85 candidates were selected in JKAS 2025 and from the entire Kashmir division , the heartland of this region, the land that has given Jammu & Kashmir its identity, its language, its culture only 12 to 13 names made it to that list. And just 5 to 6 who are Kashmiri speaking Not 60. Not 30. Not even 20. Six. And before you say it’s a coincidence, look at 2021. Look at 2023. Look at the pattern that has been quietly building year after year, result after result, while we stayed silent. These are not just numbers on a government document, these are the children of Kashmir who studied through load-shedding, who prepared without coaching institutes, without networks, without privilege, who sacrificed years of their lives believing that merit would be enough and on result day, their names simply weren’t there. We voted in 2024. We gave our trust, our mandate, our hope to an elected government our own government believing that someone would finally look at these imbalances and feel the weight of them. But today I am asking that government directly where is Kashmir in your priorities? Because when an entire valley of millions produces only 6 civil servants in a combined selection of 85, that is not a failure of our children that is a failure of the system that was supposed to serve them. Share this. Tag your representative. Ask the question out loud because silence at this point is not neutrality. Silence is complicity.
