Significance
Kashmir has witnessed violent public protests and clashes with security forces since the killing of Hizbul Mujahideen leader Burhan Wani on July 8 by Indian security forces. At least 58 people have already been killed and over 3,000 injured, and the violence show few signs of diminishing.
Impacts
The economic impact of the Kashmir unrest is likely to be locally concentrated.
Regional economic gains, especially in the tourism and agricultural sectors, will be set back.
India-Pakistan peace talks, necessary for a long-term solution in Kashmir, will be hampered by hawks on both sides.
