Kashmir University students today organised a memorial for Shaheed Dr Rafi Bhat on his 1st martyrdom anniversary. Pertinently, KU authorities had closed the campus yesterday for both students & staff.

Dr. Mohmmad Rafi Bhat is an Assistant Professor of Sociology at the University of Kashmir. He has been working in the Department for the past year-and-a-half and teaches a graduate course on Sociology of Religion. He successfully defended his PhD dissertation entitled “Globalization and Emerging Trends in Consumerism: A Comparative Study of Rural and Urban Kashmir” in November 2017. Earlier this year, he published a paper on “Stone Pelting: A New Form of Protest in Kashmir.” In all, he has 29 publications to his credit. He has also written opinion pieces for Kashmir based dailies. Dr. Bhat cleared the National Eligibility Test (NET) twice, he has been a recipient of the prestigious Junior Research Fellowship (JRF), and also topped the Jammu and Kashmir State Eligibility Test (JKSET).

“When the NAAC team visits again, there would be another cosmetic facelift to give the impression that the university is progressing,” says Tabinda, a post-graduate student.

“If a book is published in 2017, it will reach our library in 2020,” says Wajahat, adding, “If I write an article on this, I will be harassed.”

Wajahat says everything is being linked with the Valley’s conflict. “I’ll be tagged as someone who is promoting some agenda and soon, word will be spread to malign my image. This is what happens,” he adds.
