Brisk Voting In Troubled Torn Kashmir

HAJIN, KASHMIR - NOVEMBER 25: A view of a closed market during a strike, decorated with festoons of different political parties on the first phase of assembly elections on November 25, 2014 in Hajin, north of Srinagar, the summer capital of Indian administered Kashmir. Thousand of voters linedup outside polling stations in Jammu and Kashmir to cast their votes, while large number of Indian troops were deployed on the streets of Kashmir to stop the protest as the resistance leaders had asked people to stay away from elections and called for complete shutdown in the areas. However polling stations remained under tight security in the first phase of assembly elections. The five-phased polls in Jammu and Kashmir will end on December 20 and the results would be announced on December 23 . (Photo by Yawar Nazir/Getty Images)
