The answer to the question is that on 5th august, 2019 India revoked nearly all of Article 370 in the constitution, stripping Jammu and Kashmir of the autonomy it had been guaranteed. At that time , PM Modis Hindu Nationalist BJP-led government argued the move was necessary to restore stability and bring economic prosperity to the region.
Narendra Modi justified the controversial decision, saying that Kashmirs status a historical blunder, while others insisted that Kashmir is peaceful now like never before.
But militant attecks in the region have continued even as security forces have intensified counter-insurgency operations.
A senior security officer , who wished to remain anonymous, told the BBC that of 200 currently active militants, 80 are believed to be from Pakistan and than 120 are locals. Between January and July this year, 76 kashmiris have picked , the official said.
He said that no new foreign militant had been added to the list of active militants in Kashmir this year. Amit Shahs political aim to recover POK is not backed by Indias military capacity. By comparing the illegal occupation of POK with that of Aksai Chin, India for the first time has diplomatically put China o defensive.
After Amit Shah and Rajnath Singh, now S. Jaishankar has also made a strong statement on POK. The External Affairs Minister Tuesday said, POK is part of India and we expect one day to have physical jurisdiction over it.
Is there a paradigm shift in Indias foreign policy and national security strategy?
The parliamentary resolution of February 1994 clearly said that Pakistan-occupied Kashmir(POK) is an integral part of India. So, why is there a need to reiterate it, and that too ahead of the key UN General Assembly meeting?
The last policy shift has put both Pakistan and China on notice, especially because the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC), which includes strategic road and rail links, passes through Gilgit-Baltistan.
While Akhand Bharat is a lofty concept, the BJP and the RSS are ideologically committed to recovering the territories under illegal occupation of Pakistan and China.
POK consists of Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan (both pseudo autonomous states but de facto governed by Pakistan), with Pakistan ceding Shaksgam Valley to China in 1963. India is also committed to the recovery of Aksai Chin and other area of JK occupied/annexed by China through a parliament resolution passed on 14 November 1962. In the past, despite reiterating its claims over POK and Aksai Chin, India had in real terms accepted the partition of Jammu and Kashmir with the Line of Control (LOC) and Line of Actual Control(LAC) as the de facto boarders.
