When normal outlets of human expression remain choked, catharsis finds its likely way - either through slogans or rocks or violent other means. There are reasons why despite the establishment of a 'democratic' political order in Jammu & Kashmir, the anger on its streets remains. The fundamental reason is political. There is a feeling of political and economic disempowerment. Kashmiri youth, faced with a strong state and its security apparatus, also nurse feelings of helplessness and powerlessness. Dissent, peaceful or otherwise, has almost always meant persecution. The cumulative result is accumulated anger. The fourth generation of Kashmiris is today doing what the first generation did some 60-70 years ago; they are venting their anger and frustration with the political system through street resistance. Having no platform for expressing their political opinion, they resort to hurling stones. The paper is based on field study in Srinagar. where stone pelting is frequent.

Abstract
The topic spirituality at work is becoming increasingly important in the scientific management research, while various concepts of and approaches to new work are attracting more and more attention regarding for instance the trend toward a knowledge society, digitalization, increasingly intense competition, and uncertain market and working environments, or aspects of demographic changes especially in corporate practice. These two discussion strands currently run separately; I seek to connect them. I outline the contributions and impacts of the scientific discussion about spirituality at work for the challenges discussed in corporate practice conversation on new work regarding rapid innovation, agility, and continual change, employee retention, and meaning and purpose on the example of the healthcare industry, particularly nursing.
Based on initial results on German employer and employee perspectives on spirituality at work, I show that spirituality at work can positively contribute to employees dealing with uncertainty and persistent change in agile work settings, promote employee creativity, and employee retention and employer attractiveness, especially among younger members of Generation Y. Thus, spirituality at work is a resource for both employees and employers. Finally, I discuss spirituality at works' double-edged sword character and its suitability for HRM in broadly secularized Germany.
