Matters for Kashmiris residing in India have aggravated to a frightening level as Kashmiri students enrolled in Indian universities have been expelled and sent home in various incidents of mob violence and anger after the Pulwama attack.A protesting mob in Uttarakhand capital Dehradun, having members of student unions said that they don't want even one Kashmiri in the city. Vikas Verma of Bajrang Dal (religious militant organisation) leader in Dehradun, said, “We don’t want even one Kashmiri Muslim student in Uttarakhand because they are engaged in anti-national activities.”At least 10 Kashmiri students have been booked and 24 suspended or rusticated from colleges across the country for allegedly putting “anti-national” posts on social media.One college, namely the Dehradun-based Alpine College of Management and Technology, admitted that it had suspended a dean, from Jammu and Kashmir, because the mob had demanded for it. Several colleges have admitted that they are encouraging students from Kashmir return to the Valley until “things settle down.”Circumstances for Kashmiri students have become highly egregious in India as at least 800 Kashmiri students have left the hill state Uttarakhand, according to Nasir Khuehami, spokesperson of Jammu and Kashmir Students’ Organisation.When asked, the students denied publishing any anti-Indian social media posts: “I didn’t post anything against the country on social media. All of us are clueless what is to follow, whether we will be taken back in the university or not, we don’t know”.
