Stone pelting in Kashmir

Stone pelting in Kashmir refers to stone throwing by Kashmiris on the Indian forces and Jammu and Kashmir Police deployed for crowd control in Jammu and Kashmir to support the separatist insurgents. In the local language, it is known as Kanni Jung, which means "fighting with stones", and the stone pelters are known as Sangbaaz or Pathraw Player. However, in the recent past the number of stone pelting incidents has dropped significantly.
