Kashmir- The paradise on earth. The creator has endowed it with abundance beauty. The valley of sparkling rivers, splendid gardens, snow-capped peaks of magnificent mountains and meadows covered with beautiful flowers. I have been there once. If you visit it once, it surely will leave indelible imprints on your heart. Especially Srinagar, the city of lakes. Anyone would love to study there, in the heaven, in the Kashmir.
By hearing NIT-Srinagar, everyone would fantasize a campus in the lap of nature, furnished with the beauty of snow covered mountains. In actual also, the campus is one of the most beautiful campus in India. So a virtual tour of NIT-Srinagar would be similar to aforesaid.
Now, imagine a situation, you are studying miles away from your home. In your own country but being seen as an outsider. Living in a sphere of people having more affiliation with another country. Facing a strong aversion in your country, for some people, in their own state. You used to celebrate when your country won, but here you cannot even show that happiness. You do have pride for your nation, but you cannot express it. This is what a real situation of the campus lying in the nature's lap.
An incident happened here couple of days ago. When the whole India was shocked by India's defeat in semifinal, a celebration was going on in NIT-Srinagar. The next day, students, who are seen as outsiders there, hoisted tri-color in campus and chanted 'Bharat Mata ki Jay' to oppose it. After that, students who tried to be proud Indians were assaulted brutally. They are getting threats from day-scholars. Even teachers are threatening them. They cannot go out of their hostels. Local residents threatening them of a death. Situation is really frightening there. They indeed need a support armed as well as psychological.
Now, the question here lies is can't you even hoist national flag in your institution, in your country, especially when it is declared an institute having national importance. Pro-Pakistan and anti-India slogans are chanted there and when you chant a national slogan, you are assaulted brutally. They need to be reminded that Kashmir is an integrated part of India. Those students did nothing wrong by hoisting national flag and chanting national slogan.
Let us support them and ask government to take necessary steps to assuage situation there. At the last, We, The whole country is with you nationalists.
