Pakistan historically pounds the Arnia sector (mainly Hindu populated) close to festival season. Its been done in the past. Its much easier to shift boundaries and/or infiltrate if a loyal civilian population isn't around.

Unfortunately India doesn't reciprocate during Eid (for secular reasons one assumes).

We should now keep targeting their infrastructure Barracks, trucks, Electricity transformers, Bridges, Cell phone towers etc. Killing PA soldiers and causing expensive damage is the best way to deter future such actions.

But as long as Pakistan exists it will create problems.

Along with that, Aditya ji, also ignore the pakis geopolitically. Stop all sporting ties with them. Block paki commentators from operating out of Indian venues during other matches.

Stop non essential and medical visas immediately

restrict the numbers of religious visas to prevent infiltration via this route

Fence all the borders without leaving any gaps

Continue to isolate and target the pakis in all forums.

It is the pattern that the Pakistani Army (jehadis in uniform) shells the IB/LOC to provide cover to infiltrating terrorrists (jehadis not in uniform). I assume that is the case here also.

Modi govt’s massive action against POJK terrorists after 370.

Prior to 370, All the freebies given to J&K went into the pockets of leaders who sponsored terrorism. 10,000s of crores were given away by Indian Govt. Many of the relatives of these terror leaders were given govt jobs. Lots of Pukie fake money were circulating and this was stopped after Demonetization. After 370, the Govt have been systematically has been identifying all the terror network and their money is slowly stripped away. The recent move is confiscating their houses (worth more than 2 crore) and land from 3000+ such people. Some politicians in other parts of India have cross ownership (e.g. TN's DMK has its fangs in J&K and the J&K leaders own car dealerships in TN, of course the Kangress chors too).

BTW in Srinagar there are smart meters for electricity. No one was paying for electricity. Now they have to pay up front and draw down the power they paid for. Apparently there are protests now.

5 Lashkar terrorists among 6 ultras killed in 2 encounters in J-K
Hemant Waje, November 17, 2023

Six terrorists were killed in two separate encounters with security forces in Jammu and Kashmir on Friday, officials said.
While five Lashkar-e-Tayiba terrorists were killed following an overnight encounter with the security forces in Kulgam district in the valley, one ultra was neutralised in Rajouri, they added.
"The bodies of the slain terrorists have been retrieved and the area is being sanitised," inspector general of police, Kashmir Zone, VK Birdi told PTI after the 18-hour gunbattle in Kulgam district came to an end.
Birdi said the bodies of the slain terrorists were located with the help of drone footage.
The security forces had launched a cordon-and-search operation in Nehama village of Kulgam following information about the presence of terrorists in the area on Thursday, officials said.
The search operation turned into a gunbattle as the terrorists opened fire on the security personnel, they added.

With local area dominance how come we are losing our highly trained soldiers. Does it mean that these terrorists have a higher level of training and equipment than our armed forces. It speaks to poor tactics and strategies being used.

While we lost 4 most highly trained best equipped soldiers potentially PARA SF to few ragtag terrorists (from a financially failed nation) does not inspire confidence in training, tactics used. Why are we not using drones / thermal imagers to better effect? Major rethink required I feel.

My own armchair intuition is that the terrorists are using many well camoflaged small remote cameras across a large area to gain better situational awarenes and setup kill zones for our soldiers using camouflaged snipers, booby traps etc.

Kashmir - the land of Rishis: A Journey through time by Brigadier A. P. Singh

Kashmir derives its name from Rishi Kashyapa. Kashmir is the seat of Kashmir Shaivism and Shakti worship. Rajatarangini chronicles the history from Mahabharata upto 12 th century CE. The region is famous for Rishis like Bharata Muni, Utpaladeva and Panini.

The ancient Mamaleshwara temple at Pahalgam dates back to 400 CE. In 72 CE, Kanishka organized the 4th Buddhist council near Srinagar. First Buddhist scholar Kumarajiva went to China in 401 CE and spread the influence of Sanskrit.

Sharada Peeth is well known, a holy place and a place of learning. Gulmarg (originally known as Gauri Marg) has a famous shiva temple.

