A bunch of cultural hawks in Jammu & Kashmir want a halt to all cultural activities in the state's schools. They have a point, you see. It is a different thing that you might not see it (I mean, their point) at all. They feel girls and being exploited, obsceneity is being promoted.

After lying low for some time, Dukhataran-e-Milat (DeM) chief Syeda Aisiya Andrabi has suddenly sprung back to action and has threatened to launch an agitation against the “cultural aggression perpetuated by New Delhi and the state government to wean people away from religion”.
“We will soon start an agitation seeking the closure of this cultural wing of the J&K education department that has become a breeding ground for exploitation of our girls,” Aisiya said, adding: “We have to fight this cultural aggression together. We should not allow India to succeed in its designs”.
The DeM supremo even called for reforming the entire education system to blunt the tools of government which she said was bent upon ruining the religious ethos of Kashmiris.
“Our wards are being taught anti-religious teachings in government and private schools and we are watching all this silently. There is a need to set this faulty education system right in Kashmir,” she said.
