children and relatives are studying in other parts of the country or abroad.

I always love ur blogs ... but about this one i hv something to say.... whatever u hv written about the sons n daughters of all these leaders may b true ... but it no longer denies the fact that they r not the only one who r studying r working outside ....there are many more common kashmiri's who r outside ... n we r on the roads not becoz our leaders say so we are there becoz our brothers got killed our fathers beaten n the list of tyrant activities goes on n on .... it is not necessary that the sons of our leaders shud follow the same path .... while i was havn great childhood children of asiya andrabi wr deprived of parental care fr wat ..... they don't have their father n mpother all the tiome beside them .. it is just one of the example ...u just look at any freedom struggle u will find these cases evrywr ... even in the days of our prophets many of their sons left the path of their fathers .... n last but not least we r fighting fr the kashmir n not fr the leaders ......
