Article 370 35A and Pakistan: Lalit K Kaul

  Article 370 35A and Pakistan                                                                                                                        Lalit K Kaul Pakistani media is crying hoarse about abrogation of the Article 370 and 35A by the Indian Parliament on 05 08 2019 and the PM and FM of Pakistan have been saying that there shall be no talks with India unless these said articles are restored!

  To Trust PAGD is Suicidal Mr. Prime Minister Lalit K Kaul History of a place has its variants like, 1) Documented History, 2) History of experiences and 3) History as conveyed through word of mouth. First one can be biased because the historian may have certain political inclinations, but the last two are factual unbiased versions of what indeed the people experienced and were conveyed to them through word of mouth down the generations. Politicians are inclined to narrate the history in the way that serves their political interests and therefore their version(s) cannot be trusted with. The people of erstwhile state of J&K have been the victims of distorted history as publicly narrated day in and day out by their depraved leadership; the costs of which are impossible to estimate. The J&K society stands communally divided and traumatized the reasons for which are too well known to be once again narrated here, yet a few points are in order. History as per Experience:
