Rediff is manupulating people's opinion by stating false facts. An appendix can never hijack the main body of an article. The judges have interpreted that incorrectly and allowed article 26A to over rule 370. This is unconstitutional. Also, you can't buy land in himachal and Sikkim but you can still buy property like flats that are no located on ground floor. This is done to protect local interests of villagers living in hills who have less money to buy land. You can't buy any kind of property in Kashmir. The author does not states that purposely
They say "There are many places in India, like the tribal areas of Telangana, Himachal Pradesh, Nagaland and Sikkim, where such a law exists". How many of these have subsidies for every house? In how many of these there is infiltration? In how many of these states there is daily stone throwing and bund-s? Compare these things as well
World has changed a lot since 1952..... So has many countries...... Berlin wall has fallen... USSR is broken.... China and India have become economic leaders... But we want Article 370 and 35A to contin ue for ever....?
The objection is very valid. A non-State subject cannot buy land in HP, Uttarakhand, North-Eastern states so why talk about J&K only? But saying that J&K should be spared because these States have such laws is also not correct. Such laws are a hindrance in national integration and must go. They were enacted by the British to prevent a mixing of the diverse Indian society and consequently a threat to the British Govt. But since have our own Govt. now why these laws should still remain?
In the article at many places it is mentioned as India and J&K. J&K is a part and parcel of India. Hence, there is no point of mentioning as separate entities. If they are separate why India should doll out thousand of lakhs of rupee to J&K in the name of development. There is no development. The State is receiving this huge money which is a contribution of the whole country. If the whole India has no stake in J&K why should it give to them and this money as well can be used in the country except where there is no excess to people of the nation. This money thus given is being used by J&K to support themselves and fight against India (when the Military works there to protect the J&K from the threat of terrorists, the civilians come out to prevent their operation; and also throw stones at the military). The so called opposition parties of the ruling party, raise voice not as a united India. This disunity is being taken advantage by the Pakistanis and send the terrorists to destabilise peace in J&K; which indirectly takes the peace of India. In view of this there should not be any special status to them and the entire nation including J&K is one and every one should freely go and live there peacefully. When people of J&K can visit the entire India, get jobs, settle anywhere they like, why there should not be any reciprocity. A rule once made about decades ago,need to be changed to suit the changes taking place in the country. Jai

Before wrting headlines, can you publish as to WHO is REAL landowners in Kashmir. At the time of accession in Indian Union the heterogenous of Population itself shows systematic plan of parting Britishers to sow the seeds of seperation for their future & long term political benefits and our own Ruling Political Party of those days have silently agreed for it-- for what ??? Will it be unfair to go down the history as to when & how this demography was so systematically MODIFIED & under whose command ??
People are living peacefully in Sikkim and Himachal, what is problem with Kashmiris, why they cannot, because they are muslims and want to be with PAK or separate country. They do not honour 130 crore rest of Indians. Urgent need is to take correction in Kashmir.

True...If only Kashmiris do not foment trouble after getting all the facilities from India, Indians wont talk of 370 and 35A...
Scrapping article 35A and 370 is definitely a boon to the common man of J&K. They should understand that these Zamindars are really not helping their cause by retaining these articles.
To retain their hold they will say all nonsensical things.They shall not be allowed to buy any property in any other part of the country. Properties owned by Syed Shah Ali Geelani, Mirwaiz, Farooq and Omar Abdullah, Mehbooba Mufti and their likes should be seized by the state.Then, they will come to know their illogical argument.
