1. If it doesn’t make any difference then why not all the states are regulated with same constitution & rule.
2. If Nehru was working in it how to abolish 370 then he has all the capacity to drop it.
3. Why congress ppl are making hue & cry on this act of Modi.
That ,this author is a researcher in a Centre for Policy Research says something about quality of our Research institutes. All his arguments are based on a very narrow premise of Kashmir valley. He totally disregards Jammu and Ladakh with India and Gilgit and Kashmir under Pakistan. All these regions have an identity of their own. The problem on Indian side has been that Kashmir valley has been allowed to dictate its narrative. There are other narratives too. Pakistan has totally submerged through federal control narratives of its side of Kashmir. While on Indian side, the centre has been busy imposing Kashmir valley narrative over Jammu and Ladakh via its lackeys in Kashmir.
Research Institutes should be able to look into issues deeply. To keep scholars with a single dimensional views based on their ideological moorings is like spreading virus into mainstream.
You Are Absolutely Right!! Indian Research Institutes Lack Quality Research!! However Foreign Funding Of These Institutes For Anti India Propaganda and/or & Leftist’s Hindu Bias Shouldn’t Be Ruled Out!!
the author is scared to say he doesnot like the abrogation of 370,thats why goes around beating the bush.The so called special status was meant only to prevent Indian govt from taking any punitive action for all the misdeeds committed by the state govt. .
The author’s argument is vague at best. This line of thinking is speculative as it does not consider needs of people of Ladakh and complete lack of development in the old state of J&K. The existence of article-370 posed a big issue of only two families controlled the fate of Kashmiris till now. Author has ignored the fact that Central government was responsible for defense of the state and had to address militancy issues due to dishonest and corrupt state government of J&K. This kind of baseless, imaginary, flimsy argument suites pseudo intellectuals, narcissists starving for recognition within their fake and delusional confines.
People like this author are the kind of losers living in dreamland that have framed policy in this country. The mainstream parties could not even bring 5% of the voters to the polling booth for loksabha and we are supposed to ttrat them as the big representatives of the state. The truth is that separatist fellows like Geelani have been dominating politics of kashmir, even the assembly elections see grater participation only after their blessing. The only way to dent this is by removing patronage networks, building new leadership and creating demographic space. This is not a job for weak willed people. It will take national commitment for half a century, our blood and possibly of our sons and daughters to get this done.
I can’t understand the real point of view here. If the author is trying to say win hearts of a small set of people that consider they are a notch above at the expense of others, that’s a dangerous line and I am glad this sort of thinking is not pervasive. And this sort of narrow myopic view is precisely the problem of this line of thinking that gives no credence to pragmatic needs.
The article gives a vague idea of winning the trust of kashmiris. What is winning trust ? People of Kashmir are always with India, it is the vultures and dynasts who have exploited them and invented new problems including terrorism with the help of Pakistan and its ISI. 370 is a temporary provision and somehow this temporary provision became permanent for over 70 years and grand old party at the helm of affairs at centre allowed it to continue for reasons best known to them. It is a great job done with pin point accuracy . 370 and 35A were illegal and had to go.
One cannot argue with faith or ideology, emotion raised to a pitch beyond what reason can comprehend. With India exercising so much domination and control over the state, since before I was born, as the column explains, unclear what more needed to be demonstrated or established. As time goes by, what will become clear is that these constitutional changes have not in fact magically resolved the external and internal dimensions of the problem. Nothing has changed on the ground. In fact, the situation may have become even more complex or intractable.
What is that problem? I don’t understand what do you mean India exercising domination? Whats so special about Kashmir? We are all the same people. What’s the real situation that has not changed? We have all migrated across the country and Country men freely move from one to another and embrace each other. It’s fancy to think libertarian thinking without realising ones duties.
Ashok, Ask Pakistan, Islam/Muslims & Christians About Faith!! Their Religious Philosophy Of “My God Only God” Isn’t Exactly Conducive To Peaceful co-existence!!
Hindus On The Other Hand, Carve Dr. Abdul Kalam, A Muslim’s Statue In A Temple!! This Is Unbelievable Hindu Acceptance Of Others!!

Such authors deserve a place in a dust-bin.
