| Militancy | | | For decades militancy has been a major impediment to the rapid development of the state. The ongoing bloodbath and loss of countless human lives has put an indelible scar on the face of politicians who have encouraged regionalism just to consolidate their vote bank.
The surge in militancy and the Centre’s counter-insurgency operations have had a catastrophic affect on the locals, who find themselves alienated from the mainstream.
The continued armed conflict in the region has drained and diverted the available resources from development work to an unprecedented arms build-up. Brutal killings, bomb blasts, suicide attacks have become a part and parcel of an ordinary Kashmiri’s life.
In order to change the fate of Kashmir as a militancy-riddled state to a peacefully developing state, the onus is on the local voters to choose between a life under the shadow of bullets or good governance which comes through the power of ballet.
The situation also requires the locals to realise that the winds of development will sweep the state only when an acceptable solution to all major issues of conflict including Kashmir is achieved through diplomatic channels. |
