“The Kashmir Files” presents a dark picture of not just the sheer violence that was unleashed in the period of 1990 by Pakistan-backed Islamic terrorists when rivers of blood and screams filled the once serene and beautiful valley of Kashmir and turned it into a hell scape but it also features another kind of war being carried out in Kashmir.
