Pride of Kashmir.

[@dharmachakra2616]

Nitasha Kaul sometimes speaks as a voice of Kashmir Pandits and sometimes as an expert in understanding Indian mindset. She only wants popularity.

India has some of the most deep and serious systemic flaws in its governmental structure. The constitution doesn't even guarantee natural rights and other inalienable rights. There is no limits to the power of the national gov which they call a central government despite claiming to be a federal republic. All the rights given to an Indian citizen through their crazily lengthy constitution, are provisional. Which means the gov can take away rights of individuals as they have been left at the mercy of parliament. All the natural rights that people in first world take for granted, are alienable in India
