Can PM Modi's new government bring peace to the Kashmir Valley? Throughout the election campaign, the BJP spoke about its intention to abrogate Articles 370 and 35A, which gives Kashmir its distinct identity. It also seems clear that this government may be far less willing to rehabilitate radicalised youth than was the case when they were in alliance with the PDP in the state. The big question is this - has the BJP decisively moved beyond Vajpayee's foundation for peace in Kashmir - "Insaniyat, Jamhuriyat, Kashmiriyat".
