A total of 575 Kashmiri youth from different parts of Jammu and Kashmir have joined the Indian army proving there is still patriotism left in the valley.

Reports said, more than 20,000 youth have applied for the vacancies available in the Indian Army which means there are thousands of Kashmiris who want to join Indian Army, Indian Navy, India Air-force, Para-military forces and Jammu-Kashmir police. 

The induction of 575 youth in the Indian Army came at a moment when the state is undergoing a transition after the Indian government scrapped the Article 370, which provided special status to the state.

It may be mentioned that since the abrogation of Article 370, Jammu and Kashmir has been under massive security cover.
