Some events shape our collective histories more profoundly than others. The amendment of Article 370 and the integration of Jammu & Kashmir into India is one such event. The Indian left is split on the issue: millennials share red boxes on social media to protest the government's decision, while a surprising majority of leftist politicians support the move. On the other hand, the conservatives in India are either in full support or refuse to comment on the issue. Meanwhile, leaders of regional Kashmiri parties have been arrested, a curfew has been levied on the entire state, and speculations abound in the rest of the country. Naturally, this is an interesting time to be an Indian.
So, I did what Indians do best: speculate and predict. I am joined in this conversation by my friends Prakhar Gupta (host of PGRadio), Prakhar Narang (Marketer at DineOut), Aaks Sharma (Content Creator at Travel Triangle), and Bharat Mago (trainee at General Electric).
Mind you, we are not experts and this is not a curated conversation.
This is simply a broadcast of five Indians discussing India and Kashmir from the comfort of an office.
We do not know the TRUE reality of being a Kashmiri and don't endorse any political party.
That being said, enjoy the podcast.
