You have got NGOs and then you have got NGOs. And then you have one that is run by a guy who seems to really want to make a difference. No socialites or leftists agendas or padded bills etc. Seems like an NGO called “Sarhad” run by Sanjay Nahar who brings children from troubled parts of India to the safe havens in Maharashtra (thankfully Raj Thakray has kept his trap shut about this), houses them and gets them enrolled in local schools. He did that for children in Punjab back in the day. Now he has turned his focus on a state that has been screwed royally by Pakistani terrorists, local criminal demagogues and Congress led inept leaders i.e. J&K. Now from the footage of the youth we get to see are the stone pelting desi intifada guys. I was glad to hear that all this does not influence a whole lot of Muslim children from the state. In fact the ones in question are normal kids with normal worries and interests like careers, safety, Amitabh Bachchan, politics even joining the Indian defence forces. Yes. A girl wants to join the IAF while the terrorist leaders would have you believe that all the Indian Defence personnel do there is kill and rape. A lot of these kids want to stay back in Maharashtra and become professionals. It really is heart warming. I tip my hat to Sanjay Nahar. I will find a way to contribute to this guys NGO.However, what he is doing should have been the Government of India policy. Using the NGOs or social welfare departments, they should have been identifying children who want better things from life than joining the terrorists under some pipe dream of unifying with a failed terrorist outfit called Pakistan. After doing that, these children should have been brought over to other parts of the country, then housed and educated. These kids should be allowed to see the real India. Not the India they get to hear from their paki paid leaders. I am not talking about population dilution like the Chinese have done in their minority areas. I am talking about genuinely winning the hearts and minds of J&K Muslims (Yes. Even forgetting all the atrocity they have inflicted on hapless Hindus). That is the only way to win this war.
How ill we pay for all this? You see, the amount of taxpayer money spent in J&K is (proportionately) far more than most other states. Some of that money could be held back for educating J&K youth provided they come and study in any of the other states. Some of these kids have liked their new surroundings so much that they do not want to go back.
With information and exposure, we need these kids to realize that their real future is with India not with the failed terrorist state of Pakistan, a country which is having trouble retaining their own talented people.
