Kashmiri Labourers

Having to work as a labourer by day did not keep a 19-year-old from Kashmir from studying through the night and chasing his dream of becoming a doctor. His efforts paid off on Tuesday when he found out that he had cracked NEET.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi often choses to dress in a traditional attire while attending an event of a particular region and this time it was a Kashmiri "pheran" as he launched the Ayushman Bharat scheme to extend health insurance benefits to residents of Jammu and Kashmir.

Three people have been arrested on the charge of attacking some Kashmiri labourers stranded due to the lockdown in Himachal Pradesh's Mandi district, police said on Monday.

Zahid Qureshi was just a baby when his father was killed in 1995. Aijaz Ali is the son of a poor farmer. Gazi Hussein, the son of a labourer, is visually impaired. For these three young men in Kashmir, cracking the IIT entrance exam is the beginning of a different struggle.
