convoy from conducting the operation

School kids in
Kashmir
• Here in the picture we can see a
student of 2nd class who’s not been
able to go to school since 5th
August’19.
• In his rhyme, He’s comparing himself
to other students who are
complaining about not going to school
since the lockdown.
• He agrees to every guideline by WHO
and wants to continue his schooling.
• We can see here how students are
facing problems.
Issue of Ladakh

• People from outside can

purchase land in Ladakh.
• This may adversely affect
Ladakh’s ecological balance.
• Sudden spate of resource
extraction, exploitation and
expansion of tourism
activities may push regional
ecosystems over the brink.
 Conclusion

• The foremost challenge is rebuilding trust the Centre should work more on perception management
through soft measures instead of adopting a hard-line approach.

• The Union government should follow the footsteps of their previous successors such as Bajpayee’s
doctrine of 'Insaniyat, Jamhuriyat, Kashmiriyat’.

• Kashmiris must revisit their centrifugal tendencies like separatism and militancy and learn from other
nation states in the world that are adopting a more integrational approach in demanding rights.

• The government must immediately lift the internet blackout in all educational institutions.

• The Centre must realise that now is the time to renew India’s ties with the region by initiating a series
of serious and sincere interlocution measures to win over the confidence of the alienated Kashmiris.
