Kashmir at the Boiling Point as Elections Loom

The Diplomat  

As Kashmir gears up for its first local assembly election in a decade, there is a battle underway. By framing the genesis of a vexing political conflict as a mere corollary to economic instability and arguing that Kashmir’s special status scuppered economic development, the right-wing Bharatiya Janata Party aims to legitimize its monopolization of power in J&K and deflect focus from the organized disempowerment of Kashmiris, which has intensified in the past five years. But in primetime news telecasts, there are howling campaigns to vilify Kashmir’s Muslim majority and its leadership as the “dangerous other.” The news cycle also circulates the Modi government’s specious argument that ending Kashmir’s special status was necessary to uproot militancy. In their public meetings, Abdullah and Peoples Democratic Party leader Mehbooba Mufti – both are former chief ministers of J&K – have pledged to fight the ominous political shadow looming over Kashmir: a perceived threat to local demography, affronts to people’s religious sentiment, and an administration run by a handful of bureaucrats who have walled themselves off from contrarian viewpoints. The Jammu and Kashmir Media Policy 2020 enunciated various dos-and-don’ts for journalists, and conferred on the government the power to decide what constituted “fake, anti-national, or unethical” news and initiate action for violation of its guidelines.
