Indian Opinion

Mukesh Devrari Pakistanis are obsessed with Kashmir. The madness in Pakistani media is just spectacular to observe. Media is only taking the cues from the state. It has become difficult for Pakistan to accept that the two-nation theory has no place in the Modern World. It is impossible for the Islamic separatist movement in Kashmir to succeed. It is unlikely to succeed in any part of the world in this day and age.  India as an aspiring modern nation determined to fight against Islamists in Kashmir. The entire world has seen how Kashmir valley was ethnically cleansed by terrorists and their radicalized supporters aided and abetted by Pakistan. All the Hindu families, otherwise known as Hindu Pandits were forced to leave their homes. Their vacated properties were seized by their Muslim neighbours with a sense of impunity. Their houses were burned by militants so that they could never return.  Islamic militants gave Kashmiri Hindus two choices. Either to conver...

Mukesh Devrari It is just amazing how China and Pakistan are openly working against India. It is a time for Prime Minister Narendra Modi to completely do away with the Nehruvian era foreign policy of maintaining an independent stance on world affairs and come openly against China on all major issues including banning Chinese companies on security grounds. The policy of maintaining equal distance from all existing superpowers costed India heavily in the past, it is still doing the same.   China decided to attack India in 1962 because of the non-aligned policy. Imagine if Nehru would have openly joined the US or Soviet camp and signed a security pact as Indira Gandhi did before the 1971 war, then China would not have imagined attacking India without risking a war with existing superpowers. Although it appears amazing that communist dictators of China are calling for a meeting to discuss the Kashmir issue at United Nations security council. Communist regime in China...

Mukesh Devrari First, India is not China. It is not possible for any party to change the demography of any state. Second, people in other states are not waiting to move inside Kashmir and Ladakh in droves as it is being projected. Thirdly, details are not known how the property rights will be managed in newly created Union territories of J&K and Ladakh. It is important for the central government to clarify details to counter the influx of rumours. It seems BJP has no plans to keep J&K as a union territory, but it has been declared UT so that central government could have direct control over the state police as they have it in New Delhi for the time being. Kashmiri rulers are no saints. BJP is using their blunders as justification to scrap both the articles, including their decision of not allowing thousands of Hindu migrants from Pakistan in 1947 to vote in legislative assembly elections. And also, their refusal to implement many central laws including reservation ...

Mukesh Devrari The state of J&K is being discussed around the globe. It will remain in the news cycle for the next few days. Abrupt scrapping of article 370 and 35A came as a shock to the nation. J&K is a privileged state of the Indian Union. It has its own constitution. Central laws are not automatically applied to it. Legislative assembly of the state can also decide the rights of state subjects. People from other parts of India are not allowed to buy immovable property, apply for government jobs and avail educational scholarships in the state of J&K. All these rules will now become history as BJP government is repealing article 370 and 35A.  J&K consists of Jammu, Ladakh and Kashmir valley. BJP has decided to convert J&K into a Union Territory with its own legislative assembly. Ladakh region will also be a Union Territory but without a legislature. Kashmir valley is a Muslim majority region and source of all the troubles for India. Jammu and La...
