We in south India wish that in our lifetime one wish will be to visit Kashmir. Before 2014 it will be done was our permanent plan after plan. Now at the rate at which it's going on, it looks hard to even think of even planning to go to see the land of our dreams shattered by the people of Kashmir's brother's opposition not to be Indians and only Kashmir.
The politicians who ruled Kashmir for 70 years took it for granted that their families can rule the state forever fooling the people of Kashmir by keeping them in fear by making it appear that the special status that was given to them was permanent. The people who ruled India never had the courage to remove the special status. The innocent people went on with their day to day life not knowing what was going on for 70 years.
Everything changed in 2014 and 2019 which was unexpected by anyone. People had changed the young turned old. The next generation took over and another generation made India just by being born they got power and that power was the right to vote. 3rd generation with their parent generation was restless. They had the knowledge, education and young age, high ambition but no skill. graduates were bus conductors, drivers and waiters. Few went to politics, few were hoping ad waiting to get in to learn skills in engineering. Kashmir had no future and many left to other states for a living. The young who remained were victims of unlawful activities which they had taken care of bread and shelter.
Kashmir was in a mess and people close to the border started visiting because they were also in similar situation.
it will be hard to get people who have something organized by choice or otherwise in yo such trade that they could work or take up any job that they could do. Being young they were not highly educated not because they had financial issues or anything else, they saw educated friends who were well of in other states in education but they were not getting jobs. They could not get jobs as their college education was perhaps was not upgraded to the level of colleges of other states. Another major drawback was students and teachers discipline was not satisfactorily maintained.
For 70 years no major industry was set up. How can anyone come to set up any industry when no land is given. All and every activity was controlled by the family of 4 0r 5 persons and they that, they thought they were sitting on a diamond mine besides they thought J & K was a forbidden place for any industry and others won't come to build any industry. Having a cosy life with money being sent from Delhi. They looted all development funds and merrily went on in politics and political activities which were not planned and the govt also turn the other way looking for their better choice and forgetting KASHMIR was their baby.
On the other side is Pakistan our neighbourhood nation which is constantly sending terrorists disturbing peace in addition to the ruling government a permanent (by temporary article 370 & 35 of our constitution) headache demanding talks.
Pakistan does not deny sending terrorists to India, Foreign Minister S Jaishankar told French daily Le Monde this week, adding that if Islamabad is serious about establishing friendlier relations with New Delhi it must hand over wanted criminals.
The Chief of Pakistan Army is on an extended period of service by the Supreme Court of Pakistan for the fear of tensions with on the border of Pakistan occupied Kashmir. Since India has abrogated article 370 & 35 of the constitution which says that these are temporary in the Indian constitution. India has now kept Kashmir & Jammu status as their union territory and the political leaders are kept under protection making it hard for tourists to come as usual by any transport besides their stay in Kashmir. and my wife now does not know when we can visit J & K. ( We hope it will be possible by March 2020 as this is the period for tourists to their DREAM of visiting their (Ours too) Paradise in India.]
