August has been merciless in Jammu and Kashmir. Three times in less than two weeks, the skies split open and entire communities were left counting their dead.

In Kishtwar, Kathua, and Doda, cloudbursts swept away homes, roads, and lives with an ease that felt like repetition.

The pattern was chilling in its familiarity.

Sudden sheets of rain, a roar of water and stone, families scrambling to escape, and rescue teams rushing in when it was already too late.
