India has long waited for this. Just to remind the readers who don't know the whole story, The Hindus of the Kashmir Valley, were forced to flee the Kashmir valley as a result of being targeted by JKLF and Islamist insurgents during late 1989 and early 1990. Of the approximately 300,000 to 600,000 Hindus living in the Kashmir Valley in 1990 only 2,000–3,000 remain there in 2016. On 19 January 1990 mosques issued declaration that Kashmiri Pandits were Kafirs (Disbelievers) and that the males had to leave Kashmir, convert to islam or be killed. Those who chose to the first of these were told to leave their women behind. The kashmiri muslims were instructed to identify Pandits homes so they could be systematically targeted for conversion or killing. Kashmir was a peaceful state till 1990s. It was only after exodus of Kashmiri Pandits and insurgency of militants government had to send in troops. The abrogration of article 370 is not going to take away any rights.It will just make them equivalent to other Indians.
