Notes on Jennifer Walshe, Tomomi Adachi and the People's United Telepathic Improvisation Front

Zubin Mehta's Kashmir Peace Concert, "Ehsas-e-Kashmir," a Diplomatic Nightmare as Five are Wounded
In the hours before the concert, security forces deployed in the city as part of a major operation by the army, paramilitary forces and police to protect the event shot and wounded a motorist who they said failed to obey orders to stop. Meanwhile, in south Kashmir, security forces said they shot four men to thwart an attack on a paramilitary base.
