J&K’s transition calls for a break from past political strategies, closer integration of people
The political space in Kashmir is now being contested by new entrants. Presently, the political base of NC and PDP is under pressure, due to various reasons.
Jammu and Kashmir is passing through a major disruptive transition. The waves of change are being felt by those who were in power, and hence their unease is understandable. A major factor in Kashmir is the security situation, considering Pakistan’s unabated support to anti-national elements. While in Srinagar, as the Chinar Corps Commander, I saw that the political class was falling short in countering the alienation, containing the growing radicalisation, and was not adequately addressing youth anger and consequent street violence.
