An apple tree takes a decade to mature. In Kashmir's Budgam, thousands were cut in 24 hours, as the government—in its rush to evict Muslim tribals from land they have used for generations—held back a protective forest law and ignored a Supreme Court stay.

Kanidajen, Budgam: On a cold November morning, Abdul Gani Wagay was home when he heard that men with axes had come to cut his precious apple trees, which he had grown for nearly half a century, since his father first taught him how.

Like many villagers here in this central Kashmir apple-growing area, 50 km north of capital Srinagar, Wagay tried to rush to his 0.06 acres of land, but the men from the forest department were accompanied by the police and the paramilitary Central Reserve Police Force.

“That’s when I realised something was wrong,” said Wagay, 60, whose apples were the only source of income for his family of seven daughters. “I had only 50 trees in my orchards, and that was all I had.”

Working all day on 10 November, around 50 officials and workers of the Jammu and Kashmir forest department cut about 10,000 apple trees, according to Mohammed Ahsan, the village head, threatening police cases against anyone who tried to intervene. Apple tree trunks are slim and can be felled with a couple of blows from an axe.
