J&K bifurcation: Keeping Valley with Jammu will make things worse; end of decades-old revolt only possible if Kashmir gets autonomy

Firstpost  

The Narendra Modi government’s action of abrogating Article 370 is reminiscent of the precipitous “demonetisation” that marked the downturn of the economy which still shows no sign of looking up. The new UT of Jammu and Kashmir effectively means an end to full democracy and self-governance, and leaving an area bigger than many full states of the Indian Union and with a population of more than 14 million with a government with much less power and authority than enjoyed by the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir. Hyderabad, India’s biggest princely state and an inheritor of varied traditions including the Sathavahanas, Kakatiyas, Bahmanis and Mughals was, like Jammu and Kashmir, stitched together with three large and distinct regions. All the many regions of the erstwhile princely state of Jammu and Kashmir, whether in India or under the control of Pakistan, have by and large settled down under their new national identities, except the Kashmir Valley. Instead, it seems by linking Kashmir in an unnatural union with Jammu and bringing them under Delhi’s direct rule, India is only offering the troubled people of Kashmir a choice of jackboots.
