The aim of the game is to highlight the oppression faced by unarmed Kashmiris, to raise awareness for organisations that are struggling for freedom and against ever increasing Indian brutality in the region.
The song was sung and composed by Aqeel Ahmed with lyrics by Dr Umair Haroon.
On 8 July 2016, freedom fighter Burhan Wani was brutally assassinated by Indian forces.
