The Political Impacts of India on Jammu & Kashmir: (2020)

  • Liaquat Ali Chandio, Zaheer Hussain Soomro

Abstract

“The already turbulent bilateral relationship between India and Pakistan is deteriorating rapidly in response to India’s decision to revoke the special status of the Kashmir region. A presidential order issued by India on 05th August  abolished Articles 370 and 35A of the Indian constitution and was shortly followed by the passage of the Jammu & Kashmir Reorganization Bill by the LokSabha (lower house of Parliament). Indian military troops quickly moved into the region, cellular networks were restricted, and high-level government officials were placed under house arrest. In response, Pakistan has called on the international community, namely China and the United States, to act, while India maintains that this is a matter of internal policy. The paper highlights possible aftershocks of this decision made by BJP government in India would possibly result into creating regional complexity leading both nuclear powers into limited war”.
