How has Kashmir changed after Article 370 that gave J&K special status was abrogated more than four years ago and the state downgraded into two union territories?
During his first visit to the Valley after the government’s landmark decision in 2019, StratNews Global Editor-in-Chief Nitin A. Gokhale came back enriched.
The security deployment isn’t as stifling as it used to be before, residents find it a lot easier to go about their daily lives, tourist footfalls have increased dramatically and businesses are buzzing.
Houseboats are full, the shikarawallahs are not complaining either. But there is certainly an underlying feeling of unease that separatist tendencies are lurking somewhere below the surface and that security forces cannot become complacent lest old tendencies make a comeback.

Great 👍🏻
A brilliant, balanced, objective and incisive assessment by Nitin Gokhle about the prevailing situation in J&K ,post abrogation of Article 370. His fearless feedback about a small section of Kashmiris waiting to revive terrorism is truly praiseworthy. Keep it up, Nitin. Very proud of having journalists like you in our country. 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
"Shock waves across the world?" I don't think so. They pretended to be shocked. Indians need to realize that the rest of the world doesn't really care about India unless it affects them negatively in some way. Pakistan is of course in a permanent state of belligerence, and there Indians have to treat it as an overgrown backyard full of weeds and thorns which have to be cut down periodically. If the rest of the world objects to the yard maintenance, they should be told to take a hike.
Thank you for making this video. I had been there in 2018. Things were not normal. I felt pity for the internal security forces. I met one of the CRPF personnel , who was from Karnataka. They had to bear a lot of humiliation. All sort of dirty activities around their picket. Filthy language of the same people who welcomed tourists.
The Government has done its best to change the situation.
Please do a video on Ladakh. Why is there agitation ? People must understand the situation we face at present. China is every where.
Good night 😴
Dmk manifesto to restore article 370
A great fortune in the hands of a fool is a great misfortune
Thanks!
Very shallow journalism.
Private investment should be encouraged, better employment opportunities will reduce extremism
When 370 was abrogated, Col. Lawrence Sellin, PhD., Writer & a Veteran of Afghanistan & Iraq wars rightly observed: “Article 370 was most useful to Pakistan: It helped Pakistan spread poisonous militancy and misery in Kashmir. Pakistan used ‘special status’ of Kashmir to claim J&K was ‘disputed territory’. With one stroke, India has ended that claim. Pakistan now faces ruin itself. It has nothing to offer Kashmir."
Stephen Cohen had also warned that after Soviet withdrawal from Afghanistan, ISI has transferred Punjabi Mujahideen from Afghanistan to Kashmir, united 14 terrorist organization under United Jihad Council for Kashmir Jihad while infiltrating its army men into Pashtun groups to make Afghanistan.5th province of Pakistan.
Having secretly acquired nukes with Chinese help in mid-1980s, having defeated super power USSR through Jihadis, enlargement of territories was needed to flaunt nuclear status.
It was surprising that while foreigners were aware of true picture, India's Congress empire could not fathom the correct problem for over 70yrs & allowed this wonderful state to bleed for several decades..
The separatist, India-hating, Hindu-hating section of Kashmiri society is never going to go away, and even if they are 10% of the public, a determined 10% is capable of creating enormous damage. they are going to be a permanent thorn in the side. India needs to keep military control and keep mowing the grass just as the Israelis need to do with the Palestinians. Let the intelligentsia and the western media howl as much as they want to.
An excellent show informative. Give the younger generation employment and keep them mentally busy.
Very true observations.
I was in j&k on the same dates
1. Not a single Indian flag anywhere in J&K except in govt building
2. Not a single hindu anywhere except around anant nag temple
3. General kashmiri is highly anti indian just biding their time looking for an opening
4. Till the time pakistan remains weak and poor the seperatist activity will be down
5. All temples in srinagar under lock and fencing completely empty as no hindu is there to take care
6. The game changer is the choke on the terror financing which has been brought by the govt .
7.stayed in a hotel next to the old hurriyat office building which has been closed down since last year
Impression
Kashmiri old or young are absolutely aleniated from Indian Cause . They are quiet and following the law as their other sources of income have been stopped due to financial choke by the govt and lack of support from pakistan .
Young people have no recollection of a multi religious society as they have never seen or interacted with kashmiri hindus ever . For them hindus are only two indian army and cheap labour from hindi heartland . They have a strong believe that kashmir is for muslims and jammu is for hindus .
Literally just saw the 370 movie. Noe hearing your comments from people "hamara time ayega", my view is – this M people can never be trusted anywhere in the world.
Sleeper cells could be lurking and guard cannot be lowered by security forces. Kashmir must have other religious groups and balanced demography to reflect actual Bharat.
unbiased observation very good otherwise its either left or right.thanks
idiotic report. Every idiot ha s a platform to speak these dsays. useless reporting
Good one Sir.

Traffic is now the biggest problem that JKP has to deal with, got stuck for nearly 3 hours in Srinagar. Great to see that tourists only get fleeced by the vendors as opposed to the condition before
Excellent presentation! 👍👍
On the matter of those who are "waiting for the right moment to restart" (the "Tehreek" i.e Resistance in whatever form) — the places to get a sense of this is in Masjids esp during Friday sermons -particularly in the rural areas and Srinagar downtown.
Also in schools and colleges and Madarsas if any.
These 👆are the hatcheries and nurseries for fomenting trouble!!
Pakistan and its agents have NOT "given up" and NEVER will… 🙏🙏
Shikhara rides are around ₹800, you paid double Lol
