Riot police from the Jammu and Kashmir Armed Police (JKAP) participate in a passing out parade at The Manigam Ganderbal Training Centre at Ganderbal some 34kms northeast of Srinagar. The mountainous, Muslim-majority region of Kashmir was split in two in the aftermath of independence on the subcontinent when British rule ended in 1947. Both India and Pakistan claim the whole territory, which is divided by the de facto border known as the Line of Control. A separatist insurgency against Indian rule in the Himalayan state that began in 1989 has claimed more than 47,000 lives, according to official figures. Seperatists put the toll twice as high.
