well you know you have to go back to the hindu nationalist ideology of the ruling party in india. a party for then here which is india's only muslim majority state has always held special significance and i think that is given to this sort of this notion that you can approach these complex historical issues. musculo way now i'm not you know none of us is in a position today just happened today to know and to know exactly how this will pan out but i think that the more serious thinkers about this issue would you know would point to the fact that this is just as likely to alienate kashmiris to fan the flames of militancy to internationalize the issue in a way that actually is not in india's interest than it is to sort of you know act as some kind of magic bullet which will magically integrate kashmir muslims into the national mainstream. as we understand it what happened today is the constitution was changed with 370 being abolished without a vote and also without consultation of the people and so if you look at it in its totality was was this legal was it constitutional. well there
