Most who must have been given domicile certificates are actual residents of Kashmir - i.e. Ethnic Kashmiris. Btw, what's the story on the other side? Can Pakistanis from all over Pak settle in Pak Kashmir? Or that's not allowed?
And if someone moved there in the 1940s - after 70 odd years - what's the hassle if given residency status? They moved from Sialkot mostly.
And Gurkhas moved there in the 19th century from India/Nepal border region.
Domicile certificates makes their kids go to schools / colleges under quotas and avail state scholarships.
Comparing this to Israel is ridiculous.
No issue with that i.e. they have lived in Kashmir for ages and are communities from Kashmir i.e. Kashmiri Muslims, Pandits, Dogras etc.
The problem is all the rest who can apply and try to settle, but that's now also being opposed by the communities outlined above.
No you can't settle in AJK if you are from outside the region. The population has remained constant, in line with natural increases through the birth rate.
