himalayan territory: His teenage son was refused school admission, and his Pakistan-Kashmiri wife and five daughters felt ostracized, according to Metro News. After two years of struggle, he'd had enough. His family was denied Indian citizenship after returning from the Pakistan-controlled side of the disputed Himalayan territory. On a hot summer day in 2014, Bukhari set himself on fire in the main square of the western village of Kreeri and died the next day in a hospital, according to his wife, Safeena Bashir. Though her son, now 21, is supporting the family as a coppersmith and her daughters are now in school, Safeena wants to return to the Pakistani side where she felt welcome. We were cheated, Safeena said about the family's decision to accept an Indian deal promising citizenship and reintegration in exchange for giving up the fight against Indian rule.
