Explanation:
his government has so far made a distinct shift in policy to deal with Pakistan by mending the chronic nature of Kashmir imbroglio while resetting the internal parameters of Jammu and Kashmir.
Although, the country has withstood the worst period of militancy in Kashmir, but, given the fraught situation that currently exists, an urgent political intervention was needed. There have been imperative: a) change in Pakistan’s strategy since China’s launch of the $62 billion CPEC project in April 2015, aimed at bolstering Pakistani economic growth; b) attempts made to indigenize the Kashmiri movement since 2016; c) shift of battle-hardened IS, Al-Qaida Jihadis from Syria to Afghanistan to destabilise Kashmir, Xinjiang and parts of Southern Russia.
The American peace deal with the Taliban was to be seen in the context. The US and Pakistan have rebooted its strategy by making new adjustment while keeping their eyes on India and China in their minds.
From India’s perspective, a popular uprising in Kashmir could not be controlled despite using hard force since 2016. Instead, it may have resulted in permanently losing the hearts and minds of people. The political narrative in Kashmir has changed after youths took over the reins of dissent. Things seemed to have worsened in the absence of any political process. New Delhi had no other political option than reengineering the State structure.
Only a perception change can now prevent further rise of anti-India sentiments. A careful appraisal of building an alternative is needed to prevent Kashmir from being alienated irrevocably.
While, J&K story will continue but granting Ladakh the UT status is certainly a masterstroke. It is a strategic move even might become a kernel for boundary solution with China. Now that J&K is gone, there is no need to remain hung-up on the territorial integrity of J&K the Aksai Chin issue should become flexible.
Clearly, the time had ripped to deal with the status quo and widespread shortcomings that are not without detrimental to national interests. Abrogation of 370 and withering away of J&K is a welcome move. It should integrate Ladakh fully with the rest of the country as an equal stakeholder in building the nation.
The situation around Ladakh has changed rapidly in the past 20 years; the people have their own aspirations. The people of Ladakh seem to rejoice their demand being fulfilled after seventy years of struggle. The new arrangement should help preserve Ladakh’s Himalayan identity which is more distinct by any yardstick compared to Jammu and Kashmir.
Clearly, Ladakh’s problems couldn’t have been addressed without the engagement and ideas, thoughts, actions and wisdom of the people themselves to be able to reflect their own regional distinctiveness and aspirations.
It should help remove the prolonged political neglect of Ladakh by putting the key issues on the forefront of national attention. The UT status should cater to the rising expectations of the people especially the younger generation to prevent them from falling adrift; to exploit the full political potentials and economic interests of Ladakh.
