Jammu and Kashmir: One Year after 5 August; An Uneasy Peace

Situation assessment as on 10 August, 2020

Last year, in August, parliament stripped Jammu and Kashmir’s autonomy and special status. It was divested of statehood and downgraded into two Union Territories - Ladakh and Jammu and Kashmir.  One year later, the government argues that the reduction of violence and terror incidents is a sign that the people have come to accept what happened on August 5 last year. Others insist that people remain sullen, angry and humiliated.  The study examines contrary views to enable a proper assessment of the situation.
