IHK’s grim reality

[DAWN] THE dire predictions of Kashmire observers and human rights
One man's rights are another man's existential threat.
groups have proved correct. The special status given to India-held Kashmire under Article 370 of the Indian constitution has been all but removed through a resolution in the upper house of parliament, in a move to avoid the lawful route of a constitutional amendment. India is poised to forcibly convert Indian Kashmiree into a Union Territory in violation of all its commitments, including those made at the UN.
The resolution and a presidential order were used to deprive the Jammu & Kashmire assembly of the right to have a say in any changes desired in its status. Meanwhile,
...back at the dirigible, the pilot and the copilot had both hit the silk.
Jack! Cynthia exclaimed. Do you know how to drive one of these things?
Jack wiped some of the blood from his knuckles.
No, he said. Do you? ...
a bill in parliament called for separating Ladakh from J&K, but if this amounted to justifying the division of areas on the basis of faith, it was not something that the BJP leaders were likely to lose sleep over, reassured of their own powers of intimidation after their election win earlier this year. Not just that, they also drew strength from India’s image in the international community as a prospering capitalist model.
as well as Pak's decreasing status and dimwitted leader, Khhhhaaan!
The changes reduce IHK to the status of a colony. The special status the region enjoyed since 1954 was basically a measure that guarded against any attempt at changing the demography of an overwhelmingly Moslem Kashmire. Its abolition could mean an invasion of the Valley sponsored by the BJP in its current belligerent mood.
The move will have violent consequences. The Kashmiris have shown in recent months that, although abandoned by many supporters, their ability to take on the might of the occupiers has far from diminished. In fact, it is the subterfuge, the force, the tricks employed by the BJP that have stoked the fires.
Pakistain has vowed to campaign against the new developments, which the world must have known were in the making. Serious concern of the latest Indian action in IHK was being expressed for some time. Paks will be asking their government as to what exactly transpired, and in precisely what context did Kashmire feature, at the recent meeting between Prime Minister Imran Khan
... aka The Great Khan , who who convinced himself that playing cricket qualified him to lead a nuclear-armed nation with severe personality problems...
and President Donald Trump
 ...His ancestors didn't own any slaves...
Indeed, Islamabad is being advised to link its support for the normalisation of Afghanistan in a post-American pullout scenario with Kashmire. That is easier said than done given the current sense of global indifference towards IHK. The world watched in silence as thousands of troops moved into the disputed occupied valley in recent days. Few took notice ‐ even though there may be no cruder version of how a majority living by the tenets of an ideology built on fear of a minority than the one present today in Kashmire.
The hatred inherent in such a brand of politics has been formally accepted as fair and correct by a parliamentary decree in the biggest democracy of the world.
