Abrogation of Article 370

When, in a bold move, the Article 370 was abrogated and Jammu and Kashmir was divided in 3 territories, GoI was fully aware of its repercussions, hence it has imposed a total clamp down in these affected territories. Anyone who is aware of Article 370 and J&K issue would understand this clampdown.

However, common citizens like me do not understand as to what it will take for the GoI to bring Kashmir back to normalcy. Hence, I would say its prudent not to comment on "how" to get Kashmir to normalcy. Yes, we all naturally wish that the affected territories return back to normalcy sooner.

I am sure that the GoI is fully aware of the repercussions, internally as well as externally. Internally, as I understand, there are high chances of violence erupting in Srinagar and other parts of Kashmir while externally there may be disruptive, violent moves by the enemy neighbour.

From the media reports, it is quite evident that Pakistan and China are taken aback by this bold move by GoI and are disoriented as to what should they do. At the moment they are barking like rabid dogs in order to intimidate India.

Till now, India has tackled the international community firmly, intelligently and diplomatically by citing that what it has done (abrogation of article 370) is an internal matter of India. The dispute with Pakistan is only about PoK and nothing else. Pakistan or anyone from International community has absolutely no right to object on amendments in Indian Constitution. Only Indians, Parliamentarians of India and the Judiciary of India has this right.

I just hope that Pakistan does not escalate this issue and rather concentrate on its internal affairs. In my opinion, from the attitude of HM Amit Shah and DM Rajnath Singh, it is clear that any move by Pakistan to cause damage in India will be dealt with a very heavy hand, irrespective of its consequences.
