Has the repeal of J-K’s special status been beneficial for Jammu region?

The Central government has done little substantive in terms of job creation or employment for Jammu's younger population, except from making verbal promises

While Kashmiris mostly rejected the crucial decision made on August 5, 2019, there was a wave of delight in Jammu as residents in the region perceived it as a step to remove Kashmiri leadership's political supremacy.

The new set of land laws, on the other hand, dealt a blow to the people of Jammu's contentment. The people of Jammu are now doubtful about whether the changes relating to Article 370 have benefitted them or not since they lack a statute to protect their interests on property and job security.

People skeptical about usefulness of domicile certificates

People are skeptical about the usefulness of the "domicile certificates", which replaced the previous Maharaja-issued Permanent Resident Certificates (PRCs). Non-residents can now acquire non-agricultural land, due to the new land regulations enacted by the Central government.

Apart from offering verbal guarantees, the Central government has done nothing meaningful in terms of job creation or employment for the younger population of Jammu.

Many firms shut with fears of reverse migration

Jammu residents are concerned that the city would eventually become a dumping site, putting local residents under strain. If no precautions are implemented, reverse migration will occur, with individuals from outside the UT dominating the territory.

Many firms in the region have already shut down because these couldn't compete with goods imported from other areas of the country, which have gotten cheaper since the import toll tax was withdrawn.

The government's approach to addressing domicile legislation and additional problems has exacerbated local issues. It appears to be of little consequence now that the new land restrictions have been implemented, which only made the domicile certificates almost worthless.

Lathi Charge: A legalised method of police brutality

"Every blow on our bodies this afternoon is like a nail driven into the coffin of British imperialism." These were the precise words of Sher-e-Punjab Lala Lajpat Rai when he got brutally " lathi-charged " by the law enforcers of Colonial India while he was protesting against the Simon Commission in October 1928.  Punjab Kesari Lajpat Rai eventually succumbed to his injuries, and his death gave off the spark for vengeance in the heart of numerous Indian revolutionaries. In December 1928, Shahid-e-Azam Bhagat Singh and his compatriot Shivam Rajguru assassinated the Lahore Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) John Saunders to avenge the murder of their mentor. "Lathi-Charge" has remained one of the most brutal and sensitive issues for Indians since the bygone days of the Indian National Movement. Thus, even after 75 years of liberation, India and her children continue to writhe under pain brought on by police brutality and paranoia. Both the Indian Penal...

" India is an over populous country. " This statement is hardly news to anyone, but very few of us know that the average age of an Indian is just 29 years old. Hence, India is a fairly young country with a strong demographic dividend. However, the ambitions and dreams of millions of Indians lie stranded despite their ability and competence. Each new year brings fresh new hopes for millions of aspirants. These young people have expressed their strong will by deciding to dedicate the prime of their youth to preparing for numerous government examinations. In a country where social class divisions continue to be a notable phenomenon in determining one's future, Government jobs and recruitments offer the only genuine means for attaining an egalitarian society. Today, even this little scope for upliftment gets marred under the evils of Paper leaks and Recruitment scams. The problem of the youth, in essence, is the problem of the nation, and it is high time we illustrated the gr...
