Omar Abdullah

This is one of those conversations that stays with you. The Chief Minister of Jammu & Kashmir sat down with Umar and simply talked — about childhood, his daily routine, the things that stress him out, the mistakes he has made, and what it actually feels like to run a place as complicated as Kashmir. No talking points, no press-conference armour. Just an honest hour on politics, peace, climate and where the valley's young people go from here.
