In Kashmir, as in Afghanistan, and Iraq, as the Amrikis will tell you.. daadi ugani hogi.. warna, nobody respects you.
Daadi hai to half your negotiation is already done with rural musalman village folk, even our lady officers cover their head in appropriate gear, and Col. sbs generally take crates full of mangoes, other fruit, rice, mithai.. the works. We not allowed to even glance at their women folk, even if they under full black garb.. or you get punished, brutally, to climb X or Y hill to recover a pair of shoes or some random shite lol.
