In the aftermath of the deadly terrorist attack in Jammu & Kashmir’s Pahalgam, hatred against Kashmiris and Kashmiri students in particular surged in at least four northern states and Jammu, fuelled by right-wing groups. We spoke with Kashmiri students who had exams to write but had no institutional support. Hiding in their rooms, hoping for the worst to pass without violence, they spoke of mental and emotional trauma.

Funny how you ignored my comment, refused to read your own article, refused to reply or refute any of my points or even u/mukt's with anything other than strawman insults. It is clear you aren't engaging in good faith, and your understanding of India is very poor, as is evident by your replies.

Read monkey, read.

Your last line shows I understand Indian racism and you don't.

Racism is when people call you stupid. The stupider you are, the racister it is. Doesn't matter if I even know your race or not, it must be racism because you said so.

You again apply America-centric standards. 'Monkey' has never been a racist insult in India. I literally just referenced a line from Young Sheldon. The fact that your mind jumped right at the racist connotation of the word reveals more about your own mind than mine.

You still refuse to answer any of the points I raised earlier. I shall disengage.
