The struggle for sovereignty in Kashmir thus throws into sharp relief two different claims to life and death. While the Indian state claims and exercises absolute power over life and death as an attribute and display of sovereign power, its victims speak the language of justice, kinship, and love. It takes the Poet, again—Rumi himself—to remind us that the tears of the weak and powerless are not to be despised, for they have great power.
