On PM’s Vision For ‘Naya Kashmir’: Ending Pakistan’s Proxy War

Context: 

This editorial is based on the news “On PM’s vision for ‘Naya Kashmir’: Ending Pakistan’s proxy war which was published in the Indian Express. In his first visit since abrogation of Article 370, the Prime Minister of India has charted a course for future. 

Relevancy for Prelims: Indian Constitution, Militancy In Jammu And Kashmir,  and Supreme Court Upheld Abrogation Of Article 370.

Situations in Naya Kashmir

  • Change in the mindset of people: 
    • In 1989, Pakistan launched a plan to destabilise Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) with external support. The limited security measures allowed frequent movement across the Line of Control (LoC) and  declaring of Jammu and Kashmir as part of Pakistan.
    • The popular slogan during this period was “Kashmir banega Pakistan.”
    • After the abrogation of Article 370, sentiments shifted in India, and the slogan became “PoJK banega Hindustan.”
    • Despite the change, a duality in the Kashmiri mindset persists and will take time to fully neutralise.
  • WHAM Policy: The Indian Government has adopted a multi pronged strategy departing from the military based actions.
    • The emphasis is now on “winning hearts and minds” (WHAM) with visible development programmes as well as youth and women empowerment.
  • Reduced  Military presence: has allowed for more normalised civilian administration.
    • The socio-economic outreach of the Indian Government  through deliverable development projects has managed to create far greater hope than ever before.
    • All this has facilitated an “all of government “ approach.
  • Economic development as counterbalance: The direct rule from Delhi through a Lieutenant Governor  has been a force multiplier.
  • Army Outreach: The Army’s experience of outreach has been well exploited through a more integrated approach.

Concerns

  • Pakistan: remains committed to forces of separatism in J&K through acts of sponsored terror whenever possible, in a bid to remain relevant even in the face of a transforming region.
  • Ideological extremism continues to remain embedded: A study of the proliferation of international conflicts and their nature reveals that an ideologically driven second cycle of global terrorism could well be triggered. J&K falls within the ambit of such a cycle. 

Conclusion

  • State elections: The Government should use the peaceful situation of J&K and conduct elections.
  • Statehood:  should be restored and a timeline should be given by the Government.

Mains Question: To what extent is Article 370 of Indian Constitution, bearing marginal note “temporary provision with respect to the State of Jammu and Kashmir”, temporary? Discuss the future prospects of this provision in the context of Indian polity.
