  Changes Implemented post abrogation of Art 370/35A Hari OM 1. Flaw rectified: Non-JK women from Delhi, HP, Punjab and other states married in J&K will get JK Domicile Certificates. 2. Gender equality finally established in J&K. Now, children of women holding PRC are also eligible for J&K Domicile Certificates. Hitherto, only father's PRC was considered a valid document. 3. 35-A/370 gone and with them palatial bungalows and special houses also gone. Many former ministers, legislators, bureaucrats and other so-called VIPs made to vacate illegally occupied bungalows and special houses in Jammu Srinagar. The Leftover 89 such illegal occupants to be thrown out forcibly.

Few Reasons why our Political System is Degenerate

  Few Reasons why our Political System is Degenerate                                                                                                                          Lalit K Kaul 1.        Opposition parties are to only oppose anything and everything that the ruling party may legislate. Like, nuclear test during NDA regime was opposed / criticised by the entire opposition. BJP, while in opposition, opposed Aadhar Card implementation. This is not by choice, but as a duty because all political parties have implicit understanding on it. 2.        Anybody can float a party; anybody can become a politician; more the number of crimes more the reason to become a politician; always welcome in any / all party’s fold if capacity to garner votes (muscle power) 3.        Political parties are allowed to be run as a family fiefdom. 4.        Every MP and MLA can get away with whatever they may speak in both the houses of Parliament and respective Vidhan Sabhas.

The Motivating Factor for Disruptive Agenda:   A cartoonist’s transition to being a politician was motivated by his perceptions that non Bombayites are devouring the jobs of Bombayites and that Bombay was only for ‘sons of the soil’.

Other religious groups had a miniscule presence in Kashmir Valley. The one’s among the Kashmiris who resisted conversions survived only by either fleeing to 1) other regions of the sub continent by crossing mountain passes on foot or 2) the dense forests of Kashmir. That section which offered mighty resistance to the onslaught came to be classified as Kashmiri Pandits from being Kashmiris since thousands of years.   The perpetuated barbarism of the Muslim rulers (of foreign origin) in forcing conversions upon the “non-believers” came to halt when Guru Teg Bahadur ji set an inimitable example of supreme sacrifice.
