That means there is about one soldier for every 20 Kashmiris.  (Sumana is also incompetent.) - Sumana and Yasmin discuss Ladakh, a disputed territory in Kashmir. It's confusing, we know, but here's a link to an article that may help clear up some of the confusion! https://www.reuters.com/article/us-india-kashmir-restructuring-explainer/explainer-indias-kashmir-region-set-to-lose-autonomy-divided-idUSKBN1X9175 Recorded on Nov. 4