Nilamata Purana is ancient treatise on Kashmir, records the diaglogue between Rishi Vaishampayan and King Janamejaya.

The first ruler of Kashmir was in 3450 BC and hindu/buddhist kings ruled for 4770 years before the onslaught of Islamic rule.

Brigadier A. P. Singh asserts that Adi Shankara was in 509 BC not 788 CE. 1300 yrs error which is a monumental blunder by western historians!

Tandav Saar,
the local area domination is generally referred to grid blocks that the Kashmir was split into operationally to weed out the insurgents present in the valley. It is more in the urban setting/ places where people live.
The current action is taking place in the forest of Rajouri and if we go by past discussions in the military thread we have quite dense forests where the foliage helps mask the movement of terrorists. There are many caves where it is suspected that ammo dumps are being stored and used by the terrorists.
there was some thinning of the forces here during the galwan crisis where a portion of troops were moved to the chinese border. All in all the combination of terrain, thinning out of troops and also Pakis coming out of the FATF list for ukraine arms support with more funding is causing these issues.
the Indian army will also evolve tactics based on the feedback mechanism. lets wait for more details.

Some more light being shed by Colonel Ajay Raina on Indian army Ops in Rajouri-Poonch sector. Col Raina gives a clear narrative & practical suggestions. The whole focus of militants has shifted to Jammu province especially Rajouri and Poonch sectors. The central govt wants to make Naya kashmir and the focus has shifted to Srinagar.

Colonel (retd) Ajay K Raina is a decorated soldier, a record holder rider, a published author and a successful entrepreneur in the tourism industry. He was awarded the fourth highest peace time award for bravery for his gallant military action in 2005.

The Reality of the Kashmir Dispute has been hidden from us. Know the real story of deceit and hidden facts. Did the dispute start the way we think? Col Ajay K Raina recounts the Real History of Kashmir and the sneakiness of Kashmir 1947 Raiders. Listening to Col Raina a lot of things fall into logical events and provide clarity, many answers to unanswered questions in those incidents.

The Britshits during partition pulled a fast one on India. All the generals and their deputies were Brits on both sides. The MoFo Britshits continued their reign of terror by unleashing chaos and inciting the Pakis to attack India in the J&K area, i.e., more deaths of innocents - a continuation of the largest holocaust in the world. Much of the planning occurred prior to the independence day of Aug 15, 1947. As usual the Britshits lied about the whole thing and made it into tussle between Pak and India. There is a duplicitous dude major william brown who later remarked, "my actions appeared to possess all the elements of high treason".

Mountbatten was an equally highly duplicitous character. He pulled many strings that caused the Kashmir crisis. The Indian army could have easily put down the rebellion, but at every stage they were thwarted by Mountbatten. In fact, the Indian army could have gone deep into Puke land and brought quick order. In 1948 India was forbidden to use the Airforce (see the pattern). There was a disconnect between the politicos and the army. The politicos were swaying to orders from the Britshits.

There is a wealth of history including Article 370 background. Gilgit became a lynchpin for the Britshits as an outpost to monitor nuclear activity of the Soviets. The Wakhan corridor of Afghanistan was the only sliver of land separating the Soviets (in Tajikistan) and India. There was a tussle between Britshits and the then King of J&K over Gilgit. At independence Gilgit was crucial to be held by the Britshits via the Pukes.

Please do listen to this YT to get an idea of Kashmir, the issues and all the lying/games of the Britshits including making it an international issue in the UN.

Brig Rajinder Singh, Mahavir Chakra, is one of those who saved Kashmir from Falling to the Pakistanis. Colonel Narain Singh Sambyal delayed enemy advance by two crucial days during which important decisions were taken.

These brave men (around 100) under orders of Maharaja of Kashmir defended the territory of Kashmir with little resources, ammo, no radio sets, they gave everything and took a last stand by sacrificing their lives. In and around the villages, the raiders looted, raped and killed non-muslims in an orgy of frenzy and sheer cruelty. Britshit civil servant George Cunningham, ICS, actively egged his provincial government to launch a tribal invasion of Kashmir and then oversaw it under directions from Muhammad Ali Jinnah.

