Explain the internal divisions of the State of Jammu and Kashmir and describe how these lead to multiple regional aspirations in that state. |
|
Answer» Jammu and Kashmir comprised of three regions : • Kashmir region is Kashmir valley consisting Kashmir speaking and mostly Muslim with a Kashmir speaking Hindu minority. • Jammu region consists of Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs and speakers of various languages, in the areas of foothills and plains. • Ladakh region is equally divided between Buddhists and Muslims and maintains a little population area. These internal divisions led to multiple regional aspirations : • One strand of separatist to demand a separate Kashmiri nation independent of India and Pakistan. • Some other groups want Kashmir to be merged with Pakistan. • Third strand wants a greater autonomy for people of state within Indian Union. • The demand for intra-state autonomy is as strong as the demand for the state autonomy. In present scenario, most of the separatist in dialogue are trying to re-negotiate a relationship of state with India. |
