I feel bad about abrogating A370 but at the end of the day, the existing status quo had gone on for too long. The upshot is that for the first time in my life, I was interviewing engineering students from the Kashmir valley for internships. This made me think that at some level, mainstream Kashmiri youth are willing to give the rest of india a chance.

you are mixing up 2 things at once. i have studied in "delhi" back in 2013-15. same with thousands of kashmiri kids outside the valley, in mainland india and abroad. that never changed even in 1990's, let alone after 2019. education was never stopped to a point "you as a kashmiri kid shouldnt go to delhi to study". if anyone says that then they are lying. i am talking about voting in the valley and about this new "election tourism" that the ruling BJP is bringing. since no one was going to vote for them, they are bringing in their own sham voters. >This made me think that at some level, mainstream Kashmiri youth are willing to give the rest of india a chance. kashmiri kids have been to delhi and karachi at the same time, there is no difference for both. >I feel bad about abrogating A370 but at the end of the day, the existing status quo had gone on for too long. i am not for lamenting the past and all but cooking up false premises over which to justify an illegal act, against international law is not something i would get over. why should i ? "what is done is done" is said by the victor, tomorrow china takes over ladakh and BJP turns to the country on national tv and says "it was inevitable, we couldnt do anything, oh well". i mean they have done that but doesnt make that right? or does it?
