UT status to J&K is temporary, correct? and the word ‘temporary’ has a meaning of 70 years in our constitution .. so let’s give some more time .. to see what would be temporary mean this time ..
Modi took the brave decision. Now talks in Pakistan is about saving PoK. Earlier it was whether India can keep our position intact. Economic situation is improving and lot of Indian tourists are visiting some even opening small businesses. Next year rail link will be open which will better integrate Kashmir valley to rest of India. This govt has failed on jobs and inflation front but removing 370 is biggest win.
But we can’t live with a fear of China nor make internal decisions with “what China might think about this” attitude. It’s unfortunate that the Chinese got insecure and aggressive, but so be it

Politicians of Kashmir like Mehbooba Mufti are although leaders of only a small area of round 100 sq km around Srinagar but they pretend to be representatives about the entire Riyasat of Jammu and Kashmir .These politicians, especially Mehbooba Mufti ,often talk, of involving Pakistan in the affairs of J and K but Mehbooba Mufti is absolutely silent on Pakistan having gifted to China , Shaksgam Valley ,an area of 5000 sq km of Jammu and Kashmir territory

I do not agree with the view of holding elections and giving abdullahs and mehbooba a free run again. The state of J&k should remain as UT for at least 5 to8 years until a visible development takes place , economic, trade, investment wise which shall automatically gel with other states . The fear and view that by making Ladakh a UT we have invited china to take extreme steps of creating a firewall and compelling us to respond otherwise china would have slept happily is not convincing. We should take POK incl. gilgit baltistan to secure India mainland by bringing back mighty himalayan ranges again as our natural protection from invaders. Nothing is gained without a sacrifice and price . God willing Indians do it.

Not separating Jammu from Kashmir is a "miss". Should have separated Jammu, coupled with a population swap between Kashmiri Hindus and Sikhs and Jammu Muslims, for the sake of the safety of the Hindus.
I'm surprised that the people commenting here think that a decision can only have positive consequences. Any action will have both pros and cons and we should be able to discuss both to improve further. Is everyone in India gone mad?
Really Mr.Gupta kashmir not being a story is a positive consequence?? The truth is Kashmir has never been on the collective conscience of the indian masses,it has always been stoked by politics and political discourse by all sides of the spectrum.I wonder whom do you expect to raise the issue on news and how ? Ask the journalist fraternity of how much news is coming out...no news - no discourse ...that's what is the intention of the present dispensation. For once I completely disagree with this observation.No news for once is not good news.
So journalists will decide when is the right time for statehood when most likely u may not be knowing more than 20% of what govt/agencies know.

Not up to your usual quality Shekhar Gupta? Looks like you were in a hurry to record this.. to be making a connection between 370 abrogation and PLA standoff is weird and imaginative. Are we ready to give an assurance that PLA would not have come to the border if 370 was still in place? Bit of a dampener after the brilliant 3 part series in previous week's
Further to my comment I wish to add that Omar, Farooq and Mahabooba are the leaders who have to change there attitude and welcome investments from out of the state, This will also help the well educated young people, you have referred to, to end there frustation. These three cam be the opposite of Mamta.
The chinese intentions are clear, they were there to convey india that ,they can intervene to save their Pakistani "copper brothers" ,if india decides to make an aggressive shift in their Kashmir policy and especially w.r.to CPEC.They would have also thought that it would serve as a warning for india who is an active member in quad to watch their actions in view of potential boil ups at the border ...but the chinese had their foot stuck up too.. .1.The CPEC is increasingly proving to be an unviable project with every passing day ,where there is no site of " returns on investments " 2. The intention to warn indians has been fully backfired and trapped them to keep their troops in those high altitude zones for unexpectedly longer durations and making them to throw more and more money and infrastructure to save them from that brutal weather. 3. From Ukrianian crisis, it's well established that military action on a moderately prepared enemy on plain grounds itself is too deadly despite of heavy military superiority .Any misadventures on a fully prepared enemy like india on high mountainous grounds will be fatal and totally suicidal to chinese. So to save their face , they continue deployment while heavily regretting it internally.
🇮🇳💜i think we will see kashmir rising soon . it's true development scenario are slow but they are consistent. & we will see huge investment & tourism flourish in j& k 🇮🇳💜🎉🎈
Only one thing, we all raise a question on political parties, or whomever is in power, but one thing is clearly visible that Media has not even tried to find out a one kashmiri "muslim" who is supporting India. Like the narrative always has a negative tone. Indian media always shows the concerns of specific community which is influenced by islamic and Pakistani mindset. But media could have shown that ok see this is a kashmiri muslim who says he/she wants J&,K to be an integral part of India. So here the media has failed. 😑
If Kashmiri Muslims want to be treated fairly they just have to give up violence which i doubt they wont when they have lutyens mainstream media and Pseudo Secular politicians for support.
India would have been developed country in 30 years, if Art 370 & other land articles should have applied to all states except for JK & few boarder states. It would have prevented Hindu conversions in all states at the same time States would have full autonomy on their own economic & political progress. Art 370 earned bad name just bcz JK separatism which is sponsored by Pak. In reality Art 370 represents true federalism that India should have. It was freedom that promised at 1940s but gradually over the years all powers centralised, which is bad for India.

