For those who don't know, there has been issue with Kashmir and both India and Pakistan claims that the land is theirs.
So in history, when Kashmir was to get integrated with India, it signed an agreement with India (Article 370) that Kashmir will have certain special privileges.
These were : Only native people of Kashmir can buy and own land in Kashmir, jobs in Kashmir to be given only to Kashmiris and Indian government can make any policy in Kashmir only with the approval of Kashmiri elected ministers.
The article has now been revoked and hence people from any part of the country can buy land there and the Indian government can directly control Kashmir as an union territory.
Personally I feel this is a good decision because it will lead to equality and no special privileges.... But if we see in the broader sense, it will surely cause much much more civil war along side terrorism when a traditional privilege is suddenly taken away.
Beside is the fact that the government is right wing hindu nationalist party and many ministers of this party are communal and has talked dirty about the presence of Kashmiri Muslims. So many are worried about the native of Kashmiris as well. Thus it gives a narrative that the government didn't do it for the betterment of country rather to appease its broad right wing extremist vote bank.
What's your opinion?
If Indian government signed an agreement means they can't change the rules right? So how they are changing the rules as they want after years?So in history, when Kashmir was to get integrated with India, it signed an agreement with India (Article 370) that Kashmir will have certain special privileges.

It might be good for the people who love equality but if the government did with the thought of dumping the minority vote banks then surely there will be a chaos soon on that land.Hopefully people won't get hurted in this emergency situation.
