I think this topic can be of interest since it similar to the current Hong Kong situation and has a lot of potential for a massive uprising if they end the lock-down of most of the region.

For those not familiar with what has happened BBC has a good summary.
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-49234708
+ Show Spoiler [Extracted sections of the article] +
What's happened now?

In the first few days of August, there were signs of something afoot in Kashmir.

Tens of thousands of additional Indian troops were deployed, a major Hindu pilgrimage was cancelled, schools and colleges were shut, tourists were ordered to leave, telephone and internet services were suspended and regional political leaders were placed under house arrest.

But most of the speculation was that Article 35A of the Indian constitution, which gave some special privileges to the people of the state, would be scrapped.

The government then stunned everyone by saying it was revoking nearly all of Article 370, which 35A is part of and which has been the basis of Kashmir's complex relationship with India for some 70 years.

How significant is Article 370?

The article allowed the state a certain amount of autonomy - its own constitution, a separate flag and freedom to make laws. Foreign affairs, defence and communications remained the preserve of the central government.

As a result, Jammu and Kashmir could make its own rules relating to permanent residency, ownership of property and fundamental rights. It could also bar Indians from outside the state from purchasing property or settling there.


The government is also moving to break up the state into two smaller, federally administered territories. One region will combine Muslim-majority Kashmir and Hindu-majority Jammu. The other is Buddhist-majority Ladakh, which is culturally and historically close to Tibet.


This follow up piece discusses the sentiment in the area. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-india-49294301

It is important to note that the times tensions between India and Pakistan is at their most tense is usually when the Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party has been in majority rule positions. Since that is the current case there is a chance they will keep escalating the situation as well, making for an interesting situation to follow.

If somebody more knowledgable could give a better summary I would be thankful.

I personally find it noteworthy since it mirrors a lot of the trends we have seen from right wing hard-liners globally, from Russia, China to the USA (as a few examples). A centralisation of power and disregard for civil rights. Most of the time this seems successful though this case has the potential to spiral out of control since Pakistan is at the border and would like the region to be under their rule, thus likely helping any insurrection movements.

Think this is Modi simply trying to shore up political support. He has won reelection, even after an embarrassing confrontation with Pakistan that he orchestrated, now he just needs to gather all the jingoists and nationalists into his BJP party while Congress party dithers and in-fights. Even if the economy finally falls off a cliff due to his domestic reforms so be it.

The bigger question is will this spoil the honeymoon between China, which supports Pakistan to the hilt, and Russia which favors India.

Here we go again. Add to the fact they are nuclear powers, both religious zealots, putting the world on a knife edge is an understatement.

Pakistan's army has said at least three Pakistani and five Indian soldiers have been killed after a cross-border exchange of fire in the disputed region of Kashmir.

Major General Asif Ghafoor, the chief spokesman of the Pakistan armed forces, said in a Twitter post on Thursday that Indian forces had increased firing along the contested border, known as the Line of Control (LoC).

"Intermittent exchange of fire continues," Ghafoor tweeted.

Later on Thursday, Indian news agency ANI wrote on Twitter that India's army had denied the Pakistani's army statement that five Indian soldiers were killed in "ceasefire violations" along the heavily militarised LoC dividing Pakistan- and Indian-administered Kashmir.

Local police in Pakistan-administered Kashmir told Al Jazeera two civilians were also killed on Thursday.