I just cannot understand the negatives. So the Chinese attacked because Shah said we would take back Aksai Chin. Then why does China have border disputes with all its neighbors (plus a few non-neighbors)? Not all countries have provoked the dragon. China is an expansionist force and its aim is to dominate everyone. Also, I am shocked to see Shekarji forgetting the context of the remake made by HM Shah. What else was he supposed to say on the well of the house when directly questioned about it? Does he want an Indian home minister to concede territory? And how are Kashmiri people not responsible for their own fate? They have consistently received 10% of central funds with just 1% of the population. It was a conflict economy. It is by far the most communal state in the country with ethnic cleansing going back multiple decades. Which businessman will invest within 3 years of removing 370 in such a hell hole? It is a long process. But a process absolutely in the right direction.
From our perspective, we (and all it's terrestrial and maritime neighbours) see china as expansionist. Rotate the map and see from china's persoective, and u will understand why it says it is recreating akhand china. The negatives r clear to left-of-centre ppl. There is no leadership that listens to locals, hence deprived/enraged ppl r easy to be waylaid by isi.
Well said. Shekhar is a secularist of the appeasement type. You can see his dislike for Modi, just like most mainstream media persons. The SIT created by the Supreme Court declared Modi to be innocent of all the charges or accusations levied on him for the Godhra riots, but Shekar way back had already found Modi guilty which is evident from his reporting and writings if you go back and look. So, the Congress, secular parties, and the divisive administrations in J&K got 70+ years to mess up things in J&K, and like you said, they expect miracles from this government in 3 years! "Analysts" like Shekar expect perfection from the current government, but are able to forgive all the corruption, mismanagement and divisiveness that the Congress propagated and kept supporting and alive in J&K for 70 years. It takes time to change a rotten house, you have to rebuild the house from the foundation up, while living in the house. It's not an easy task by any stretch of imagination ... visit it in another 10-15 years, and we'll see that the change that started on Aug 5, 2019 will bring fruits for India and for all the residents of J&K.

One can only expect investments if the people say no to violence against the minority (look at the many targeted killings of Hindus in the valley in the past year) and do not hold separatist tendencies. For 65 years, you allowed 370. Give at least 10 years post-370. Then we can assess.
The best thing that happened after Chinese aggression is that our government now is clear about Chinese intension and now there is no confusion that China is our enemy. Otherwise our foreign policy was so confusing when it comes to China despite of China's continuous support to pakistan and Chinese claim of our 3 states.
@@fuzzyblue74 There are several reasons for that 1. Import of api for medicines has increased 2. Import of oxygen concentration 3. Instead of supporting boycott China as much as possible (I know complete boycott is not possible for now), our own people opposed it. 4. Government can't ban Chinese products without proper reason as India has to follow WTO rules. But that's not the complete picture , we have got success in some areas like 1. Software Boycott is successful 2. Most of the Chinese investment in Indian startup has been stopped (Remember it happened because of the efforts of the government , without any public support ) Now on next phase I hope make in India program will be a success and we will be able to replace made in china not only here in India but also across the world.

