Iam a medical student and I know its impossible that a fetus is born with broken arm after trauma and beating.Its impossible.Child was born with a broken arm? Ever heard of birth traumas to fetus? Just imagine,baby lies in a sac of liquid amniotic fluid,any trauma would burst the sac and abortion would occur,not broken arm.Its a ridiculous allegation.Iam sure the baby has broken arm because of birth trauma,which is common especially in 1st degree contracted pelvis is present.But i dont buy the allegation which is totally ridiculous —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.158.33.64 ( talk) 12:50, 2 May 2011 (UTC)
I have went ahead and deleted a section from aftermath with cited reference to rising kashmir as reference which is not a reliable source for unbaised article..If anyone finds better references,please add to the aftermath section. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.158.33.64 ( talk) 13:31, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

The NYTimes link points to a crackdown incident in a Srinagar neighbourhood which is almost 50miles away from the villages of Kunan Poshpora that this is alleged incident is attributed to. This is a war zone, like Islamic state, with competing ideologies. DawoodMalla ( talk) 20:12, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
The Content as of this revision with time stamp 16:50, 25 February 2019 is fully sourced, if someone has problem with the content then it should be discussed here. -- DBig Xrayᗙ 11:22, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
ShivSahil restored a version that was written misrepresenting the sources as a WP:SOAPBOX. You are expected to share your specific concerns with evidence. You are free to disagree and raise issues here on the talk page. You should read the sources in detail first before responding. -- DBig Xrayᗙ 14:49, 24 May 2019 (UTC)
The NYTimes link points to a crackdown incident in a Srinagar neighbourhood which is in central Kashmir, almost 50miles away from the villages of Kunan Poshpora which is in North Kashmir.
The entire first paragraph and attribution of this alleged incident is predicated on a primary source that happens in different region. This post makes it appear, and misleads, that the primary source reporter was in Kunan poshpora. That is not true the NYTimes reporter was not anywhere near Kunan Poshpora. She was in Srinagar City. This is just hearsay. Maybe another reason foreign reporters are not allowed inside Kashmir.

Kunan Poshpora incident has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
Data about this incident is decreased time to time. The reality is, more than 160 women were gang raped by security forces that day. The adminstration is taking the numbers down to erase this incident from the history. 2405:201:5503:4C2C:2857:6D1D:1F87:814E ( talk) 13:28, 22 October 2021 (UTC)
Figures from a The Diplomat article were added recently here: "Around 300 army personnel raided the village, 150 girls and women were raped that night and 200 men were tortured; only 40 women who were raped stepped forward to seek justice."
It is from The Diplomat book review of Do You Remember Kunan Poshpora?, but I could not find these figures in the reviewed book itself nor find where The Diplomat's columnist Priyanka Borpujari has cited them from. Another contention here is the fact that the statement was added as absolute fact without attribution (The Diplomat itself uses phrases like "As many as" ... "nearly").
For the lack of better sources ( WP:HISTRS outlines what we would be needing here, noting that while essays are not policy they are precedential guidelines and HISTRS definitively so) I removed that para especially seeing the contentious topic area ( WP:ARBIPA) and article (already under EPP). We would need better sources to add the material and would need to attribute the source in-text. Gotitbro ( talk) 04:05, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
