Bashir Ahmad Mir’s life is marked with tragedy. It is that experience which pushed him to help others who have suffered similarly. Mir’s father was an active political worker of the National Conference in Kashmir in the 1990s. Over the course of a few months in 1998, Mir lost his father, two uncles and his brother to militant violence. He was shot in the face multiple times and recovery took a year. In November 1999, he set up the Human Aid Society (HAS) to help other victims of violence in Kashmir.