1. The 3 average rating which Shekhar is talking about are work in progress. Elections will be held soon, as the work of Delimitation Commission is completed. As regards mainstream parties, these continue to be active and talk in forked tongue all the time. 2. Shekhar seems to suggest that there are only two choices for the young, internet savvy, smart Kashmiri youth- Govt of India is not giving them enough job opportunities so either complain or join the terrorism! No one stopped Kashmiri youth from going out and finding jobs anywhere in India, just like any one from UP or Bihar or Haryana or North East does. As industry starts in Kashmir, tourism revives, various infrastructure and developmental programs get going, youth will find jobs locally. 3. That Kashmir is still not considered safe is a fact and if one wants to blame Modi Govt for this, please do so! 4. Chinese incursions in Ladakh is the issue arising probably out of Art 370 revocation. But whatever happened there, India has emerged stronger and better prepared to take on the Chinese. Armed Forces would treat this as a blessing in disguise and history will record this as a grave mistake by Xi Jin Ping, as it changed India's Defense Policy, China became formal Enemy No 1, Pakistan got sidelined, Quad is formalized and push for 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' would make India a formidable power. 5. So overall, Aug 2019 is a watershed for J&K; a lot is now a history but new challenges have emerged. And India is dealing with them. But until Pakistan exists, Kashmir problem (terrorism, militancy, etc) will not be over. So forget this non sense of giving scores to Modi! What Modi did was a long overdue action from say, 1970s. Let us deal with the consequences as we move ahead.
What you mentioned is right, "Govt of India is not giving them enough job opportunities so either complain or join the terrorism! No one stopped Kashmiri youth from going out and finding jobs anywhere in India, just like anyone from UP or Bihar or Haryana or North East does. As the industry starts in Kashmir, tourism revives, various infrastructure and developmental programs get going, and youth will find jobs locally." '
Please don't mislead people by saying a lie that Congress was slowly diluting article 370. There was no such effort from their part. Even BJP was not doing but they tried to involve in local government to get control of the things but Mehbooba Mufti got her way as CM. As that experiment failed BJP came out of the government and worked upon abrogation of article 370. You must appreciate Modi's effort despite your mental allegiance with the Congress party.
Pressuring Hindus not to speak the truth or claim what they genuinely own for the sake of their life is inhumane. Instead ask Muslims to be kind enough to accept the true history and correct their mistakes. Life without dignity is not worth living.
The Democratic process is already on and it is tentatively to be held in December22, it is work in progress and hence it is not in negative list, it should have been appreciated. Why no mention of Kashmir Pandits rehabilitation? How can it be forgotten! Why no mention of increase of tourism in multifold? Also the promised investments by Gulf countries which is work in progress. How can you expect such a speed when nothing has happened in the last 70 years. Yes Chinese have come to Ladakh site not for picnic. They thought they are facing a Govt of the past under Congress rule but got a good beating under Modi Govt.

SG must know that China (or for that matter, any country should) thinks only for the Chinese welfare and dominance in the world. India must do whatever is in its favour and abrogation of 370 is the step in right direction.

Families of Kashmiri separatists can get indian passports but common Kashmiris can't get the passport easily, sometimes it take years. One of our 17 year girl got passport after three years, she had to go abroad for studies & all the children of separatists are studying abroad.
To expect a change in 3 years is probably not realistic. However, bringing in statehood and reducing unemployment might go a long way in bringing the populace to the mainstream. Thank you for the information
After being in ‘special status’ for over seven decades and now after just three years of being rid of that status to expect restoring normalcy like states of Madhya Pradesh or Karnataka is certainly ridiculous.
Cussed in your assessment of the initiative of bringing fundamental changes in #Kashmir 3 years back. Why play up the Chinese reactions on LAC and attribute to this as a downside. No way, it's good that realities were understood by all. Biggest benefit has been that our western neighbour can not manipulate us on "K" any longer and the world is not interested. This has been a major gain others will take a little more time.
Isn't it funny, congress taking so long is their own serendipitous way of tackling 370. But 3 years of after kashmir abrogation by bjp, so much they should have done by now ....

A good attempt at making a 3 year report card! But, Missing Kashmiri rehabilitation and omitted prosecution of perpetrators of genocide/exodus is surprising. Isn't calling Mufti's and Abdullah's mainstream politicians without confirming their allegiance to India and it's constitution rather hasty?
UPA did not do delimitation exercise in 2009(?), When it was done all over India. This could be reason for delaying elections. Also BJP may be waned to give confidence to public that they are not anti Muslims , the image PDP, NC created over decades. Did you think entrepreneurs from other states will run to Kashmir to invest? It will happen but slowly and after the elections and when BJP wins. It is surprising that u do not mention role of PDP/NC in trying to keep the state destabilised. BJP also need to fight these dubious characters to build the confidence.

