It tells together the stories of Kashmiris living in Delhi trying to pursue their studies, business or professions but inevitably getting caught in the frames of distorted images constructed by the media and the law. It exposes the complicity of these pillars of democracy in lowering human rights standards in the name of war against terror. The author weaves his own story about how overnight he lost all his other identities and became the brother of a terrorist when his older brother, S A R Geelani, was picked up by Delhi police's Special Cell and framed in the Parliament attack case and sentenced to death. Despite the fact that both the Delhi High Court and Supreme Court acquitted Geelani of the charges, he remained imprisoned by the image of the Kashmiri as terrorist. This book will be useful to anyone interested in media studies or criminal jurisprudence and to those who have concern for the future of Indian democracy and secularism.
