There seems to be a strong undercurrent among youths in J&K to somehow get associated and become part of national mainstream that too defying all odds and prejudices inculcated against country.Visible signs are the increasing participation of youths in all India competitive examinations which were earlier a taboo as it was considered serving India. There were times when only KAS was considered as viable option but increasing number of successful applicants each year paints a different picture pleasant to all. The ever increasing euphoria to participate and serve country is extremely positive development for the nationalist forces. There had been a concerted effort and malicious propaganda to defame India and create a wedge in people's physique ongoing for decades. The radical forces who tries to force there writ on common Kashmiris won't be pleased to see such bridges of hope and reconciliation. It only strengthens the belief to directly increase engagement with masses rather then the chosen few impersonating as leaders with unknown and untested popularity. It's however funny and paradoxical, the same impersonators(leaders) are themselves shamelessly & silently receiving the generosity offered by GOI as revealed by AS Dulat in his recent book.While preaching sacrifice to locals in valley stalwarts of Hurriyat like SAS Geelani or Yaseen Malik have no hesitation in accepting money incurred on medicare by GOI . What's most startling, the gem of all is the revelation on Syed Salahuddin who seek favor to get his son into Medical College in Srinagar .These separatists who are hailed as heroes by few and Pakistan belligerently propagate contempt, inducing youths to blatantly oppose India even justifying violence to achieve there nefarious goals.
The same separatists who provoke youths to prepare themselves for supreme sacrifice seek completely different treatment for themselves and there families,it reminds me of a George Orwell's book "Animal Farm" where governance through "seven principles (also termed as seven commandments) of animalism" (one of which was all animals are equal ) was to be executed, which gradually gets reduced to single principle i.e single commandment in the end reading "All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others "
The dolt in the picture is known for abusing and accusing Indian Army for all the ills in Kashmir, giving provocative speeches from Azadi to stopping Amarnath yatra. He is engineer Rashid, MLA from Langate.
It is in this context we must applaud the open defiance of youths who have now finally started to see through and refused to toe the line of separatists.It is heartening to see a paradigm shift among the youth a new aspiring generation that refused to participate in the path towards abyss and destruction but towards the path of peace and prosperity.This generation shift isn't confined to urban places but all across Kashmir even in terrorism prone areas. On political stage people like Sajjad lone, Hina Bhat, Farooq Khan are the new voices emerging from valley with inclusive ideology that's never heard before are welcome signs of exuberant future of Kashmir .
