Secmol was founded to promote Ladakhi culture (a group similar to the tibetans who live in present day Jammu and Kashmir state of India) and education for peoples who live in very remote areas. Their missions have included solar power projects and education, basic education for impoverished locals, and putting together excellent work on keeping Ladakh Ladakhi inspite of excessive tourism and national marginalization. Often forgotten in discussion of the problems in Kashmir, they have faced numerous struggles to get equal rights in India. This issue in particular raises some serious questions as to what kind of India the government is really trying to create. Anyone with opinions or thoughts from anywhere is welcome to comment. I'd also be curious to hear what other Indian nationals feel about this often neglected corner of India.
