From Kashmir to Syria, Peshawar to Baghdad, humanity is now dead. Burhan Bashir Bhat, a three-year-old kid, in his death, has become a synonym for Aylan Kurdi — the three-year-old Syrian boy of Kurdish ethnic whose images brought about an onslaught of global outrage after he drowned in the Mediterranean Sea, as part of the great Syrian refugee crisis.

Burhan has now become the Aylan Kurdi of Kashmir. Amid tears and sobs, cries and shrieks, every eye was moist as Burhan’s funeral procession started for the final journey. He was laid to rest in martyrs’ graveyard next to his father in their home town Sopore in north Kashmir.

'Who killed Burhan?' is a question, everyone wants the answer to. Whether he was killed by militants or government-sponsored unknown gunmen, the inhuman act crossed all limits of brutality.
