General public opinion gleaned from my 20 days in Srinagar:
1) After a month of angst, reconciled to the new normal of Kashmir without Article 370. Now hope for genuine development and sincerity.
1) After a month of angst, reconciled to the new normal of Kashmir without Article 370. Now hope for genuine development and sincerity.
2) No violence after August 5 means the ones arrested were primarily responsible for violence all these years. Lock them up and throw away the keys, nobody cares.
3) No violence after August 5 means government can maintain law and order, if it really has the will. This is an indictment of past governments who benefited from the conflict.
4) & #39;Mainstream& #39; politicians like the Abdullahs and Muftis, and separatist leaders like Geelani, Yasin Malik, etc. are irrelevant now. Can& #39;t repose trust in those who brought us to this point.
5) Peace looking tentative due to escalation of terror attacks. Used to going about their lives against a backdrop of terror. Another round of violence expected due to checkered history, but hoped against.
6) Internet connectivity is much required by one and all, students to businesses. Won& #39;t mind if social media sites are blocked, but regular browsing allowed.
7) No idea whatsoever of Pakistan& #39;s Red Dot
