Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in his Independence Day speech on Thursday that his government's decision to strip autonomy from the part of Kashmir it controls would be a significant development in the region.

While that has to some degree happened, it has also allowed separatist ideas, the causes of the radical left, as well as a small but vulnerable section of young Indian Muslims. After 2016, the thread of these different groups, a hostility was bound to Mr modi and the Indian State - in your imagination, which is now side by side as a.

In Public Opinion in the rest of India , this led to a counter-reaction.

It was not only because of Mr. modes demonized was - although the Prime Minister reduce the personal popularity and it would be too simple to be this complex phenomenon to a single.

It occurred because the public impatience with Kashmiri politicians, with Kashmiri "victim role", with Kashmiri secessionist tendencies, had, with violent street protests in Kashmir-and Kashmir-related terrorism, reached a historic peak.

It was not sufficiently appreciated is that Kashmir is a Conflict Zone (and by extension, Pakistan) is no longer a discourse limited to Northern India , but she is busy with the whole Country .

An obvious result was and is a frustration with the Status Quo in Kashmir, and a weariness of what is seen as the familiar cycle of sacrifice and violence, blackmail and bluster. Politically, the ground was fertile for a break from The Past and for a new initiative, however, daring may be.
