बुरहान वानी शहीद
برہان وانی شہید
Burhan Wani was a prominent figure in the Kashmir Valley, known for his role as the commander of the Hizbul Mujahideen, a militant organization in Jammu and Kashmir. He gained significant attention for his use of social media to recruit young Kashmiri men into militancy, particularly through videos and posts advocating for Kashmiri independence from India.

Wani was born on July 7, 1994, and he became a symbol of the insurgency against Indian rule in Kashmir. His death on July 8, 2016, in a gun battle with Indian security forces sparked widespread protests and violence in the region. His funeral was attended by thousands of people, leading to further unrest and clashes with security forces.

His death intensified the debate over Kashmir's autonomy and the methods used by both militants and the Indian government in the conflict. It also highlighted the complex and sensitive nature of the Kashmir issue, which remains a point of contention between India and Pakistan, both of which claim the region in full but control it in part.