It is very important for every Indian to understand what happened and pay respect to those brave individuals who gave their everything and the supreme sacrifice of their lives. Kashmir is a center of Shaivism, learning and many other civilization excellence. In the 14th century islam and the crude desert culture was thrust upon India.

Please watch this gripping story telling by Col. Ajay Raina. One of the best discussions which isn’t available in any mainstream media or any history books, an eye opener on Kashmir. Neverwho had no guts to take over complete charge of kashmir when the rebels invaded from Pukistan and ever since kashmiris are still suffering even today. Any other Indian leader with a little shraddha and common sense would have done a far better job. The duplicitous nature of the britshits were bared in full limelight of the world. If ever there is blame to be pinned then the Britshits have to own both the nature of partition of bharat (which caused untold horrors and killings) and Kashmir which they unleashed in the wake of their withdrawal from the Indian continent. Karma has a way of getting back.

The Forgotten Battle of Skardu and how India lost Gilgit Baltistan, Indian Troops were abandoned because of a conspiracy.

The Britshit general for Pukes David Gracey and Indian brigadier Sher Jung Thapa who defended Skardu, knew each other playing hockey in their earlier days. He was spared along with his assistant during the seige of Skardu, where Pukes decimated all soldiers, raped the woman and committed gruesome evil acts. They sent a message back to the Puke headqtrs about what heinous crimes they did.

There was an airstrip in Skardu near the fort. India could have sent reinforcements via air, landed at the airport (secured by Indian troops at Skardu fort) and supplied the troops. None of this occurred. Instead the aircrafts dropped supplies from air which landed on the areas where the Puke rebels were, surrounding Skardu.

Also see this about how the Britshit links with Pukes cause Gilgit and Baltistan to end up with the pukes.

The Britshits wanted Gilgit as an observation post to monitor the Soviets on nuclear activity. They began spinning a canard that majority hindus will persecute the muslims (when there is no such history, in fact it is the opposite). They created the religious divide by partition of geographical areas into two nations. When Independence was granted, the aim of retaining Gilgit, put a spanner in the works since J&K had Gilgit. The Britshits then hatched a plan to get Gilgit by hook or crook. The Jihadi lashkars of Puke were willing and ready with a plan to invade J&K. Britshits loved the plan and was in line with their holocaust of more Indians.

Britshit Gen. Frank Messervy of Independent Pak sent a confidential secret letter to Brigadier Murray who commanded an army unit at NW frontier. The next in command was Onkar Singh Kalkat. He opened the letter and read the plans for invasion of Kashmir since he was authorized to do so. Brig. Murray was out enjoying some Rest and Recreation. An internal spy had seen O. S. Kalkat reading the letter. Murray was called up and apprised of things. Both men were uncomfortable with such plans. O. S. Kalkat at the end of Aug 1947 hands over charge and Murray in 1st week of Sept. 1947.

O. S. Kalkat was apprised by two people from another unit that his life and his family's lives were in jeopardy. He made plans to escape without being noticed. He shipped his wife and child first and then later on 16, Oct, 1947 he reaches Ambala, India. Brigadier Pran Thapar was DMO&MI in Delhi and Defence minister Sardar Baldev Singh were apprised by O. S. Kalkat on such plans but they dismissed the whole thing. At that time, the "impending invasion" was being reported from multiple locations. When Operation Gulmarg began the Indian authorities realised their mistake. Major Kalkat was traced only on 24 October. He was taken to Prime Minister Neverwho who shouted at everyone for not taking an officer in a responsible position seriously. {really!, how dumb can a person be for not securing their own borders, being invaded by radical jihadi mobs. Neverwho should have declared emergency and had the Indian Army go all out and secure the place. Instead Neverwho went crying to the UN.}

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2G3zq5T6DA

And the mirpur massacre during partition in 1947 is a hidden story of a tragedy that could have been averted. 60K died and the holocaust on Bharat unleashed by the Britshits continued. When you look at leadership and politicos who caused this worldwide tragedy one wonders why we still venerate these scums.

