Kaafir Web Series Review
That strain of patriotism is voiced through various backing characters, which have no lost love for Pakistan and are influenced that its entire people are originated from the same place. The lines are drawn even in the prison, where Pakistani and Indian prisoners decline to sit next to each other.
The faults that exist in Kashmir go further than the territorial argument between Pakistan and India, but the show does not deal with these nuances. Some events in the show are extreme, particularly when it comes to the operations of the legal system and the military establishment.
