Short Communication
It’s not a hidden fact that the Indian government wants sole claim over the State or now known as the Union Territory of Jammu and Kashmir. Kashmir is no stranger to lockdowns, curfews and military crackdowns when rules are not followed, and has always been the primary talking point whenever someone wants to defend the Indian Armies might or every time Pakistan threatens to free Kashmir from India’s stronghold.
It is interesting to note that for a state that everyone wants a piece of nobody in reality pays
much heed to what the inhabitants of the state want. The narrative here is not just political but
it is important to understand that no conversation about Kashmir can ever be apolitical. Everything that happens or has happened in the UT of Kashmir since India’s independence in 1947 till the Abrogation of Article 370 in 2019, is always going to be political.
