He was a soldier who dropped the gun to be a monku00a0-- but even that didn't give him peace of mind. So Bhikkhu Sanghasena decided to work towards educating the underprivileged in the Ladakh region of Jammu and Kashmir to help them match steps with the rest of the world

"I was a soldier and our instructors used to say, what do you know about the world? You are a 'pahadi'. My blood used to boil on their comments," Sanghasena, 53, who believes education is a weapon that can help people win the world, told a visiting IANS correspondent.
