What is behind the recent surge in violence in Kashmir?

Al Jazeera  

Spate of suspected rebel attacks and crackdown by Indian security forces since early October leaves 33 people dead in the region. A surge in violence in Indian-administered Kashmir in recent weeks, including a spate of suspected rebel attacks on civilians and a widespread crackdown by security forces, has left at least 33 people dead in the heavily militarised region since early October. On Sunday, suspected rebels shot at three migrant workers in Kashmir’s Kulgam district, killing two and wounding one, a day after two labourers from northern India were gunned down in two separate incidents. Indian security forces have launched a wide crackdown, killing 13 rebels in the last two weeks in multiple operations across the Kashmir valley.
