Inside Kashmir’s Crisis globalvoices.org
On August 5, the government of India, led by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), revoked Article 370 of the Indian constitution that provided special autonomy status since 1950 to the disputed state of Jammu and Kashmir, in the northwest corner of the country.
Jammu, Kashmir, and Ladakh are now separate territorial units. Fearing unrest, the Indian authorities placed hundreds of political leaders and their aides under house arrest, as well as suspended access to mobile, landline, and internet networks. Roadblocks were put on the streets and restrictions on almost all movements are being strictly enforced.
