Children of Conflict: Survey finds 2,14,000 orphans in Jammu and Kashmir

Sure mistakes happen in an armed conflict, and India has the mechanism in place to address the issues. This investigation report, BTW is published by Indian Police. Get it, the logic involved? Since that report that claimed your english is better than mine, I've started worrying about all claimed statistics from china.

A chinese will not understand accountability of government, you are slaves of your party. I will not try to educate you, because if I succeed you will be sent to jail. Too sad a spot to be in.

Pakistani terrorists are a huge problem. Even Pakistani Kashmiris protests against it. If you really care about the orphans, use your influence with pakistan military and help put a stop to it.

Form the comments of many Indian members like you, I get to know what is brainwash

gulfnews : Kashmir widows, orphans worst-hit

Jammu: Officially the figures are 9,000 widows and 25,000 orphans, but activists claim the figures are much higher. Women and children have been among the worst hit in the more than two decades-old terrorist violence in Jammu and Kashmir. Providing them relief and rehabilitation is now "among the priorities of the state government," a state minister says.
Sakina Itoo, the lone woman minister in Jammu and Kashmir who looks after the Social Welfare department, said: "I am personally monitoring it, we cover almost all those rendered widowed and orphaned by militancy under aid and assistance and rehabilitate them."

Rough estimates with the Jammu and Kashmir Rehabilitation Council suggest there are nearly 9,000 women whose husbands were killed in militants' strike and about 25,000 children became orphans.

But Nigat Pandit, who runs an NGO in Kashmir Valley, contests this by saying the number of widows is much higher. She says: "If on average ten people were killed daily from 1990 till 2000, and 50 per cent of them were married, then one can see how many were widowed." Sakina, whose father Wali Mohammad Itoo, a veteran National Conference leader, was shot dead by militants in March 1994, does not contest the point that the number of widows could be higher.

Am sure no one will have issue with these orphans and widows

What a great show of how many orphans the neighbouring country has ? Instead of bashing each other, don't you think discussion should be on how to tackle this situation. Don't act like politicians who play dirty politics on issues like orphans etc. This goes to all my indians too..(just to be clear, before u call me hypocrite)

Cheers

"Around 10 percent of all the orphans are engaged as child labourers of which 3 percent are engaged in paid work and remaining 7 percent in unpaid work. However 7 percent of all households said that taking care of orphans was an economic burden for them and another 4 percent faced other problems because of taking care of orphans such as threats from state and non-state actors," the survey says.

That's horrible. First indians kill Kashmiris and put them in mass graves. Then they enslave the orphans.