Million dollar question is can Kashmir remain Kashmir without lakhs of military and paramilitary forces patrolling on the ground?? How long can we afford the high price of maintaining large number of troops in a small part of India particularly now when the border with China is turning hot?
Troops are in Kashmir because Islamabad and Rawalpindi are opposite Kashmir. So that is where most of India's land troops should be. Also terrorism is present in only 5 districts of South Kashmir. Even with peace in Kashmir, the number cannot be reduced by much.

In April 2017, General Bipin Rawat the Chief of Army Staff infamously defended Major Leetul Gogoi for tying Farooq Ahmed Dar, a young Kashmiri craftsman, to his jeep bonnet and using him as a human shield to drive through a hostile patch. Later, the army formally commended Gogoi for his widely condemned rights violation against an unarmed civilian. This became standard operating practice as the indian army seemingly went rogue and was roundly condemned by the UN. Both the United Nations and the International Criminal Court consider the way civilians said they were used by the Indian army to search houses in south Kashmir to be illegal under international law, experts said. Many residents of Pinglan village in south Kashmir told Reuters they were used as shields for soldiers as they searched for militants during a crackdown in February. The UN's Geneva Convention states that "the presence of a protected person may not be used to render certain points or areas immune from military operations" "Actions which deliberately endanger the life of ordinary persons - for example, by using them as 'human shields' - can amount to cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment under international human rights law." But India denies that the Geneva Convention, designed for international conflicts, applies to its operations in Indian-controlled Kashmir, and it is one of the few major countries not party to the Rome Statute.

Not separating Jammu from Kashmir is a "miss". Should have separated Jammu, coupled with a population swap between Kashmiri Hindus and Sikhs and Jammu Muslims, for the sake of the safety of the Hindus.
So partition within India? Jammu acts as a counter to Kashmir
Honest dedicated sincere non corrupt leadership matter. 🙏 all the best. Thank of making such a nice issue
Not honest
Shekhar ji i am big fan of your journalism, especially explaining the clutter. You are a stateman and in my opinion an Journalismargument
At 8:03 i think SG meant surreptitious rather than Serendipitious.
Why are you in a hurry for change? Change will happen gradually. 70 years is enough.
How was congress in support of A-370? Or what were the steps taken by them(Referring to the slowly slowly-term)
Kashmir for Kashmiris, both India and Pakistan needs to understand this.
Same Kashmiri who conducted Hindu genocide
I'm surprised that the people commenting here think that a decision can only have positive consequences. Any action will have both pros and cons and we should be able to discuss both to improve further. Is everyone in India gone mad?
@theprint Can you do a video on CRZ issue of Goa
Shekhar gupta should be made pm of kashmir and all problem will be solved.
Excellent analysis
Thanks Neelaratan!
Really Mr.Gupta kashmir not being a story is a positive consequence?? The truth is Kashmir has never been on the collective conscience of the indian masses,it has always been stoked by politics and political discourse by all sides of the spectrum.I wonder whom do you expect to raise the issue on news and how ? Ask the journalist fraternity of how much news is coming out...no news - no discourse ...that's what is the intention of the present dispensation. For once I completely disagree with this observation.No news for once is not good news.
once we are able to to provide the valley with stable employment...i bet half of the problem would be solved...
Excellent analysis Shekhar!!
So journalists will decide when is the right time for statehood when most likely u may not be knowing more than 20% of what govt/agencies know. Also do not forget BJP priorities is to fix grassroot that is panchayat and block level which were ignored in the past. Govt need more 2 years so pls have patience. Kashmir is better today and improving everyday
Not up to your usual quality Shekhar Gupta? Looks like you were in a hurry to record this.. to be making a connection between 370 abrogation and PLA standoff is weird and imaginative. Are we ready to give an assurance that PLA would not have come to the border if 370 was still in place? Bit of a dampener after the brilliant 3 part series in previous week's
sir sound can be more refined i think
Further to my comment I wish to add that Omar, Farooq and Mahabooba are the leaders who have to change there attitude and welcome investments from out of the state, This will also help the well educated young people, you have referred to, to end there frustation. These three cam be the opposite of Mamta.
For all the depth of claimed knowledge and expertise on the subject, SG has followed the old pattern. The narrative remains Valley centric...
The chinese intentions are clear, they were there to convey india that ,they can intervene to save their Pakistani "copper brothers" ,if india decides to make an aggressive shift in their Kashmir policy and especially w.r.to CPEC.They would have also thought that it would serve as a warning for india who is an active member in quad to watch their actions in view of potential boil ups at the border ...but the chinese had their foot stuck up too..
.1.The CPEC is increasingly proving to be an unviable project with every passing day ,where there is no site of " returns on investments "
2. The intention to warn indians has been fully backfired and trapped them to keep their troops in those high altitude zones for unexpectedly longer durations and making them to throw more and more money and infrastructure to save them from that brutal weather.
3. From Ukrianian crisis, it's well established that military action on a moderately prepared enemy on plain grounds itself is too deadly despite of heavy military superiority .Any misadventures on a fully prepared enemy like india on high mountainous grounds will be fatal and totally suicidal to chinese. So to save their face , they continue deployment while heavily regretting it internally.
Good SG ! Now do the same episode but on Ladakh ! 3 Good and 3 bad things after Ladakh became UT ! Will you do it ? Do you care ? Let's see !

