Explain,why not?

180 degrees * 2/4/6/8 = 360 or multiples - you are back in the direction you started.

Trust Nilgiri to be devious.

Very good analysis. But it must be taken into consideration that Kashmir was always in turmoil, what modi have made worst?

Kashmir came into its present state from 1989 onwards; earlier, the situation was substantially different. Even during the present stage of increased influence of the Hurriyat, matters have been aggravated by the Modi government's desperation to show that it was indeed a forceful, assertive and effective administration, and the clouds of publicity surrounding everything, including several actions that had been taken earlier by the military without exciting public opinion within Kashmir. The latest affront was the brutish insensitivity of the publicity around the tracking down and killing of Burhan Wani.

Lot of forum folks here are well versed in Trigger-nometry if you know what I mean.

A significant chunk of the population was pro-India (or at least neutral) back then. Even during the peak of militancy in the early '90s many Kashmiris still had hope in India. Pakistani LeT, in fact, was never very well-liked among local Kashmiris. Today, the number of militants has dropped significantly (from several thousand in the 90s to merely two hundred or so currently) but the support for the new generation Kashmiri militants has tremendously grown. Anti-India sentiment is at an all-time high and Pakistan's "relevance" is at an all-time low. Kashmiris, most of them, hate India, but they don't like Pakistan either, they chant pro-Pakistan slogans and carry Pakistani flags only to irk the Indians.

Kashmiris way of keeping as much independence and not liking any side "winning" over the other I suppose.

Thank you for this nuanced relative take on the situation...it is very refreshing past the usual absolute posturing done on this forum.

He talks about Sikhs and Khalistan. I think the Indian government (and the Indian Punjab government) is more worried about drugs and narcotics (even arms) that are smuggled into Indian Punjab from Pakistan through the Shakargarh-Gurdaspur/IOK border (which is also infiltrator's first choice) than 'Khalistan'. Indian Punjab has a very serious drug problem and a number of Sikhs living close to the border are involved in drug trafficking. BSF has very strict rules and those Sikh agriculturists whose agricultural lands are close to zero-line are not allowed to plow their fields (or even enter them) after the sunset. During daytime, they can do so only under strict watch of BSF jawans and they are not allowed to get off their tractors no matter what. Usually, plastic pipes are used for delivering material to the other side as the double-fence makes crossing over quite difficult.
