How the historical wrong had come about?
* India and Pakistan become independent.
* Maharaja Hari Singh, the king of Jammu and Kashmir tells our PM, Jawaharlal Nehru, he's willing to accede his country with India.
* Wily Pakistan sends in its troops into Jammu & Kashmir and go to war with the Indian Armed Forces.
* The Indian Armed Forces beat them and was winning the war when PM Nehru orders a ceasefire.
* Our forces are made to pull back but Pakistan refuses to withdraw from J&K territory. Pakistan
occupied Kashmir (PoK) comes into being.
* PM Nehru commits the second blunder. He takes the Kashmir issue to the UN and promises to carry out a referendum.
* Jammu and Kashmir gets special status under the Indian Constitution with newly structured Article 35A and Article 370.
Jammu and Kashmir had become a holy cow.
* Then began the misrules by the Abdullahs, the Muftis etc, etc.
* They ensured the following, over a period of time :-
- Maintained open hostility with the union governments but ensured that the state got all the benefits
and made sure that the integration of the state with the rest of India never took place.
- The Abdullahs, the Muftis and the other local parties kept building up their empires by amassing
enormous wealth, all handed over to J&K through the various schemes of the Government of India.
- There was always an effort to make it Muslim-dominated and in '91, by organising mass rapes of
Hindu women and murders of a wide cross section of the Hindu community succeeded in making
the Hindu population flee from J&K.
- Pakistan exploited the situation by frequent ceasefire violations on the LoC (Line of Control)
between the countries and by periodically sending terrorists into J&K.
- That the terrorists had a quiet backing of the local populace was the truth.
- And mind you, all this while it was ensured that no progress whatsoever of the state took place
by all the concerned rogues.
And then in 2014, Narendra Modi became the Indian Prime Minister. He initiated the following :-
* The Armed Forces were given a free hand to deal with ceasefire violations on the LoC.
* The terrorists were dealt with and eliminated.
* Articles 370 and 35 A were abrogated and the state was trifurcated into union territories of Jammu,
Kashmir and Ladakh.
* Pakistan was no more considered formidable and was brought down on its knees by cross-border
strikes by the Indian Armed Forces in PoK and the most decisive being in Balakot.
* Rapid strides in the all round development of the J&K region took place and continues to this day.
Improved communications through new highways, rail connectivity and telecom/TV have
integrated the state with the rest of India.
By doing the foregoing, Pakistan has been made irrelevant and we've openly acknowledged that China
is our enemy. By bloodying its nose more than once at Dokhlam, Galwan and Arunachal Pradesh and
elsewhere, China has realised that today's India was not the one like what they dealt with in 1962!
Today's landmark judgement by the Supreme Court of India in endorsing the abrogation of Articles 370 and 35 A of the Indian Constitution, India has been integrated from Kashmir to Kanyakumari!
Thank you, Prime Minister Narendra Modi for righting a historical wrong! Bash on regardless!!
Tailpiece.
Got up at a 10' past 6, the chores and was ready by a quarter to 10.
Went to town and completed a lot of pending jobs.
A quiet evening.
