Following the attacks on Kashmiris in Jammu and torching of their vehicles in acts of arson by violent crowds in the city centre areas of the winter capital the Kashmiri students have been forced to flee from educational institutions in Dehradun, Chattisgarah and other parts of the country as if they represent the idea of militancy and not the idea of education in Kashmir.
Since the attacks in Jammu the winter capital of the state and other parts of the country are being carried out on Kashmiris obviously for taking the avenge of the deadly attack on CRPF convoy that resulted in the killing of 49 troopers on Srinagar-Jammu highway near Lethpora Pulwama on Friday last week, even naives can understand that the people attacking Kashmiri students outside Kashmir are identifying them (Kashmiri students) with the idea of militancy in Kashmir but not the idea of educational system in Kashmir and rest of India.
The central government and as well as state governments in rest of India have to understand that Kashmiri students outside Kashmir propagate the idea of education but the idea of Kashmir’s militancy in educational institutions outside Jammu and Kashmir in different parts of the country.
News channels in Delhi are silent over the causes of Lethpora attack and don’t bother to utter even a single word of sympathy for those Kashmiri students who for none of their faults have been forced to flee from the educational institutions in Dehradun, Chattisgarah and other parts of the country. Knowing that the killing of famed research scholars like late Manan Wani and others after joining militant ranks has already disillusioned and dejected the educated youth in Kashmir valley and further attacks on Kashmiri students outside Kashmir can take Kashmiri youth away from India’s mainland educational system to a point of no return, the Jammu and Kashmir Governor Satya Pal Malik should have taken up the issue of the security and safety of the Kashmiri students with the Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh and Union Minister for Human Resources Development Prakash Javedkar.
Though Governor Satya Pal Malik was expected to take up the issue of security and safety of Kashmiri students with the concerned State Governments immediately after receiving the reports about their fleeing from the educational institutions of different states of the country but the central government could have also taken up the issue with the concerned state governments on its own and sought explanations from them on the security and safety of Kashmiri students. Both the central government and as well as state governments in rest of India have to understand that Kashmiri students outside Kashmir propagate the idea of education but the idea of Kashmir’s militancy in educational institutions outside Jammu and Kashmir in different parts of the country.
