The date is 29 October. Nearly three months since the Indian government abrogated Article 370 of the constitution and stripped Jammu and Kashmir of its special rights.

The first high-level foreign delegation, comprising 23 European Union MPs, is on a two-day visit to Kashmir to..."see the situation on the ground."  

The team originally comprised 27 parliamentarians, mostly from far-right or ultra-right wing parties, but four reportedly returned to their respective countries.

This comes in the backdrop of India's Opposition leaders being denied entry into Kashmir, or stopped from proceeding at Srinagar airport.

Even a senator of the United States was allegedly denied permission to visit Kashmir a couple of weeks ago.

So, how has the EU delegation been allowed to visit Kashmir? What is expected to come out of this? 

Who are these delegates and why is it important to know who they are?
