Reaction from around the world:

Kashmir

"Violence in any form is detestable. However, we need to address issues which lead to bloodshed anywhere in the world. Human blood should not flow in America, nor in Palestine, nor in Kashmir."

Abdul Gani Bhat,
chair of Kashmir's main separatist alliance.

DETESTABLE - very bad and deserving to be hated

BLOODSHED - when people are killed or injured

About KASHMIR: an area of India in which there is a very large Muslim population. There have been frequent disputes about this area between India and Pakistan, which borders on Kashmir

A SEPARATIST movement in a part of a country wants to become a separate country. Separatists in Kashmir want Kashmir to become separate from India.
