JAMMU AND KASHMIR-Students and Politics

JAMMU AND KASHMIR Students and Politics Balraj Puri A STUDY of the problem of unrest among students of institutions of higher education in Jammu and Kashmir has shown a striking correlation between such unrest and lack of political consciousness among the students and affluence of their parents. This was in sharp contrast to the views of the participants in a conference on the subject, convened last year at Srinagar by the Governor of the state, who generally held that the political affiliations of the students and their economic distress were the main causes of unrest. These views were an indication of the distance of the older generation from reality as also from the younger generation.
