This step unleashed a history of forcible occupation of the state by India, accompanied by repression, violence and abuse of human rights, which has continued to this day. Not only have the people of Jammu and Kashmir paid a high price in terms of suffering and sacrifices but the entire region of South Asia has been held back in terms of development and progress owing to the tension and confrontation that resulted due to the occupation of Kashmir by India.

Editorial
* Saffronisation plan is threat to secular India
The one-nation ideal, which animated our national struggle, is still there in India. But, without spelling out the two-nation theory, some political combinations are foisting it on the country under a different terminology: The Hindus are one nation and the minorities another. The phenomenon is more visible in the fields of information and education. In the name of tradition and heritage, India's multi-cultural society is sought to be pawned to the demagogies of one culture. Political parties in India avowing secularism indulge in a kind of complacency. They argue that religious parties can never succeed in a country which is traditionally rooted in pluralism. They may be absolutely wrong. But this is their point of view.
