JKSA seeks CM Omar Abdullah’s intervention over removal of Sheikh Noor-ud-Din Wali chapter from JKBOSE textbook

The Jammu and Kashmir Students Association (JKSA) on Thursday expressed strong resentment over the recent decision to remove the chapter on Sheikh Noor-ud-Din Wali, also known as Sheikh-ul-Alam, from the Class 9 curriculum in Jammu and Kashmir.

The association termed the move unfortunate, emphasizing that Sheikh-ul-Alam is a revered figure not only among Muslims but also among Kashmiri Pandits, symbolizing unity, peace, and communal harmony in the region.

In a statement, state coordinator of Association Rohool Banka, expressed deep concern over the decision, highlighting the cultural and spiritual significance of Sheikh Noor-ud-Din Wali. “Sheikh-ul-Alam is a widely respected figure whose teachings have transcended religious boundaries and continue to inspire people from all walks of life. This decision by the authorities goes against public sentiment and undermines the rich heritage and traditions of Kashmir,” Banka said.

He emphasized that, removing Sheikh Noor-ud-Din Wali’s chapter from the Class 9 textbooks is an attack on the identity and history of Jammu and Kashmir.

“Sheikh-ul-Alam, as he is lovingly called, is not just a Sufi saint but the soul of Kashmir, embodying its ethos of peace, harmony, and brotherhood. He is part and parcel of Kashmir’s rich literary history. For centuries, his teachings have guided generations, transcending religious and social divides. Removing his chapter from our children’s education system is not just disrespectful—it is an attempt to sever our youth from their roots and heritage,” the statement added.

The association has sought the intervention of Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah in the matter, urging him to take immediate steps to address this issue. “We urge the Chief Minister to ensure that our history and culture are not up for dilution. Sheikh Noor-ud-Din Wali belongs to the people of Kashmir, and no institution has the right to diminish his legacy,” the association said.

Suhail Farooq, another coordinator of JKSA, also voiced concern and urged the authorities to reconsider the decision and reinstate the chapter on Sheikh Noor-ud-Din Wali in the curriculum. He stressed that such decisions should be made with due consideration of the cultural and historical context, ensuring that students learn about prominent figures who have shaped the values of tolerance, peace, and coexistence in the region.

“We call on the authorities to respect the feelings and sentiments of the people of Jammu and Kashmir and to preserve the legacy of Sheikh Noor-ud-Din Wali for future generations,” Suhail added.

He further asserted, “This is not just an affront to one community but to every community touched by this pious scholar’s contributions, which have left an indelible impact.” “Sheikh-ul-Alam’s teachings have not only inspired people but have also enriched our literature and cultural heritage. The deletion of this chapter strikes at the very foundation of his legacy, impacting both the literary and moral education of students,” he added.
