Violence was down to barely a trickle, tourism was up, the local economy had been on an upswing for a good period of time. These are all facts.
This isn't the 90s anymore.
The "real" separatists, they wanted away from both, all 3, actually.
They are treated just fine, but thanks for your deep concern.
Garbage.
Non-kashmiri Indians now have rights to settle and occupy land that they never had under Art 370, a fundamental right that was once enshrined in the constitution of Bharat. Kashmiri Muslims simply wished to avoid the dalitisation of mainland Indian muslims that has accelerated over the last 20 years. Would you like examples of how India has dalitised Indian muslims to the point where their religion, history, language and culture are declared non-grata by their own nation? We can open a separate thread on that if required.
Essentially you have enabled a demographic remodelling of Kashmir, contrary to the desires of the natives of that land. And moreover, this is enabled deliberately because of the majority faith practiced in that region.
The evidence for Delhi's desire to achieve the ultimate goal of demographic remodelling is not merely based on contemporary instances, but extends as far back as 1947, when the massacres of Jammu state's muslims actually altered the demographic balance between muslims and Hindus.
Of course, that is not a practicable method today for Delhi to pursue, so the method is different but the end objective is identical - to turn muslims of Kashmir into a subservient minority while Hindus attain demographic and financial dominance.
We know the plan well. Saffronists would have done this across the whole subcontinent in 1947 if it were not for Jinnah's intervention.
This alone is more than enough to fan the flames of local insurgency by the Kashmiri people. Pakistan doesn't even need to offer any material or ideological support to this cause. But be assured, we know well the game being played by Delhi and will counter it in any case, as it remains a fundamental threat to the entire subcontinent.
