Agony of a divided people

Kashmir. The river is called Neelam in Pakistan and Kishanganga in India. On about 4 or 5 days in a month the border is opened to let in a few lucky people who get visas to cross over. Those who don't, gather on the banks of the river with two names hoping to see their families. Even trying to throw gifts to them. These people are on the right bank, which is in Pakistan.