Those who have deeply studied how India lost the GB, and Northern Areas know that this is a British plot, and the fact that Nehru played along with this plan makes us wonder about the theory that MKG was a British agent. Anyways, what we need to learn from this history is how ruthlessly the Brits acted to preserve their interests even at a time when they were utterly mauled and bankrupt after the 2nd world War. Moving forward, we need to forge a policy of such ruthless self preservation in our FP.

We have held that Article 370 is a temporary provision, says CJI.

Article 370 was an interim arrangement due to war conditions in the State. Textual reading also indicates that it is a temporary provision. Marginal note says it is temporary and transitory, says CJI

Recommendation of the Constituent Assembly was not binding on the President. J&K Constituent Assembly was intended to be a temporary body. When the constituent assembly ceased to exist, the special condition for which 370 was introduced ceased to exist but the situation in the state remained and thus the article continued.

CJI said that the holding power under Article 370(3) ceases to exist after the dissolution of the J&K Constituent Assembly will lead to the freezing of the process of integration. He also said that the court cannot sit on the decision made by the President of India on whether special circumstances under Article 370 exist or not.

Principle of consultation and collaboration was not required to be followed for the exercise of Presidential power. Concurrence of the State govt was not required to apply all provisions of the Constitution using Article 370(1)(d). So the President taking the concurrence of the Union Govt was not malafide: CJI

The reorganisation of Ladakh as Union Territory is upheld as Article 3 allows a portion of State to be made as UT.

Restoration of statehood for Jammu and Kashmir to happen soon: CJI

We have held that CO 272 to the extent of modifying Article 367 is ultra vires Article 370. Some clauses cannot be used to bypass the specific route for a constitutional amendment. Permitting such changes will lead to a disaster: CJI

The restoration of statehood is a sour note. I think a Delhi style statehood would ensure that law and order apparatus within state isn't subverted by jihadi loving politicians

1. The state of Jammu and Kashmir doesn't retain any sovereignty.
2. It doesn't have internal sovereignty separate from the powers of other states.
3. Petitioners didn't challenge the proclamation.
4. The principal challenge is the actions taken after the proclamation.
5. A person challenging the exercise of power must prove prima facie malafide.
6. The historical context of 370 shows it's a temporary provision.
7. Power to abrogate exists.
8. Article 370 cannot be amended by procedure outside procedure under 370(1)(D).
9. Interpretation clause cannot be used to bypass the procedure.
10. The president can issue unilateral notification that Article 370 has ceased to exist -- the did not need the concurrence of state governments.

reading though the 10 salient points, Congi's deliberately kept that state in limbo and provided fertile grounds for separatism
Should the Kashmiri pandits groups file a case against for INC for historical wrongs and loss of life/property.

Does the situation deteriorate , any central government can remove the state hood and make it a union territory. Hope so,,

Sachin ji,

for some of these khan market type SC lawyers, constitutional law still remains a deep mystery

someone may be the master of the roster, but none is a master of the law, at most they may be somewhat familiar with aspects of it that pertains to a majority of their mundane practice

The decision was a de jure fait accompli dictated by the undisputed de facto nature of the accession, but had it gone the other way there would have virtually been a global backlash with geopolitical ramifications.....and that would have unleashed the ever hopeful BIF powers of destabilization

Pakis being pakis will now think of what levers they can use on GB.
For Chinese, any move on GB will be interrupted as "Ladakh borders are next"
So expect the Chinese and Pak to collude on GB.

Supreme Court directs EC to hold elections in Jammu and Kashmir by September 20,2024
SC cannot direct EC (another independent constitutional auth) to hold elections by a certain time frame. It can only recommend. SC has no powers over EC or the Legislative.

So SC recommendation is just that, as a palliative sop for the Urban Naxals and CONgoons.

SC judgement has some more layers. Indian Parliament can also pass a law making Cashmere as UT and granting statehood to Jammu. And holding elections there. Cashmeres have to behave before they get their own state. Ladakh as UT is better protected. And that provides additional avenue for PoK to be integrated into India. Starting with Neelum valley.
