The nation was overwhelmed with a range of emotions
when the announcement was made to remove Article 370 from the now ex-state of
Jammu & Kashmir (J&K). This decision converted J&K into a Union
Territory (UT) with a legislative assembly and Ladakh- now separated, was made
into a UT with no legislative assembly of its own.
The nation was divided, some outraged, some happy! At
last, the latter won! It felt as if the long-lost kids were reunited with their
mother. It is going to be awkward for both the families for some time but
eventually it is the best for both. J&K has been put back together with its
brother and sister, with all its glory!
The idea behind scraping article 370 was to establish peace,
development
and prosperity
in the terror-struck ex-state of J&K. For the past three decades, J&K
has been witnessing the horror of the terrorist activities and has been waiting
for too long to be freed from under these. No one except an average Kashmiri
would understand and value the significance of peace. Despite getting a 10x
more capital as compared to other states, the locals were not any way near to
development and growth. Handful of rulers had taken away all its glory.
This step will most certainly work in favour of our
Kashmiri brothers and sisters and the ex-state would soon step towards the road
to development and happiness. With new businesses flooding in, the revenue
would scale up for J&K and people would finally get to work. This will
raise the living standards, increase the cost of land, promote education for
the locals, increase tourism and enhance the safety and security of our
Kashmiris.
They say the more you interact with people outside
your well, the more experience you gather! This applies aptly to Kashmiri’s.
Once they step outside the beautiful well, they will experience life
differently.
However, this decision has seen all its Indian drama.
With people holding charchas over chai, businessmen planning their next stock
purchases, and ministers pointing fingers in the parliament. By revoking the
special status, J&K has now been freed.
There are people still standing against this verdict.
But those people will always be there, standing against the developments being
planned by our Government.
Change brings unease and tension, just like this one
did. But it also brings peace, development, and prosperity. Changing and
planning something this big, the country level, which holds importance
throughout the world as well, requires political-courage and strong planning.
There are many things to look forward to-whether this
decision would be accepted by all peacefully or would give rise to new tensions
and create rucus-nationally and internationally- only time will tell.
This bold yet planned move has fixed J&K back
together with India. A move with the motive of unifying the nation and
developing each part of the country.
Turacoz is extremely proud in our nation and hopes the
best for every citizen of this country. This Independence Day, let’s break free
from the shackles of religion, caste, ethnicity, race, gender, and region
and just breathe freely as the citizens of India.
We are Indians and we will rise high up in the sky, take the greatest
flight of all the times and will emerge victorious in every sphere.
For a nation that has spread its wings up to Mars and
Moon, religion, and region are negligible issues. Let’s not allow any
differences to creep up between us and let’s stand together to make us a
stronger power. India- united and strong. Jai
Hind!
