PR disaster early on is much better than PR disaster later on. People have short memory they'll forget everything by the next election.

Nah I don't think Modi wants to create a crisis in Kashmir that's going to suck up all his energy for the remainder of his tenure. He's too smart for that. This was some loose cannon mouthing off.

Attacking the move, PDP president Mehbooba Mufti said: "Experts believe article 370 is the bridge of Jammu and Kashmir's accession to the country and if you break it, you go back to pre-1947 position. You give people to re-negotiate. Are you ready?"  She sought the intervention of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to send out a signal that there is no such intention.  "It was okay till it was a poll cry, but what is happening now is dangerous. Do you want to go for one more partition?" she asked, while interacting with journalists in Srinagar.  The only debate than can happen is about strengthening article 370, she added.

Hey... go back to pre-1947...yeah rite... Let the pakis vacate their portion, let all the Pandits return to Kashmir, and all muslims from Ladakh go back to Kashmir...etc..etc...  What is this some kind of Catholic annulment ? If 370 is cancelled and made null & Void, not a shyt will happen...or can happen.

BTW, Jaitley and Modi are only trying to STRENGTHEN 370 - by "secularizing" it...

Kombletely agreed. This is a necessary step in right direction, continuation of previous NDA regime & Modi will definitely take it to the next level from the hobby of splitting states to countries.

They want to loosen the law to allow outsiders to buy land/house inside J & K. That should do it... no need to fool around with 370.

I know that already and have personal experience with it; it is still such a pain in the neck, not as easy as that article claims.

Article 370 was a Nehru's creation, while going out of his way, to appease the Kashmiris, like he insisted during the 1950s that Kashmir's chief minister should be called prime minister (as India's head of Govt. was called) and not chief minister (as the heads of Govt. in the rest of Indian states).
The second part of Nehru's appeasement scheme (using the P.M. tag for Kashmir's C.M.) is already thrown out and forgotten, it is time to do the same with the first too (get rid of Article 370).

A high schooler like Smriti Irani would have done a MUCH better job. Who gave the law degree to Nehru - Oh wait... it is one of those Bush-degree type from Inland.

What? Comrade feels anger? He is the calmest person around here since the results of the Indian election.

Could you please recommend a timeline for Mr. Modi to raise this and other issues like UCC, Muslim reservation, etc... ?
