Jammu & Kashmir live updates: GOI remove all provisions of Article 370

Why should anybody object if Modi choses to stand by his principle (retire by 75 years) and the next PM is chosen by the party?? How is it similar to Mahagathbandhan??
Similar to Mahagathbandhan, as in, they had multiple PM candidates with each one vying for the seat. Had they won, they would've most probably shared it amongst themselves with each one having the seat for a particular duration.
 
Pakistan army will give $530 million contract for assault rifles to Poland in exchange for UNSC support.
And exactly from whose aid/loan, are they going to spend it? And if true, a dozen or so provocations can finish off their economy in the current scenario. Pakistanis being them, I wouldn't put this past them, though.

Couple things I don't get here -

> What's wrong with people from one state of India marrying someone from another state, let it be inter-caste or inter-religion?

> If the implication is regarding some form of abuse of said girls, there are already established laws to prosecute those responsible. If anything, now anyone from Kashmir who is victim of abuse (inflicted by anyone from any part of India) is more likely to get justice than ever before.

I simply fail to see what is such a big issue here. Other than of course, if seen through the lens of communal social engineering.
Articulation and Leadership rhetoric. You know exactly what the problem is.

The Aim of 370 is not to facilitate marriages, there is no need for such speeches providing cannon fodder to opposition.
 
Just check out the boundary of POJK. Dogra Rajputs were not idiots. They created a state which dominated all the mountains leading into their state. The boundaryline of POJK is the last pir panjal range hills over looking Islamabad and the plains of earstwhile India which led from khyber pass.

The densely populated red bordered area should be left as a hell hole. N & NE of it recover as PoJK with Chitral areas as interest of 72 years.

Balochistan and Sindh as new states

This is what we should recover - the one demarcated by the red line - get some part of Chitral and others as bonus + interest for occupying PoJK for 72 years. This portion in yellow (< 25 ppl per sq Km) and light brown (< 25-74 ppl per sq km) should be very much manageable. This will truly provide a very broad corridor to Afghanistan and Central Asia.

Preparation, determination in public and leadership, some hard diplomacy, consolidating economic gains.

Preparing the chiken to be cleaned, we need to keep it in hot water.

After that, 7 months to 3 years.

We may have finally removed the pest problem on our west.


As for now, nothing more serious than 27th or 3/4th will happen

pretty impressive training from Baba :)
 
Article 1 of the constitution states that "India is a union of states". While not explicitly stating that constitution is federal, but nevertheless 'federal' is the spirit that permeates the organizing principle of the state. This means state and union are two faces of the same coin. One cannot deface the former without scarring the latter.

It is not my argument that the union government cannot reorganize a state. Like I stated earlier, Article 3 provides the rules and even though it recommends consulting the state assembly, but concurrence with the state assembly is not mandatory to go forward with the reorganization. This is not unprecedented. What is unprecedented is to reduce a state enjoying full statehood to a union territory. This is clearly against the federal spirit, because as the domicile of a state which has been demoted to union territory, the legislature that I elect is less than equal to the power enjoyed by the assemblies of full states. How can the domicile of the affected state be happy about his less than equal position, vis-a-vis domicile of other states.

Lack of Constitutional check or balance Is what this step not only unprecedented but also retrograde. Unless this action, as a result of the reorganization bill not withstanding a judicial review, is stayed by the SC there check against its future abuse.

Like a ruling party enjoying brute majority in both houses of the parliament, could impose Article 356 in any state and getaway with the murder of democracy, this reorganization bill has all the ominous signs of a new 'Article 356' in the making.
You are correct. But, It is for a good reason. Kashmir is a problematic territory. So, we can give them the benefit of doubt now.

Indian middle class is unaware of civil liberties. They romanticise dictatorship. They are aspirational. They demand change even at the odds basics of democracy. Maybe this is the best we can hope for !.

Openly telling to kill hindus but if repeat of 1990 occurs , we shouldn't hold back this time. Remember we Hindus have only one country has our own , we need to fight for it till the last man.
medieval barbarians thats how they were doing in 13th & 14th centuries and thats what they are following now. When ppl talk about violence perpetrated by them they claim islamaphobia.
 
Why is it Govt simply denying any protest happening? There will be protest. What is new about that? They should be allowed to protest. That is fundamental to any democracy. Govt should be controlling it not concealing.

Absolutely let them protest , AP was burning after bifurcation and we expect nothing to happen in Kashmir
Should government fund protests? When people are not interested in more violence why do we want it? Removal of 370 only brings benefit to common man there, vested interests are already running for cover.

Zabardasti protests karva dein? Or just for sake of feeling democratic let Pakistan proxies run riots? It's job of government to stop the rumours and if needed use lies and deception to prevent any bloodshed, will be better if we don't teach them how to do it.

Remember there is no shortage of smartphones for videos in Kashmir and no shortage of Pakistani sympathizers in Kashmir and in Delhi camping just for those videos. Even if you deploy few million forces you still won't be able to stop those videos reaching Delhi and internet. If they still don't have any such video then reset assured there isn't any so called protests big enough.

Whatever 30-40 people at a place protesting covering them will actually damage their own hype and analysis they fed to Indians so not shown.

Who are you or the state to decide what is beneficial to them? We live in a democratic republic. I choose representatives so that they can make decisions behalf of me. Did they have the privilege?

You think the entire population is sold out to pakistan? Everyone is anti-indian? Just because there are some does that mean you take out right of every regular indian? Does that seems fair to you?

You are making them more indian by the removal of Article 370 so that they can enjoy every right in our constitution. Then black out communication and their right to protest? Oh the irony.

This is like Brits saying 'in the end we gave you democracy'. What is the value of it when you destroy every goodwill of the people?

Concerned about public opinion or goodwill/prosperity of the population. Choose one?. How does the opinion of BBC or AlAkber matter in the long run?
