The rampant use of pellet guns has destroyed the lives of several thousand people, but New Delhi still considers it a 'non-lethal' weapon. Here's a view from the hospital where the newest victim, a toddler, was treated.

Some white exhaust smoke is normal, especially when you first start the car. Condensation can turn to vapor, providing what looks like white exhaust. But excessive white smoke likely means coolant is leaking into the engine combustion chambers. This is usually caused by one or more of the following problems.

SRINAGAR, India-administered Kashmir — Twenty-month-old Heeba is one of the youngest victims of India's recent clampdown on protesters in the disputed Kashmir region.

On November 25, the Indian paramilitary forces shot at Heeba using a pellet gun, a volley of round metal balls puncturing her right eye.

TRT World meets Heeba at a local hospital in Srinagar, the capital city of India-administered Kashmir.

Heeba struggles with pain. Her mother, Mursala Jan tries her best to comfort her, sometimes with a candy or roasted chickpeas.

On the morning of November 25, Jan and her children were at home in south Kashmir's Shopian district. Outside, people were protesting against India's rule as a firefight between local rebels and Indian armed forces raged.

The police fired several rounds of tear gas shells to quell the protests, heavily polluting the air. Jan and her children felt shortness of breath and a choking sensation.

“Thesecond storey of our house has no windows, so a lot of tear gas smoke came inside,” says Jan.

The 25-year-old mother grabbed her children, made an attempt to leave the neighbourhood and save her family from suffocation.

But the moment she opened her front door, she heard a loud bang.

'I shut the door back, but pellets already ripped through the door net,' she said. 'Some pellets hit my right hand and some hit Heeba's right eye.'

Jammu and Kashmir is a Muslim-majority region with several districts and provinces. It's a disputed territory between India and Pakistan since the British left the subcontinent in 1947. Both countries are controlling parts of this Himalayan region.

Heeba is one of the latest victims of this long-standing dispute. The United Nations has called for a plebiscite, but both India and Pakistan have failed to agree on having one.

Doctors say Heeba is now suffering from 'corneal perforation.'

“Perforation by pellet has led to vitreous haemorrhage and traumatic cataract,' said a doctor who has been treating Heeba for the last few days. 'Though she’s showing good improvement, we can’t say anything right now about the eyesight. There’s possibility she might regain 40-60 percent of vision, but first we'll have to see if her retina is in a good shape or not.”

Heeba will have to undergo another surgery this week. If it succeeds, the doctors can ascertain whether she can regain her full vision.

From 2016, at least 1,400 eye injuries inflicted by Indian armed forces have been reported in the ophthalmology department of Srinagar's SMHS Hospital, where Heeba is also receiving her treatment.

A pellet gun is a pump-action shotgun, commonly used for hunting, which fires a cartridge containing up to 500 small round or irregular shaped lead balls. Once shot, the cartridge bursts and the pellets disperse in all directions with high velocity.

The Indian government considers the pellet gun a ‘non-lethal’ weapon, even though it has killed at least 14 people and damaged the eyes of several thousand people since its introduction in 2010.

Psalm 119:83
For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget your statutes.

The wine-bottles of the East were skins. Rosenmüller tells us that it was a custom of the ancients to hang skins of wine in the smoke of a fire, for very much the same reason that we stand a bottle of claret on the hearth, in order to mellow the wine by a gradual and moderate warmth, and to bring it to an earlier perfection. And in that custom the psalmist finds an illustration of the meaning, and of the mercy, of the afflictions to which he has been exposed. They have been sent to act on him like the warm smoke on the wine - to refine, mellow, and ripen his character; and because, under them all, he has refused to part with his faith in God and duty; because he has been true to God and God's statutes, they have had their intended and proper effect upon him (S. Cox). This explanation gives a fresh suggestion to the text, but it may be doubted whether the mood of the psalmist is fairly represented by it. The older view seems more in harmony with the general tone of the stanza. Though, under the severe pressures of trial and affliction, the good man shrinks and wastes and blackens like a wine-skin hung in the smoke of the chimney, he still remembers the Divine statutes, and holds fast his faith in God and duty. What seems to be in mind is a long waiting-time, which was also a time of suffering and strain. The watching for God was prolonged; no response seemed to come; much had to be borne while he was waiting; he seemed to get dry, shriveled, and blackened, like the wine-skin in the chimney that had waited so long (and seemed to get tired of waiting, even as he did) for the moisture and refreshing of being used, and filled again with wine. But the question of supreme importance was this - What was he doing during this hard waiting-time? He has the joy of this confident assurance - he was holding fast his integrity; he was keeping on his obedience and trust; he was persistently ordering his life according to the Divine statutes.
I. WAITING-TIMES ARE A PART OF THE DIVINE AFFLICTIVE DISPENSATIONS. It sometimes seems as if God would do more for a man by making him wait than by making him suffer.
II. WAITING-TIMES HAVE A PECULIAR INFLUENCE ON A MAN'S SPIRIT. It may be represented by the effect of smoke on an empty wine-skin.
III. WAITING-TIMES SHOULD THROW US UPON THE COMFORTING AND STRENGTHENING OF THE DIVINE WORD. Everything for us depends on the cherished moods of our waiting-times. - R.T.
KJV: For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes.

WEB: For I have become like a wineskin in the smoke. I don't forget your statutes.
