Kashmir to Kanya Kumari is one – It is proved by a Kashmiri called Faisal who tops UPSC. He picked pen rather than a gun and see the difference. He has become the true leader. His success is a true event which will definitely change the mind set of all those who are being diverted on blind end path. Keep IT Up! Mr. Faisal Remember what Robert Frost has said. I think these lines are meant for people like you whose effort can bring a change in every field………. The woods are lovely, dark and deep, But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.

i think kashmiri not against peace.. as ifs so then no one supported parliament and assembly elections..but they voted in quite large number..
problem with politicians and people who take everything on extreme side.. for some people on this forum found muslim religion =terrorism ...
ofcourse large number of people from that side but its not meant we loose our temper and see everyone by that eyes only..

Another poem by robert frost also comes to my mind ... Two roads diverged in a yellow wood .... and i took the one less travelled by and that has made the difference.
heartiest congrats to shah faisal and his mother. shah has proved that kashmir is an integral & sovereign part of india and in no ways kashmiris are deprived of any basic fundamental rights.
Relly happ to C u as topper. Also feel good that in our coutry everyone is getting equal chance irrespective to community he/she belongs to. Hope u will get gret success and create a landmark for others specially in your own community who mostly prefer choices other than admin. severices.
My heartiest congratulation to you all your dear and near ones for this remarkable achievement. It is really a matter of great pride for the muslim community that you have topped the most coveted, sought-after and prestigious job in this country. May god guides you and all your coleagues to dispell the STEREOTIC PERCEPTIONS about the community. The fact that you have made this cut in the fact of all hardships and challenges makes it more adorable. I think, it comes after a gap of about 20-25 years when Mr Amir Subhani of Bihar topped in 1986 or thereabout.
It will definitely inspire the muslim youth/ community to dream that far.

He comes from a less than privileged background. and what's more, he worked hard against severe odds fighting off the death of his dad at militants hand when he was young.

This man's remarkable success in the face of daunting odds should be an inspiration to us all. It should be an eye opener to the Pakistanis who think that Kashmir is their part. The fact is that this man's father, a well respected teacher was brutally killed by Pakistani terrorists. Shaking of this incident, he studied hard with focus and achieved an impossible dream. Only merit counts and nothing else.
