Most people of India probably still believe the biggest threat to our national security is terrorism. But I don’t think so. I feel biggest threat to the nation is “Threat of drugs” which is polluting the brain of people especially youth and killing them silently in a much more speed then thay are being killed in terrorism. The menace of Drug addiction is eating ours society.
Let me quote a Japanese proverb. “First the man takes the drink; then the drink takes the man”. Every statistics related to the menace of Drug addiction in the state of Jammu& Kashmir is alarming. Pertinently, J&K, which is otherwise a conservative society, too has also not been able to safeguard its youth from this dangerous menace.
A recent statistics of the J&K Drug De-addiction Center Srinagar indicate that 80,000 people are addicted to narcotics. Over the past few years instances of suicides and deaths caused by drug overdose have been coming to the fore. All the concerned voices are pained and worried over the growing drug addiction in Jammu Kashmir.
A pilot study by a non-governmental organization ‘Concerned About Universal Social Empowerment’ in which it took a sample of 610 students revealed shocking results. In the study, near about 22 percent graduates, 6 percent post graduates and over 2 percent PhD holders have been found involved in drug addiction.
A systematic study on the same was also recently carried by Dr Pirzada Amin, Head- Department of Social Work, University of Kashmir in which he revealed that 40 percent of the youngsters fall prey to drug abuse which includes both boys and girls of the age group between 16-25 years. The study has mentioned reasons responsible for the increased drug abuse in J&K. The foremost reason is manifested in the socio-psychological aspects of youth. Due to the ongoing turbulent situation in the State, the youth are facing enormous problems of this nature due to the political instability and unemployment scenario. Moreover, due to poor industrial structure and low status of private sector in State, problem of unemployment among youth has been causing great social unrest.