Good video, qualitative analysis
Hi, thanks for writing in.
Only one thing, we all raise a question on political parties, or whomever is in power, but one thing is clearly visible that Media has not even tried to find out a one kashmiri "muslim" who is supporting India. Like the narrative always has a negative tone. Indian media always shows the concerns of specific community which is influenced by islamic and Pakistani mindset. But media could have shown that ok see this is a kashmiri muslim who says he/she wants J&,K to be an integral part of India. So here the media has failed. 😑
Here Media should have seen Half glass full sir. Not about you sir of course.
So no investment or democracy in Kashmir hmmm
If Kashmiri Muslims want to be treated fairly they just have to give up violence which i doubt they wont when they have lutyens mainstream media and Pseudo Secular politicians for support.
India would have been developed country in 30 years, if Art 370 & other land articles should have applied to all states except for JK & few boarder states. It would have prevented Hindu conversions in all states at the same time States would have full autonomy on their own economic & political progress. Art 370 earned bad name just bcz JK separatism which is sponsored by Pak. In reality Art 370 represents true federalism that India should have. It was freedom that promised at 1940s but gradually over the years all powers centralised, which is bad for India.
Perfect one.
Have u ever read jammu and kashmir constitution bro!
Undoing 70 years of bad rule needs more time. The abdullas n muftis are not trust worthy

Another adversary sitting across Himalayas, who send drones and fighter planes every other day on to my border to test my defenses and keep saying on international forums that "he knows how to handle me" with so much clarity and confidence, and my copper brother on the other hand was totally dismantled politically and economically and out of any help....How can i solve this ?? Sunju any idea ?

Alienated? What do you want any one to do? Appeasement?
It is Time Kashmiri youth choose what they want… Jihad or peace…
It is shamya prasad Mukherjee martyrdom allowed us to enter without permits. He broke this system
I just cannot understand the negatives. So the Chinese attacked because Shah said we would take back Aksai Chin. Then why does China have border disputes with all its neighbors (plus a few non-neighbors)? Not all countries have provoked the dragon. China is an expansionist force and its aim is to dominate everyone.
Also, I am shocked to see Shekarji forgetting the context of the remake made by HM Shah. What else was he supposed to say on the well of the house when directly questioned about it? Does he want an Indian home minister to concede territory?
And how are Kashmiri people not responsible for their own fate? They have consistently received 10% of central funds with just 1% of the population. It was a conflict economy. It is by far the most communal state in the country with ethnic cleansing going back multiple decades. Which businessman will invest within 3 years of removing 370 in such a hell hole? It is a long process. But a process absolutely in the right direction.
From our perspective, we (and all it's terrestrial and maritime neighbours) see china as expansionist. Rotate the map and see from china's persoective, and u will understand why it says it is recreating akhand china.
The negatives r clear to left-of-centre ppl. There is no leadership that listens to locals, hence deprived/enraged ppl r easy to be waylaid by isi.
Well said. Shekhar is a secularist of the appeasement type. You can see his dislike for Modi, just like most mainstream media persons. The SIT created by the Supreme Court declared Modi to be innocent of all the charges or accusations levied on him for the Godhra riots, but Shekar way back had already found Modi guilty which is evident from his reporting and writings if you go back and look.
So, the Congress, secular parties, and the divisive administrations in J&K got 70+ years to mess up things in J&K, and like you said, they expect miracles from this government in 3 years! "Analysts" like Shekar expect perfection from the current government, but are able to forgive all the corruption, mismanagement and divisiveness that the Congress propagated and kept supporting and alive in J&K for 70 years. It takes time to change a rotten house, you have to rebuild the house from the foundation up, while living in the house. It's not an easy task by any stretch of imagination ... visit it in another 10-15 years, and we'll see that the change that started on Aug 5, 2019 will bring fruits for India and for all the residents of J&K.

