Kashmiri Shiites Mark Muharram Mourning - India

A Kashmiri Shiite man carries a Palestinian flag during a Muharram procession in Srinagar, Jammu and Kashmir, on July 4, 2025, the eighth day of the Islamic holy month. Part of the 10-day Ashura mourning period, the event commemorates the martyrdom of Imam Hussain. Dressed in black, participants engage in chest-beating and recite elegies as expressions of grief and solidarity. The inclusion of political symbols like the Palestinian flag reflects the intersection of religious devotion and political sentiment in a region marked by heightened sensitivities and security measures.
