Article 370 Needs to Stay Gone!


Ha ha...the sheer nerve 😅!

I've been opposed to a lot of actions of the NDA government over the last ten years. But one thing I have supported wholeheartedly is the scrapping of Article 370. Even us secularists know that Kashmir before January 1990 and Kashmir after January 1990 are two different Kashmirs with two different political realities.

The minute you drove out Kashmiri Hindus (and how! my residential society and school absorbed some of them in early 1990s, so we know the truth!) you lost all moral right to expect any special status of any kind! Simply forget about it. A far better question to mull over is: Itna behudaa kaam karne ke baad bhi hamaari namaaz qabool hoti hai kya?

All citizens will live with equal rights and privileges in this country. There will be no special status for any religion, no reservations based on religion, no special status for any state with this religious majority or that religious majority, no part of this country is going to succeed in any separatist agenda. We are, and are going to stay, the Secular Republic of India. Those who don't like this are certainly welcome to emigrate to other parts of the world! With our very best wishes!
