This is actually an excellent gesture. Although I like to see Jihadis roasted alive, sometimes we need to remember local youths as young as 16 years are often misled to pick up arms by luring them in drugs, easy money, fame, and the biggest, booty.
Once they have participated in some Jihadi activity like throwing a grenade or killing security forces, there is no turning back as being 72ed is the only way out.
Remember the Kashmiri muslims are not heavily radicalized in the name of Islam like that of Pak Punjab, or even Kerala.
With these gestures coming into the picture, as well as rapid infrastructure development taking place in J&K and it is connected with the rest of the country, local population will see the futility of the armed struggle and slowly accept the reality. Well, still some 20-30 years away, that is.
