An upcoming Bollywood film has provoked outrage among victims of pellet gun violence in Indian-administered Kashmir (a disputed Himalayan region controlled in parts by both India and Pakistan), with critics accusing its makers of trivialising serious injuries suffered by civilians. The film 'Chauhaan', starring actor Ajay Devgn as an Indian security official, features a teaser in which pellet guns are described as inflicting only 'limited damage' — a characterisation that victims and analysts say mocks the more than 1,000 Kashmiris who have lost their vision, partially or completely, since India introduced the weapons in 2010 to suppress street protests. The Indian government has long defended pellet guns as a non-lethal alternative to live ammunition, but rights groups including the United Nations have condemned their use, particularly against children, who account for an estimated 14 percent of those injured.
