Undaunted: Lt. Ummer Fayaz of Kashmir

9 May 2017. Lt. Ummer Fayaz was brutally murdered by armed militants in Kashmir while he was back home, attending a wedding in the family. The death sent a nation into shock, and immortalised the memory of a young man with conviction beyond his years.

In his brief, inspiring life, Ummer joined the army to set an example and galvanise fellow Kashmiris to move beyond the cycle of violence that unrest in the state had forced them into.

Deeply researched and told with feeling, Undaunted is the extraordinary story of an extraordinary life.

Ummer epitomises ƒ??Kashmiryatƒ?? in its truest sense and will go down in the history as a hero who chose to serve the nation, against all odds.
