A video of suspected Kashmiri militants playing cricket went viral on social media on Thursday.&nbsp;

The five-minute-long video shows five young men playing cricket in what appears to be an orchard.&nbsp;

They use an AK47 as the bowler&#39;s wicket.&nbsp;

The video (above) appears to have been shot in south Kashmir.&nbsp;

The video is propaganda, which the militancy in Kashmir has used to powerful effect.&nbsp;

Thursday&#39;s video has been released two days after the attack on the Amarnath Yatra pilgrims, in which seven people died and 15 were injured.&nbsp;

It is impossible to say if the video was released because of the attack.&nbsp;

But it is important to mention that the attack on the pilgrims was denounced by every section of Kashmiri society -- the politicians, the leaders of the Hurriyat, and civil society.

In Srinagar, students, traders, and civil society groups took out a rally to protest against the attack.&nbsp;

In the video, the young men appear relaxed, looking like they are enjoying their game of cricket.&nbsp;

An Urdu song plays in the background. Translated, it says:&nbsp;

&quot;I hate sin, I am a fidayeen of my faith 
I fight the unjust of my times 
You pretend to be a gentleman, but you love the non-believer 
More than Islam, you love sin&nbsp; 
You hate the resistance, you love democracy&quot;

Photographs of militants or videos like this one spread quickly.&nbsp;

A 2015 &quot;group photograph&quot; of Burhan Wani -- along with 10 other young men posing for the camera in an orchard like the one in this video -- had also gone viral.&nbsp;

The video looks like it might have been shot in South Kashmir
