A portion of Kashmiri's beleive they want to separate from India because they are Muslims. Now since if they say this, it will sound ridiculous, so they cover up with other things. Now not many people will join them so how to get them to join? They started using propaganda. This is how they start propaganda.
Step 1 Call for band or procession on some reasons. Example lie that Quran was disrespected, that is quickest way to get started.
Step 2 Create trouble by throwing stones and wait for security forces to make mistake. E.g. A child got killed by tear gas, everyone knows tear gas is not agressive.
Step 3 Distort things to make Indians look bad, does not matter how much you need to falsify. Example declare vigins as raped.
Step 4 add more fire to protest try you level best to increase killed counts.
Step 5 Create propaganda materials, photoshop etc to make the incidence look bad. Spread it to recruit terrorist.
In all this innocent Kashmiri and armed personal gets killed. But its OK because I get paid.
How to fool people with strong religious beliefs.
