Nah, it's a narrative that has been built around the use of pellet guns and even live ammunition on civilians who are exercising their right to peaceful protest. Surely a 19-month-old cannot be a "Stone pelter"?
By creating a war-like hysteria in the country, India gets away with doing absurd things: make people believe they are perpetually at war with someone (Pakistan, the muslims, the illegal immigrants, etc) and you can justify bizarre things like firing at civilians, cow terrorism, etc
You're missing the point. There have been people protesting (for good reason, because Kashmir is not a part of India) and using footages of stone pelters to shoot children is the issue I'm talking about.
