Article 370 Scrapped but not the ‘Islamisation’ of Kashmir issue: Indians need to revive Kashmirityat
Now that the Article 370 has been abrogated, the Islamisation of the Kashmir issue will turn grimmer. More and more Islamo-supremacist, pan-Islamist political organisations and the self-styled social and welfare movements will join the ranks of JIJ&K. However, the chief lesson that Muslims in India particularly need to learn from all this is that they must not heed the ‘Islamisation’ of the conflict zones in the world, including in Kashmir.

Decoding the current phase of militancy in Kashmir
