China, Pakistan slam India's move to change Kashmir's special status - Reuters
Reuters reports: "In a move to tighten its grip on Jammu and Kashmir, parts of which are
claimed by Pakistan and China, India dropped a constitutional provision
that allowed the country’s only Muslim-majority state to make its own
laws.
The changes imposed by Modi’s Hindu nationalist-led government are the
most sweeping in the nearly 30 years that India has been battling a
revolt in Kashmir. The government also broke up the state into two
federally administered territories."
Comment: This is one of the most significant developments in quite some time. Kashmir is a flashpoint for conflict between nuclear powers and that kind of thing should always be on our radar.