@@lets_discuss5352 I am not accusing Shekharji of bias --- each one of us is biased. However, I believe his rationale is totally flawed. One can only expect investments if the people say no to violence against the minority (look at the many targeted killings of Hindus in the valley in the past year) and do not hold separatist tendencies.
For 65 years, you allowed 370. Give at least 10 years post-370. Then we can assess.
The best thing that happened after Chinese aggression is that our government now is clear about Chinese intension and now there is no confusion that China is our enemy. Otherwise our foreign policy was so confusing when it comes to China despite of China's continuous support to pakistan and Chinese claim of our 3 states.
Chinese imports have gone up by 45%
@@fuzzyblue74 There are several reasons for that
1. Import of api for medicines has increased
2. Import of oxygen concentration
3. Instead of supporting boycott China as much as possible (I know complete boycott is not possible for now), our own people opposed it.
4. Government can't ban Chinese products without proper reason as India has to follow WTO rules.
But that's not the complete picture , we have got success in some areas like
1. Software Boycott is successful
2. Most of the Chinese investment in Indian startup has been stopped
(Remember it happened because of the efforts of the government , without any public support )
Now on next phase I hope make in India program will be a success and we will be able to replace made in china not only here in India but also across the world. I know it might take min 5-10 years but I am still hopeful that after success of software Boycott we will become successful in hardware boycott.

1. The 3 average rating which Shekhar is talking about are work in progress. Elections will be held soon, as the work of Delimitation Commission is completed. As regards mainstream parties, these continue to be active and talk in forked tongue all the time. 2. Shekhar seems to suggest that there are only two choices for the young, internet savvy, smart Kashmiri youth- Govt of India is not giving them enough job opportunities so either complain or join the terrorism! No one stopped Kashmiri youth from going out and finding jobs anywhere in India, just like any one from UP or Bihar or Haryana or North East does. As industry starts in Kashmir, tourism revives, various infrastructure and developmental programs get going, youth will find jobs locally. 3. That Kashmir is still not considered safe is a fact and if one wants to blame Modi Govt for this, please do so! 4. Chinese incursions in Ladakh is the issue arising probably out of Art 370 revocation. But whatever happened there, India has emerged stronger and better prepared to take on the Chinese. Armed Forces would treat this as a blessing in disguise and history will record this as a grave mistake by Xi Jin Ping, as it changed India's Defense Policy, China became formal Enemy No 1, Pakistan got sidelined, Quad is formalized and push for 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' would make India a formidable power. 5. So overall, Aug 2019 is a watershed for J&K; a lot is now a history but new challenges have emerged. And India is dealing with them. But until Pakistan exists, Kashmir problem (terrorism, militancy, etc) will not be over. So forget this non sense of giving scores to Modi! What Modi did was a long overdue action from say, 1970s. Let us deal with the consequences as we move ahead.
Succinctly put!
What you mentioned is right, "Govt of India is not giving them enough job opportunities so either complain or join the terrorism! No one stopped Kashmiri youth from going out and finding jobs anywhere in India, just like anyone from UP or Bihar or Haryana or North East does. As the industry starts in Kashmir, tourism revives, various infrastructure and developmental programs get going, and youth will find jobs locally."

