government has withdrawn and has up ended a 70 year old policy that gave me a special place in the indian union it is now not just like any other state it is in fact a union territory in which new delhi will exercise much greater control and direct control than ever before the. autonomy and the special status was a cornerstone of the accession of jumbo and kashmir $947.00 and with this new decision what would be the general sentiment in me or do they see this as the beginning of an uncharted territory. it's both on target and quite expected because the even within the constitutional guarantees in the constitution they haven't ordered a would again since 47 what has happened today is unimaginable consequences because see what meanies are often seen as treatment of me as a colony you know and today is probably the starkest starkest sort of you know display of that relationship that we will decide your future will not ask you not only want to ask you will keep you locked in your houses with block your phones including learned lines and internet and block assembly while they decide your future in d

middle ground that was arguing for continuing the relationship with india and remaining part of the indian union what the indian government has now done is to completely lock all those people up. and so a lot of kashmiri people totold us thatat, look, those wo were singing praises of india are the ones that india has locked up today. so that's a message to us that we should not, you know, place faith in the indian political process and democratic process anymore. amy: i want to ask you about indian prime minister modi saying kashmir's previous status was unjust for kashmiri women because they lost their inheritance rights if manning a person outside the region. your response to modi implying he was doing this for the women of kashmir? >> the kashmiri women have the best response to this. they said, look, we are fighting patriarchy but so are you. women are fighting country are key all over the world but who are our oppressors to be claiming to liberate us? and it is especially galling to hear these words from modi went his party, men, are actually saying things like, oh, now that our indian men

and the indian union and doing away with it now opens the doors for open palestine type independence struggle within kashmir so there will be many interest groups in india as well which will be mounting legal challenges and the political. opposition which has many of the fierce lawyers amongst them will also be mounting legal challenges as well though it can be expected that these will be heard by a constitution bench of the indian supreme court but everybody will be waiting to see which way that ruling goes well from one developing story to another one let's just show latest live pictures coming to us out of hong kong there a citywide general strike is now well under way in just the past hour the police have been using tear gas to disperse crowds that were blocking traffic earlier train services were disrupted and at least $100.00 flights into and out of hong kong being canceled protesters are angry over how the government and the police of handled weeks of protests triggered by a controversial extradition bill many want the territory to carry lam to resign but she's accusing the pr

and the third is contentious where the status of the area which had full statehood under the indian uniont that means is they are now effectively going to be mainly administered by the central government. so this seems to be mostly a domestic move on the part of the renter modi but we should talk about pakistan, what do you expect in terms of reaction from pakistan? we had reaction earlier today from pakistan prime minister imran khan made a statement, quite a lengthy statement to be precise where he talked about this as a challenge and that pakistan would be focused on this but more concerning the he talked about the fact that he predicted more such terror attacks such as had taken place earlier in the year. referring to the terrorist attack back in february. so i worry about that, was that a threat, did he say this purely analytically, this type of statement coming from the head of government i think is quite concerning. thank you very much forjoining us. this is beyond one hundred days. still to come. we look back at the life of novelist toni morrison, the first black woman to wina ton

it down laided the state which includes indian controlled kashmir to a union territory. means it will effectively be run by new delhi. indian states have much more power to direct their internal affairs. all this happened against the backdrop of a security crackdown that saw politicians arrested. phone lines and internet were cut. people were told not to congregate in large groups as authorities feared protests against monday's changes. some of those security restrictions have now been lifted. the reason authorities told us was to allow people to conduct friday prayers at mosques around the muslim majority region. but things are still tense. life is nowhere near back to normal. pakistan controls a portion of the kashmir region and claims all of it has been very critical of delhi's moves. its army as promised to oppose the changes. we're watching to see if there is a backlash. the biggest risk as always in this volatile region is that this spirals into something much bigger, a dangerous showdown between india and pakistan. remember, both have nuclear weapons, and both hav

imposed a curfew with the region over the weekend the indian parliament has approved legislation to divide the state of jammu and kashmir into 2 union territories. earlier i spoke to our correspondent in delhi and i asked her what the indian government was hoping to achieve by does reorganization bill and how have people reacted to it rank and file off the ruling b.g.p. party in the many supporters of prime minister marines aboard the across the country have really and to see acidly welcomed this move just put me off it's autonomy you know they've been spontaneous street celebrations in some parts of the country and we have to remember that and repeated election manifestos the b.g.p. the ruling hindu nationalist party has really played to scrap bush meets special status you know they've long this is a party that has really long argued that guaranteeing special status this article $370.00 which guarantees special status of kashmir has long been the biggest obstacle to integrating this region with the rest of india this say that this move now will you know slow much needed investment growth and development of the country but critics o

it revokes this article and turned kashmir into indian territory, which means that unlike any other state in the unionent which will determine how the land can be used in kashmir. the kashmiri people would have no say in determining how the land should be used for what purposes. so for most kashmiris, this is kind of the sum of the fears they have been trying to express four years, that the indian right—wing, the indian right—wing is trying to change the demography of the state. if india is able to the facts on the ground over the coming years, one can only imagine that the status of kashmir as an international dispute and as an unresolved dispute, well perhaps not matter any more and it will ultimately, kashmiris will be as they are now, but even more because they are now, but even more because the claims for the termination will be irreparably harmed. it sounds like we will talk about this again. thank you very much indeed. my pleasure. for some, it has become part of a modern life. virtual reality is a way to enjoy different experiences through the use of a special headset. in the state of florida,

writes for local kashmir is and i think the fear is that what this indian government wants to do is formally incorporate cashmere into the union in india and obviously if you revoke its autonomous status then that's essentially legally how you're able to move into that position but given that so many kashmiris do not want to have any connection to say resent the indian presence in kashmir and the. incredibly brutal things india has done they are really very worried about that prospect of losing that autonomous status and miss a critical men given how many in the kashmir valley feel about this. about and as you said. how will they react the government is trying to make these constitutional changes the indian government is going to have a great fight on its hands here. yes indeed i mean if in your work to go ahead and make that decision i imagine you would have a you would have a 10 set of protests which could turn violent in kashmir which strengthens the argument that the main reason why india is doing all these things and right now is trying to write a head off the possibility of unrest and resistance to such a move and i thin
