Many indians come up with the idea that by removing article 370 they will flood kashmir valley with indian immigrants. But here is a problem kashmir is not a rich state by any means. Moreover the kashmir valley (muslim area) is highly overpopulated already and does not have any economic acitivty so I can only laugh at indians who think they will somehow tame kashmiris by removing article 370.
You have a really wrong idea about Indian situation. There is no Indian 'immigrants'. We will simply move in to the state and equally invest as Kashmiri businessmen do in India. Not to mention that half the Kashmiri population (pandits, sikhs and buddhists) are displaced because of communal violence by the muslims of the valley. This has to be changed. ARTICLE 370 was simply a design to make Kashmir another economic-avers, dolanomic-habituated state.
And that is what is created joblessness in Kashmir. This is what has frustrated the people there. No jobs, no money, limited affordability, mullaism and the cycle keeps repeating.
Historically, BJP never won a single seat there but this time, it is equal to the largest party in the state. Why? Because people want jobs, money, house, peace, prosperity, education and healthcare.
Jihad cannot fetch that. Only death, misery, pain, poverty and frustration.
There was no article 370 before 1950s , were there any migration to Kashmir valley before that period , no never actually the opposite the prolonged cold climate of kashmir valley (heavey snows in winter) has caused many famines in past centuries forcing rural kashmiri muslims to move down south in punjab. Historically kashmir has been source of migration not the other way around except some hindu brahmins who migrated from different indian states.
Historically, many things were different. And if you didn't know, Kashmir valley is not exactly the coldest place in India. Ladakh, my state Sikkim, Himachal and Uttarakhand especially near the border are far more ruthlessly cold. Does that mean that we are not living here?
We are living here and happily so. Today due to modern facilities, a lot can be changed. Heaters can replace bonfires. So that is not a problem.
Oh and the Hindus didn't migrate to Kashmir. They existed always before your religion was even born.
It was a constitutional provision given to the state of J&K which paved a culture of dolanomics and appeasement to the satraps there.
Here read about it.
It has done more damage than any good to the state.
