  • Deepening Tragedy
    Deepening tragedy SHOWKAT A. MOTTA Print edition : Mehbooba Mufti at the press conference in Srinagar on June 19 where she announced her government’s resignation afte Bharatiya Janata Party pulled out of the ruling coalition. The BJP pulls out of the ruling alliance and brings down the government in Jammu and Kashmir in a move made with the Lok Sabha elections in mind even as the State sinks into greater depths of violence and militancy. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Amit Shah has demonstrated a ruthless streak ever since he arrived in New Delhi. He has broken political alliances in States from outside (Bihar), staked a claim to government without a legislative majority (Goa, Meghalaya), and won in some States by poaching other parties’ leaders (Nagaland). He played the “Hindu card” to achieve a last-minute win in his home State (Gujarat), and has taken on established parties through the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) by portraying RSS workers killed by activists of the opposition as “martyrs” (Kerala), and encouraged inghting in two other State parties (West Bengal). Jammu and Kashmir remained relatively distant from Shah’s Machiavellianism until June 19, when he pulled the rug from under the feet of Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti and brought down the three-and-half- year-old coalition government in the most volatile State of India. Long before the BJP’s sudden announcement of withdrawal from the alliance, however, the daggers were drawn within the forced political marriage between the BJP and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). The two parties, which had overzealously campaigned against each other right until the end of the 2014 Assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir, were bound to cut loose, sooner or later.

  • Title: Reported News About the Increase in Cases of Human Rights Violation in Jammu & Kashmir
    nt> Title: Reported news about the increase in cases of Human Rights violation in Jammu & Kashmir. SHRI OMAR ABDULLAH (SRINAGAR): Mr. Speaker, Sir, through you, I want to draw the attention of the Government to a pressing problem in the State of Jammu and Kashmir. Often, in the fight against terrorism, we hear statements being used about 'winning the hearts and minds of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, providing them with a healing touch, and making them feel that they are a part of this country'. But unfortunately, it seems, in the past year, we have failed miserably in winning the hearts and the minds of the people and in providing them with a healing touch. I would like to draw the attention of this Government to a newspaper article, a copy of which I have circulated with my notice, which details just how badly we are losing this fight for 'winning the hearts and minds of the people'. The position of human rights is the worst in the last seven years. I would like to quote some figures for this Government. These are not the figures that I am providing, but these are the figures provided by the State's Human Rights Commission, which details 29 cases of custodial killing, 82 cases of disappearances, 65 cases of harassment, and numerous other cases. Totally, 672 cases of human rights violations have been recorded with the State's Human Rights Commission, between April 2003 and June 2004. This is against only 51 cases in the year 1998-99. Through you, Sir, I would like to request the Government to take a long, hard look at the position of human rights in Jammu and Kashmir, to strengthen the mechanism of human rights protection, and to ensure that incidents like this do not take place.

  • Background to the Kashmir Conflict: Challenges and Opportunities
    Background to the Kashmir conflict: challenges and opportunities Kashmir Initiative Group This paper is the first in a series from the Kashmir Initiative Group (KIG). It provides background on the Kashmir context; four upcoming policy briefs will be launched over the next year. The paper reflects on the current landscape in the region and the opportunities and challenges for a dialogue process. The policy briefs will each focus on a particular issue – confidence building measures (CBMs), trade across the Line of Control (LoC), the withdrawal of NATO-led forces from Afghanistan, and youth engagement – to provide more in-depth analysis and practical policy recommendations. Introduction Efforts to peacefully resolve the long-standing led forces, ISAF (International Security Assistance dispute between India and Pakistan over Kashmir Force), from Afghanistan in 2014 could present have so far been unsuccessful.

