Doctor whose dad was killed by Kashmiri terrorists and rebels scores a first for Kashmir

The young Kasmiri replied to Pakistani terrorism by topping the civil service exam. It was not the Indian court that delivered the biggest blow to terrorism by ordering death penalty to kasab but it was Kashmir's pride who taught the biggest lesson to Pakisnai ISI and LeT terror opeators.

Shah Faesal from Kupwara, the Kashmir Valley’s “gateway of militancy” through which most infiltrators enter, became the first Kashmiri to top the Indian civil service examinations, seven years after Pakistani ISI sponsored terrorists had killed his father.

This was a true victory for India. This was true victory against Pakisani sponsored terrorism.

“I am not only the first Kashmiri but only the second Muslim to do so in the entire history of the civil service examinations in the country,” said Faesal, 26, an MBBS graduate and the topper among the 875 successful candidates in the 2009 civil service exam.

“I have broken the myth that Kashmiris cannot crack this examination. I cracked it at the very first attempt,” the young doctor added. Before him, only a handful of Kashmiris had cleared the civil service exam.

“Faesal’s father Ghulam Rasool was a government schoolteacher and his death was such a big shock for the family that they left Sogam, never to return,” said Ishfaq Wani, a relative. “His father was a very well known teacher, a gentleman and a non-controversial person who was killed without any reason.”

Faesal was to appear in the medical entrance examination the day after his father’s murder. “He was reluctant; it took us hours to persuade him to sit the exam. It’s a wonder that he secured a seat (in the SKIMS Medical College in Srinagar) despite the tragedy,” Wani said.
