The tipping point of Aakhir Kab Tak came in December 2021, with the death of General Bipin Rawat, India’s first Chief of Defence Staff. Across Kashmir, people lit candles in his memory, a tribute that strengthened the peace movement. General Rawat had selected Major General Sanjay P Vishwasrao for Kashmir in December 2020 to implement the Kashmir Tricolour Revolution Strategy for Peace. In 2022, angered by Pakistan’s continued violence, Kashmiris burnt Pakistan’s flag and tore down the Hurriyat’s signboard in Srinagar.