Abstract: The Jammu and Kashmir state is consisted of three main cultural units and geographical divisions, namely, Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh. The Jammu and Kashmir state came in to being as a result of the conquest of the Punjab by the British in 1845. The territories of Jammu and Kashmir which formed a part of the Sikh state were separated from it. The Provinces of Kashmir and Gilgat were handed over to tax payer of Sikh Empire Gulab Singh, for a cash payment of seventy five lakh of rupees by the British. Gulab Singh was recognized the Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir. He laid the foundation of Dogra rule in the state. The Dogras retained the feudal structure of society, which the earlier rulers had already established in the state. The Muslim subjects who formed the majority of the population bore the heaviest brunt and burden of the Dogra autocracy which was restrictive, despotic and exploitative. The freedom movement was actually a vigorous struggle against the oppressive rule of Dogras. The present study with the role of National Conference in the politics of the state of Jammu and Kashmir. It started freedom struggle against autocratic ruler, Maharaja Hari Singh organized in 1931. The ideology of the National Conference is Socialism, Secularism, and Democracy.

  • INDIAN-ADMINISTERED KASHMIR | Trends in Conflict and Cooperation
    Indian-administered Kashmir | No 3 | June to July 2007 INDIAN-ADMINISTERED KASHMIR | Trends in Conflict and Cooperation The situation in Jammu & Kashmir (J&K) has not changed significantly. India and Pakistan reiterated their resolve to deal with outstanding issues between them, including Kashmir but the pace of the peace talks remains slow and no major breakthroughs were reported. The peace talks between India and Pakistan are overshadowed and further slowed down by the current political instability in Pakistan. President Musharraf faces a dilemma. On the one hand, he earned international support by making a U-turn on Islamabad's traditional stand on the Kashmir dispute (see FAST Update Feb-March 2007). On the other hand, Musharraf estranged Islamist groups in Pakistan who accuse him of making too many concessions to India. The storming of Islamabad's Lal Masjid (Red Mosque) by Pakistani troops has enraged Islamists across the country and in J&K. Indo-Pakistani relations have been further strained by the landmark nuclear deal struck between India and the US at the end of July; Pakistan perceives the nuclear deal as a threat, claiming it will allow India to produce nuclear weapons, and fears a shifting of its ally, the US, towards its regional rival India. India, on the other hand, could argue that it currently has no interest in pushing forward talks with Musharraf because it is not clear whether his successor will stick to any agreement reached. Additionally, India has shown little flexibility in making further concessions to Pakistan or Kashmiri separatists over the Kashmir issue. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s statement at Jammu University in mid-July that there is no question of changing the borders although these could be made irrelevant, reconfirmed India’s position that the Kashmir issue has to be resolved within the Indian constitution and through economic development.

  • Kashmir: Background, Recent Developments, and U.S
    Kashmir: Background, Recent Developments, and U.S. Policy Updated January 13, 2020 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R45877 SUMMARY R45877 Kashmir: Background, Recent Developments, January 13, 2020 and U.S. Policy K. Alan Kronstadt In early August 2019, the Indian government announced that it would make major changes to the Specialist in South Asian legal status of its Muslim-majority Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) state, specifically by repealing Affairs Article 370 of the Indian Constitution and Section 35A of its Annex, which provided the state “special” autonomous status, and by bifurcating the state into two successor “Union Territories” with more limited indigenous administrative powers. The changes were implemented on November 1, 2019. The former princely region’s sovereignty has been unsettled since 1947 and its territory is divided by a military “Line of Control,” with Pakistan controlling about one-third and disputing India’s claim over most of the remainder as J&K (China also claims some of the region’s land). The United Nations considers J&K to be disputed territory, but New Delhi, the status quo party, calls the recent legal changes an internal matter, and it generally opposes third-party involvement in the Kashmir issue. U.S. policy seeks to prevent conflict between India and Pakistan from escalating, and the U.S. Congress supports a U.S.-India strategic partnership that has been underway since 2005, while also maintaining attention on issues of human rights and religious freedom. India’s August actions sparked international controversy as “unilateral” changes of J&K’s status that could harm regional stability, eliciting U.S.
