Where Kashmir, India
When 1998
Photographer Steve McCurry

"Slumped in grief, a Muslim cleric leads funeral prayers for his son—militant leader Shariq Bakshi—killed by Indian security troops. Some call Kashmir's insurgents mujahidin, holy warriors for Islam. Others call them criminals, whose victims—of kidnapping, extortion, and rape—are often other Kashmiris."

—From "Kashmir: Trapped in Conflict," September 1999, National Geographic magazine
