an emotional decision." "It's a tactful one." "Our crack force needs time to prepare." "We have to spend the time anyhow." "Hurry up I don't want to lose the satellite time." "Hello, Adaa." "How are you?" "I'm alright." "We've come to take you for the recording." "She's Adaa." " Is she the same one?" " She's going for the recording." "Get me the head quarters..." "And everyone stay in your position." "Check it, the voice should be clear." " And sir the other thing?" "Do you think your plan will work?" "They are terrorists captain..." "They aren't swayed by sentiment." "A terrorist has as much sentiment as a soldier." "He has a cause to fight for." "My duty is to prevent it." "The just cause will win." "Just consider, what I have said." "Take care, Captain!" " Thank you." "Hands up in the air." "He's here!" "He's gone in alone?" " Yes." "You can cancel the interview." "Maybe they would show him some mercy?" "He doesn't need anyone's mercy." "We need you, Shakeel." "Come back." "Please..." "Keep him quiet!" "I said, keep him quiet!" "Forgive us son we were misguided but we found our way back home before darkness fell." "...Whereas, he is waiting for a new day to dawn not knowing that by then it will be too late." "Why don't you carry out a crack operation..." "Crack operation won't reap miracle, sir!" "We need time more Sir." "There are children inside." "Rushing in is too risky." "But I cannot understand your planning." "One of our brave soldier has gone in alone according to our plan." "An emergency meeting on the issue of the Al-Jihad Chief, Al-Sami's release, is underway." "It remains to be seen what steps are taken to ensure the safe release of the hostages in the mosque." "We need a decision on Al-Sami, Sir!" "It's not easy to take a decision about Al-Sami." "He's a dreaded terrorist." "We need time." "I can't seem to make you understand one thing sir and that is we don't have time, Sir!" "The Chief is here!" "Sir, we don't have time, sir." "Shakeel!" "My friend, my partner how can, I thank you!" "It's like a black spot on the government..." "They won't be able to forget this setback." "Is everything ready?" "Good..." "Altaf..." "Connect me to Majid!" "And get ready to get out of here." "Majid!" " Greetings Sultan!" " Greetings." "We are waiting for you at the border!" "We'll be there soon!" "Over!" "They're coming out!" "All alert..." "Take a few of them for cover." "We will release them later." "Don't you have the courage to lead the way out, Al-Sami?" "Oh, so you're here, too!" " So you recognize me." "How could I forget you!" "Because I'm the reason you're alive..." "Because a lone Indian soldier could not change the course of history in this Valley, and failed in his mission here." "The course of history will change with one innocent girl's voice the same girl whose house you blew up!" "What?" "Mother..." "That voice reverberates through the Valley forcing you to hear her." "Open your heart and realize that it's time for change." "My name is Adaa and I am the sister of Al-Jihad terrorist, Ahmed Shakeel." "I take great pride to announce that I am in love with Captain Aman a faithful officer of the Indian Army and a beacon of humanity." "I have been accused, that I have fallen in love with an Army man." "He's been accused for loving me." "We both have been accused of falling in love and in ravage torn Kashmir it is Love that is considered the most heinous crime." "I imagined I would come here full of angry words!" "But now I'm lost." "How can I remain angry with an Army that has given me a man like Aman?" "Can I curse a Government I haven't met?" "Can I rant about all our brothers who left us their parents and sisters never to come back." "However, I haven't lost my fortitude." "In fact, my struggle has just begun." "Capt Aman was with me that night, as he shall remain with me forever because we are soul mates!" "Together, we will see a new Kashmir where love will not be a crime." "Boats shall set sail again and melody ring through the air." "And every sister shall see her brother's smiling face besides her." "I don't know in what condition you are, Aman?" "But wherever you are, think that I am nearby." "I wish I could tell you in mere words my relation with you." "And to all our brothers far away, I plead - please come back." "Everyone's waiting for you at home." "Father has carefully guarded your Eid gifts over the years." "Family gatherings are incomplete without you." "And mama still cries silently, through the night!" "Please come home!" "The Lord keep you safe..." "Shakeel!" "We don't have time!" "Shakeel..." "Snipers in position!" "Altaf, start the vehicle!" "Father!" "Everybody come out!" "Drop your weapons!" "Everybody come out." "Hands above your head!" "The mosque is under control!" "Thank you Sir!"
