Jammu and Kashmir is a union territory in northern India. It comprises two major regions: Jammu and the Kashmir Valley. A third region, Ladakh, along with Jammu and Kashmir, was a part of the state of Jammu and Kashmir until 2019. After the abrogation of Article 370, the state was broken into two: Jammu and Kashmir, and Ladakh. The region is known for breathtaking landscapes with a history going back to the Indus Valley Civilization, with evidence of various empires — Gandhara, Mauryan, Kushan, Gupta, Mughal, and Dogra — ruling the area.
The region has been a bone of contention between India and Pakistan since its 1947 accession to India. The two countries fought a war that resulted in the establishment of the Line of Control (LoC) and divided the region into Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir and Pakistan-administered Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan. Both Pakistan and China claim portions of Indian-administered Kashmir and Ladakh regions. It has been marred with violent incidents of militancy, which gained momentum in the 1980s and 1990s. The situation, fuelled by various grievances including political alienation, human rights abuses, and economic disparities, has resulted in prolonged conflict and counterinsurgency operations by security forces.
And you will conveniently ignore killing of BJP member and how 9 BJP members just resigned. You conveniently ignored when Kashmiri Pandits were killed and left the valley. So I am going to conveniently ignore this article.
Fake encounters have been taking place around not only in the then J&K and now in Kashmir as also places in North east. AFSPA makes it possible since it is used as license to kill and not be held accountable since any investigation or processing of the legal course is subject to the clearance from the Home Ministry at Delhi. What is the way out of this crisis. People are subjected to fear and their life is full of it.
