Umar in ward 16A is not sleeping, he is just keeping his eyes closed. The twelve year old boy was on his way home from a Quran class in Pulwama, south of Srinagar, when he suddenly had a procession of protestors on one of his sides and armed military forces on the other. Umars life will never be the same, and at the hospital he is surrounded by patients with similar damages. Many of them are wearing dark shades – others have their faces wrapped in bandages with huge cotton balls fixed in and around their eyes.
