People in Indian-controlled Kashmir have observed India's Republic Day as Black Day. This, in protest at New Delhi's refusal to grant Kashmiris the right to self-determination. As Press TV’s Syed Ali Safvi reports, much of the disputed region was paralyzed by a shutdown called by pro-independence groups.
