| Article 370 is dead ; very few can dare say - Long live Art 370 | | |
By B.L Saraf
If Art 370 had the blackmailing value , as contending parties argued , then it was good to see Duke Wellington’s refrain –“ Publish and be damned “ come into the play and relieve nation of the ‘ hostage syndrome ‘ .
On 5th August 2019 , with the stroke of a pen the erstwhile Jammu and Kashmir built with the blood and sweat of Dogra warriors , disappeared ; only to reappear in truncated shape of two union territories – with one having some semblance of a democratic pretence : in as much as it will have an elected Assembly . But profile of its legislature too has suffered a change . Legislative Council – popularly ... |

| | Countering false narrative on Article 370 | | |
K B Jandial
While there is urgent need to reach out to the simmering Kashmir to assuage their outraged sentiments and to clarify that the “scrapped” article 370 was never pro-Kashmir, some sections of the national media especially the leading magazines are, deliberately or inadvertently, resorting to distorted and erroneous interpretation of constitution’s temporary and special provisions. And more regrettably this is going on un-countered, strengthening plethora of misleading narratives in J&K that is neither in the interest of people of the state nor of the country.
Some are trying to create a mischievous linkage of “abrogation” of article 370 to Hinditva agenda by referring t... |

Access to internet is basic right – Kerala High Court
We have come to witness a strange phenomenon. Probably, it has something to do with the times we live in: that when some disturbances occur in any part of the country – minor or major – internet connectivity becomes the foremost causalty. Public authorities snap it at the first available occasion as if to work as panacea of all the ills. May be in certain situations and for shorter durations it is desirable. But net’s prolonged blackout, in much case, proves counter -productive, and, in effect, does quite the opposite of what is actually intended. Absence of a legitimate and authentic source of information leaves ... |

Prof.M.K Bhat
Television debates, social media posts, statements from various political parties etc ever since the abrogation of article 370 has led to the labeling of people as patriots and anti nationals. “We the people of India” is getting lost in this rhetoric created by motor mouthed people with particular interests. Everyone feels that his version is the only truth and is least interested to listen to the other opinion. The TV channels have adopted it as a profit model to get higher TRP and political parties try to show either hyper nationalism or carry the views antagonistic to Indian interests simply to polarize the voters in the country. Quite often the viewer glued ... |

K.N. Pandita
UN Human Rights Council’s 42nd session has just come to an end in Geneva. My more than twenty year experience at the UN in Geneva is that it has not been fair to India in regard to Kashmir cause. This bigotry is traceable to the days of British colonial rule over India.
In her opening statement the UN High Commissioner on Human Rights gave two short paragraphs on Kashmir in which she has been unreasonably critical.
The High Commissioner says “coming to my office” say this and that. Who are her reporters and who vouches for their credibility.?
She says she is concerned about the impact of recent actions of GOI on the human rights of the people. One may ask were was... |

| | Kashmir hysteria grips Pakistan | | |
K N Pandita
Kashmir is all that Pakistan talks about these days. On 14 August, the day on which Great Britain created Pakistan in 1947, Imran Khan was in Muzaffarabad instigating PoK “nationalists”, (the long-time adversaries of Pakistan), that India had snatched away Kashmir from them. He purported to convey through them a message to PoK expatriates in the UK who responded by making a massive protest demonstration in front of the Indian Mission in London. The London police made a mock show of preventive measures.
Armed insurgency and aazaadi (freedom) slogan were actually initiated by PoK’s UK-based Diaspora in the early 1980s on the behest of ISI. These criminals had kidnapped... |

We are witness to the history of J&K in the making. Undeterred by the controversies and adverse fallout of demonetisation of currency and emboldened by huge public support for the most daring surgical strikes in PoK and Balakote, the nation witnessed Modi’s yet another stunning masterstroke on 5th August 2019. The nation was pleasantly thrilled when Amit Shah informed Rajya Sabha that the President invoking power vested in Clause 3 of Article 370 has issued. The Constitution (Application to Jammu & Kashmir) Order 2019 superseding the earlier Presidential Order of 1954 and abrogated all clauses of Article 370 except a clause he proposed in the Statutory Resolution adopted ... |
