Dear friend,
Title
"Still, I am waiting….a Half-widow”
Synopsis:
This is a story of missing people, boys and men who were picked up by security forces and then simply disappeared. The location is Kashmir. Sandwiched between India and Pakistan, Kashmir is a battleground for both. Since the men are missing, not declared dead their wives are not widows but half widows’ .The half widows need extraordinary courage in Living. Personally they live with the memories of their love. They have to suddenly switch From being the Woman in the veil at home to a Bread-earner.
“If they protested the disappearance, it could start a paper trail that would delay their son or daughter from being processed through the system, and it could quite possibly endanger their lives. On the other hand, is they decided to wait until their children were given back to them, without ever saying a word, they might be kept waiting forever."
Being a relative of a 'disappeared' person means above all emptiness; emptiness in the heart, emptiness in the home, in your day-to-day life. It means remembering every day. It also means being a person isolated from society, in a special category, because for most people 'disappearance' does not exist... But life must go on -not only for oneself but for the children while some are still caught in conflicts with their in-laws, the State, religion and day-to-day livelihood.
Their psychiatric problems add to the statistic that Kashmir has the highest number of psychotic patients in the world. These women are true survivors of a cruel period in the history of this paradise on earth. The first result of a society living in the midst of war is a sharp increase in Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PSDT) patients These women have not only lost their support but are also being marginalized and have no Status left in society. According to psychologists, total denial and repression is rare for children. Children also relive the event in another way than adults.
The disappeared person is a type of living-dead, because it's someone who is dead because you can say, 'he can't be alive', but on the other hand it doesn't give you the certainty that he is dead. He wasn't dead. He wasn't buried.
