What will it take to restore peace in Kashmir? (video)



A prominent Kashmiri politician resigns over unrest in the disputed region.


It's the worst unrest for six years in Indian-administered Kashmir. Weeks of protests, more than eighty people killed and thousands wounded.

The trigger was the killing of a popular rebel fighter by Indian security forces in July.

Tension between Kashmiris and the Indian government was already high over accusations of human rights abuses.

A politician has resigned over the killing of civilians.

What are the underlying issues making peace elusive?
