  G20 UAE Tourism & Yog: Therapies Rejected by Political Cancer in J&K Lalit k kaul Tall claims about having restored normalcy in J&K have come to nought; the never-ending orchestra played out by the electronic, digital and print media eulogizing the “grand success” of “Kashmir Policy” as implemented by Modi-Shah duo has gone silent; as it’s back to Square One in the UT of J&K as far as anti-India sentiment is concerned. The anti-India and pro-Pak political forces have once again displayed their destructive might immediately after such forces were handed over a resounding victory in the just concluded LS elections in the Valley. They did Rajouri, Reasi, Doda, Baramullah and Sopore; not to forget the stern warning handed over to Kashmiri Pandits by setting ablaze centuries old Shiv temple in Gulmarg. The doctrine of “defeating terrorism by tourism” responded to by killing two terrorists in Kashmir! And, much more to come! When? Post Assembly elections w...

  Despite Rajouri Reasi Doda Doda & Counting Kashmir Problem Remains Resolved Nehruji"s “Blunders" Rectified Lalit K Kaul All the claims made by BJP led government in the Center and the party itself on achieving in J&K that no other non-BJP government in the past had been able to, have been buried deep into the ground by the events that have been happening in the UT post declaration of Lok Sabha election results from the Valley. The content of election campaign by PDP and NC was ominous.. It was ominous for those who had been independently analyzing political situation in J&K post August 5, 2019 and reason to celebrate for those who had once again succeeded in fooling the policy makers in Delhi by refraining from countering the policies by coming on to the streets. For, their time was to come and therefore it was important to maintain lull before the storm and utilize the available time for preparing for full scale assaults. The campaigns of Apni Party and P...

  Kashmir LS Election Results Assert that Leopard doesn't Change Its Spots Lalit K Kaul For all the claims of BJP regarding restoration of peace and normalcy in Kashmir and its intent to buy political affiliations by flooding J&K with development related Investments leading to creation of job opportunities for “educated" unemployed, the political landscape in the Valley has remained unchanged as is clearly evident from the election results. What are the reasons for it? The following lines attempt to decipher such reasons. The Character of Muslim Politics: Religion is not divorced from politics; it plays a significant role in controlling the political trajectory like a guided missile that's programmed to hit the target. Those who would have studied the role of the political and religious leadership of Muslims in partitioning of India would know that Muslims can be aroused (unified) effortlessly under the banner of Islam. This becomes very clear when one unders...

  J&K: Article 370 and Lok Sabha Elections- The Relationship Lalit K Kaul Can Lok Sabha elections be conducted in J&K? The possibility of holding one is dictated by the status of Article 370; that's, whether it's in vogue or not. Thus, Article 370 can be the inhibitor/facilitator in/of the process. But the degenerate political system that has been thriving post Sri Lal Bahadur Shastri era and has excelled in maximizing the exploitation of the adage “Politics is the Art of the Possible” does not recognize any legalities, constitutional validities and moral imperatives and in their lust for capturing political power set such narratives in public domain-while canvassing-that may end-up doing incalculable harm to the very fabric of Indian society, the body politic and integrity of India. It's election time in J&K and misleading the potential voters and poisoning their minds by the leaders of the local political outfits is unabashed. The regional parties ar...

  It's Time that a non-Muslim became the CM of the UT of J&K Lalit K Kaul Fundamentally speaking, there is no such provision in the Constitution of India which obligates that in a non-Muslim majority State a Non-Muslim should become the CM and in a Muslim majority State a Muslim. That's why it was that Sri Abdul Gafoor became the CM of Bihar in the decade of 80s and that a non-Muslim majority Nation had seen many Muslim Rashtrapati. More than the Constitution of India, it's about the history of existence of the last 76 years in J&K which stares into everyone's face reminding them unambiguously and vociferously how this experiment of having a Muslim CM in the erstwhile J&K state had not only failed its people but also traumatized its heterogeneous society having succeeded in transforming Kashmir into a homogeneous one. It was an experiment that the Constitution of India didn't necessitate, but that the then political situation, perhaps, did. Any...

  CAA & Persecuted Minorities in Islamic State of Kashmir                                                                                  Lalit K Kaul Whenever our Prime Minister, Sri Narendra D. Modi, speaks in an international forum he never forgets to make use of the phrase: “World is One Family" and he relates this world-view to “Bhartiya Sanskriti" as derived from the Vedic thought. But what he doesn't tell his audience is that membership of this family is a privileged one in India as it comes at a premium. An individual or a community and a religious sect naturally qualify...
