Adil Hussain, a 26-year-old Ph.D scholar at Kutch university, left for a trip to to the hills and his home in Kashmir to do a geological survey on September 13. When he returned to his university, he discovered an exclusive report on him in the paper - "Did a Kashmiri youth go to check the Kutch border in the guise of doing a Ph.D.?" Adil, subsequently, found most of his classmates distancing themselves from him. He told The Hindu.

“On one hand they say that we are part and parcel of India and on the other hand they treat us as terrorists. What kind of double standard is this?”

Earlier this year, 67 Kashmiri students from Swami Vivekanand Subharti University in Meerut were suspended from their college for celebrating Pakistan's victory over India at the Asia Cup finals. Sedition charges were, also, slapped on them.
