Muzamil Jaleel The local pro-India parties have come together on one main issue – August 5. They are claiming that they will fight New Delhi’s unilateral decision to take away the special status of the state and downgrade it into two directly ruled Union Territories. If that claim is true, then they will have to […]
Muzamil Jaleel There is a lot of talk about Ladakh (read Leh) managing to unify and exert pressure collectively on New Delhi to re-introduce the protections that were guaranteed under the repealed state subject law and thus save their land, demography etc. It is a fact that the Buddhist unity across all political divides did […]

It might sound astonishing to many, but history shows that arch rivals India and Pakistan have always come closer when the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP), a right-wing nationalist party, was ruling India.
