At last something positive

The pain and suffering of our brethren must end, and at last there is a ray of hope. The day i started this blog , i have found something positive coming out from Kashmir. Schools have started and life is returning to normalcy. Here is an interesting article

Come together, for J&K students’ sake

Kashmiris appeal to State government, rebels for incident-free civil services exams


A day after Centre advised Jammu and Kashmir to open schools, State Education Minister Peerzada Mohammad Sayeed on Sunday announced a comprehensive plan for restarting the learning process and holding of annual examinations in the Valley.


“All education institutes will function without any hindrance from Monday. The State will facilitate students’ commute, and their ID cards will be treated as curfew passes,” Sayeed said. Educationists have appealed to the State, and to the separatists, to ensure that the civil services examinations are conducted in the Valley next week without a hitch.

The major grouse of Kashmiris is lack of employment, and to disrupt civil services exams would be the biggest disservice to the region.

Students have asked the Hurriyat to modify its ‘protest calender’, while the State has been requested to the clampdown. School teacher Altaf Bhat said, “While common people are the biggest losers in the tussle between State and the separatists, students are the worst-hit.”

State Education Minister Peerzada Mohammad Sayeed, school children demand their right to education and peace in the Valley


A University student, Parwaiz Reshi, said the State and rebels must come together. “They say students are Kashmir’s future. Can’t they come together for our sake?” he asked.

However, Hurriyat Conference leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani has asked parents not to send their wards to schools and colleges. “No right thinking person can deny the importance of education in society, but to think that they (government) are concerned about the future of our children is like a mad man's dream,” Geelani said.
