As people across the country try to make sense of everything, a trend has been noticed on social media where they are sharing a red square to show solidarity with Kashmir.
The trend started yesterday after the government announced a shut-down across the state and stopped all internet and communications services.
This was before any kind of announcement and created a sense of confusion in the people. To show support to the people of Kashmir in the time of uncertainty, social media users started sharing a plain red picture.
But why the colour red? As per the post, this is the answer:
Red is the colour of our blood. Red is the colour of our history. Red is all of us.
