In the recently declared Jammu and Kashmir Board of School Education (BOSE) results of the twelfth standard, Insha Lone, a resident of Newa (Pulwama) secured 85 per cent marks. Seemingly this is unimpressive given the students getting 500/500 but what makes it special is that Insha managed this score while losing both her parents during the examinations.
“I am missing my father and mother,” Insha said while crying. She lost her “home” at the beginning of the examination and her parents died within a week when she was busy being examined for practical’s.
Insha migrated to Rangreth (Srinagar) in November 2020, along with her family. “There were two reasons for migration,” Insha said. “One was my study and another was the continuous harassment of my father in Pulwama.”
On November 1, 2020, when Insha was preparing for her examination, a cordon and search operation (CASO) was launched in Rangreth. In the ensuing gunfight at the rented space of Insha’s parents, Hizbul Mujahideen top militant, ‘Dr Saifullah’ was killed. Kashmir Police Chief, Vijay Kumar termed the killing as a “big success”.
In the encounter, the rented house went up in flames and it included everything including her books and other study material. “I had prepared notes on my own. It was the hard work of my full year, which got destroyed in just seconds,” Insha said.
