Photographer's Note
School Boy Of Srinagar, Kashmir.
The eyes of this boy speaks volumes. 26 schools being burned in Kashmir Valley over the past 115 days. With even increasing number of schools being burned in the Valley triggering an unexplainable situation to kids. The court directed the police and civil administration to ensure protection of schools besides unmasking the "mysterious enemies of education" and deal with them with an "iron hand". But what do you explain to these kids. Burning of schools is one of the ploys to keep the fire burning (in Kashmir)... It is the same people who are promoting looting of banks, torching of shops and vehicles, stoning innocents, intimidation of citizens, who are responsible for burning the educational institutes. Hopefully, one would soon realise that Education is the main factor for intellectual excellence and prosperity. Imparting education in the centres of learning has no other viable substitute. Let Politics not pollute Education anywhere in the world. #Kashmir #school #education #politics

Hi Satyakki
Your note is very saddening, and to be brutally honest, I have not even heard this reported. Such a despicable act and the media don't pick up on it, certainly from my part of the world. This child's eyes have seen things no child should, and just as you say, education is the key to humanity. Those who destroy that are destroying our way of life as a species .
This is a beautiful and poignant portrait shot. Not only the base of the main subject but also the guy behind. Really great photo and thanks for the very interesting note.
Best wishes
Noel

Well captured, the eyes of the boy indeed express great distress and sadness.
I was very close to Kashmir, less than 100km from the border during the Uri events this year, but on the Pakistani side.
It's difficult to hope that the situation will change in the near future, it has been so long and no signs of any improvement. And its the most vulnerable who suffer.
Best wishes
Kasia
