India has been approving an enormous amount of building projects in the disputed territory of Kashmir in recent years.
Since revoking laws that granted Kashmir autonomy, Narendra Modi's government has had new powers to build on and populate the land.
Channel 4 News explores the impact of these projects and the extent of a growing military presence using data gathered by Forensic Architecture and Forensis, to investigate claims by some Kashmiris that Modi’s government is trying to tighten its grip on the region by bringing more Hindus into India’s only Muslim-majority region.
India says this is all part of a plan to improve the lives of Kashmiri people.
Produced by Matthew Lucas, Milena Dambelli, Mahnoor Akhlaq and Girish Juneja
