<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Article 370 was enshrined to protect the Kashmiiryat which was the unique way of life for the Kashmiris. It was to assure them they wont be swamped by Indians from other states and they could continue their culture. However with the radicalization and fundmentalizatin of Kahsmiri Muslims it is being used to create Dar-ul-Islam inside India. That is the core problem. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
And what about the unique way of life of Tamils or Telugus?
Or how about Mumbai which has basically become a Hindi speaking city, so if Marathas ask for article 370 or something along similar lines, should it be enacted?
It was plain old Muslim appeasement that made them do it, and if this "Kashmiriyat" was so strong then why did riots against Pandits take place even before partition in the valley?
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Art 370 was good when it was enacted. Now its not good. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
It was never good to begin with and laid the groundwork for what we see today, when Nehru was ranting day in and day out about India being secular and the biggest danger being Hindu "fanatics" declaring that it was a Hindu nation, why the explicit double standards for Kashmir only because of its Muslim majority demographic.
It was a mistake to begin with and should be rectified as soon as possible with a few million settlers brought in from UP and Bihar into the Valley and also opening the gates for the scum who want to go to Pakistan.