Please don't mislead people by saying a lie that Congress was slowly diluting article 370. There was no such effort from their part. Even BJP was not doing but they tried to involve in local government to get control of the things but Mehbooba Mufti got her way as CM. As that experiment failed BJP came out of the government and worked upon abrogation of article 370. You must appreciate Modi's effort despite your mental allegiance with the Congress party.
This guy is congress backed guy always critics Modi
During those years, BJP understood the activities and intentions of local politicians as well individuals in bureaucracy. The time was used wisely.
What can you expect from an armchair pseudo liberal ?
Pressuring Hindus not to speak the truth or claim what they genuinely own for the sake of their life is inhumane. Instead ask Muslims to be kind enough to accept the true history and correct their mistakes. Life without dignity is not worth living.
The Democratic process is already on and it is tentatively to be held in December22, it is work in progress and hence it is not in negative list, it should have been appreciated. Why no mention of Kashmir Pandits rehabilitation? How can it be forgotten!
Why no mention of increase of tourism in multifold? Also the promised investments by Gulf countries which is work in progress. How can you expect such a speed when nothing has happened in the last 70 years.
Yes Chinese have come to Ladakh site not for picnic. They thought they are facing a Govt of the past under Congress rule but got a good beating under Modi Govt.

It is frivolous to think that China has responded to the political move of 371. What was the political initiative from india which angered China in 1962? SG must know that China (or for that matter, any country should) thinks only for the Chinese welfare and dominance in the world. India must do whatever is in its favour and abrogation of 370 is the step in right direction.

Families of Kashmiri separatists can get indian passports but common Kashmiris can't get the passport easily, sometimes it take years. One of our 17 year girl got passport after three years, she had to go abroad for studies & all the children of separatists are studying abroad.
To expect a change in 3 years is probably not realistic. However, bringing in statehood and reducing unemployment might go a long way in bringing the populace to the mainstream. Thank you for the information

The division between "Jammu" and "Kashmir", especially politically, has always been there since 1947, or since Sheikh Abdullah or NC took over.
Cussed in your assessment of the initiative of bringing fundamental changes in #Kashmir 3 years back. Why play up the Chinese reactions on LAC and attribute to this as a downside. No way, it's good that realities were understood by all. Biggest benefit has been that our western neighbour can not manipulate us on "K" any longer and the world is not interested. This has been a major gain others will take a little more time.
Isn't it funny, congress taking so long is their own serendipitous way of tackling 370. But 3 years of after kashmir abrogation by bjp, so much they should have done by now ....
Its ridiculous on your part Mr Shekhar... How can you expect a great change in just 3 years ? It is the fate of over 7 decades. How can you say its Modi's failure ? It is 100% success.

It is surprising that u do not mention role of PDP/NC in trying to keep the state destabilised. BJP also need to fight these dubious characters to build the confidence.

Million dollar question is can Kashmir remain Kashmir without lakhs of military and paramilitary forces patrolling on the ground??
How long can we afford the high price of maintaining large number of troops in a small part of India particularly now when the border with China is turning hot?
Troops are in Kashmir because Islamabad and Rawalpindi are opposite Kashmir. So that is where most of India's land troops should be. Also terrorism is present in only 5 districts of South Kashmir. Even with peace in Kashmir, the number cannot be reduced by much.

In April 2017, General Bipin Rawat the Chief of Army Staff infamously defended Major Leetul Gogoi for tying Farooq Ahmed Dar, a young Kashmiri craftsman, to his jeep bonnet and using him as a human shield to drive through a hostile patch. Later, the army formally commended Gogoi for his widely condemned rights violation against an unarmed civilian.
This became standard operating practice as the indian army seemingly went rogue and was roundly condemned by the UN.
Both the United Nations and the International Criminal Court consider the way civilians said they were used by the Indian army to search houses in south Kashmir to be illegal under international law, experts said.
Many residents of Pinglan village in south Kashmir told Reuters they were used as shields for soldiers as they searched for militants during a crackdown in February.
The UN's Geneva Convention states that "the presence of a protected person may not be used to render certain points or areas immune from military operations"
"Actions which deliberately endanger the life of ordinary persons - for example, by using them as 'human shields' - can amount to cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment under international human rights law."
But India denies that the Geneva Convention, designed for international conflicts, applies to its operations in Indian-controlled Kashmir, and it is one of the few major countries not party to the Rome Statute.
