4. Human Rights Record
Documenting the Human Cost
This must be a rigorous, source-led section rather than an emotional statistics page.
Create separate data categories for:
Civilian Deaths Injuries Detentions & Arrests Disappearances Sexual Violence Restrictions on Media & Communication Political Detention Property and Demolition Cases Restrictions on Civil Liberties
For every statistic, the website should show:
Number → Period Covered → Geographic Scope → Source → Last Updated
Where reputable organisations report different figures, present the range or clearly identify the source rather than merging incompatible datasets.

5. People, Leaders & Turning Points

Profiles may be grouped by:
Kashmiri Political Leadership Intellectual & Religious Figures Diplomatic Figures Human-Rights Voices Historical Personalities
Each profile:
Photograph Name Period Role Why the individual matters Related events and documents
