Stories from Amarnath

We see the religious and political environment around the Amarnath yatra in chapters. Starting with a photographer - what he saw, experienced and photographed a few years ago and what it is now. The questions about the violence in Kashmir and the helplessness. Then the angler - who has trekked these mountains from his childhood - the change in the water, the insects, the flora and the fauna. The chronicler, the mythology and the activists. The journalists, the hosts, the ghodawalas, the shopkeepers and the locals. The horses, the separatists, the loss and then of course, we end it with Nasir Malik, one of the most knowledgeable environmentalists. He takes us on his own journey far from the yatra but every word he says resonates with the larger picture. And through them all, we let the viewer choose their own journey. For or against.
