Spineless Dastards

Born amidst the breathtaking beauty of Kashmir, Ummer Fayaz Parray grows up as the beloved son of a humble apple farmer, a young man blessed with courage, integrity and dreams far larger than the valley he calls home. Driven by an unwavering desire to serve his country, he overcomes formidable odds to earn a commission in the Indian Army, becoming a source of pride for his family and an inspiration to countless others.

But in a land scarred by fear, extremism and divided loyalties, success comes at a price.

When a joyous family celebration turns into a nightmare, Ummer finds himself face to face with a hatred he has never embraced and a cruelty he never imagined. What follows is a heart-rending account of love, sacrifice, betrayal and loss that leaves an entire nation asking difficult questions about humanity, courage and the true cost of violence.

Based on the life and martyrdom of Lieutenant Ummer Fayaz, Spineless Dastards is a powerful and emotionally charged tribute to a young officer whose greatest strength was not the uniform he wore, but the values he lived by.
