>because the Supreme Court of India like most of the silent majority in India understands that a citizen's rights only exist so long as the State itself exists.

There is basic structure doctrine, no? Otherwise why not just have Emergency again

> The majority of state citizens of Kashmir, certainly a majority of the residents and descendants of residents of Kashmir in the 1970s, today resides outside Kashmir. Most left due to terrorism.

Only Pandits are state subjects?

No, all Kashmiris are state subjects. However virtually all pandits, about 40% of the population in 1970 and about 35% of other Kashmiris have left the state and that is a majority. Kashmir, the state is a pretty big place. It’s not just the valley.

Now you're telling me Pandits went from 40% in 1970 to 5% before 1990? Did Dogras in Jammu become Pandits now? Are you talking about Ladakh being hived off?

Hmm. Only in BJP Math Classes 40% out of 100% is a Majority, & 60% rest are minority. Because 40% is Hindu, & 60% is non hindu. All citizens are equal, but every Hindu is more equal than non hindu.
Re:India protests: Internet cut to hunger-striking farmers i... by quantgenius on Sunday January 31, 2021 @10:41AM (#25979569)
40% + (35% * 60%) = 57.5% > 50%. Hence a majority. It's simple math.

As on 1990s, Jammu & Kashmir

Displaced Hindus = 6 Lakh [1]

Population = 78 Lakh [2]

Percentage: 7.69%

what the fuck is wrong with you... https://www.thehindu.com/news/ldquo219-Kashmiri-Pandits-kill...

the hindu reports only 19 pandits were killed > A total number of 38,119 families comprising 1,42,042 Kashmiri migrants were registered with the Revenue and Relief Ministry till now.

where the fuck did you get the 6lakh figure from?

https://theprint.in/pageturner/excerpt/right-wing-exaggerate...

this even mentions this exaggerated figure

> A total of 38,119 Kashmiri Pandit families were registered with the government, of which 24,202 migrated in January 1990.

4 persons per family is how much? 6lakh? 24202*4-600000???

are this this fucking dumb?

No worries, I know more swear words you ***†!! Read, learn to read. The sources are in my post.

I just wanted to be safe & took the highest from the range posted on Wikipedia. 5,98,000 rounded to 6 Lakh.

& Real the originals posts, the other guy is saying some 50% something people migrated. I was proving it's AT MOST only 7% you mf¥¥ker.

No No, you are a Sikh, so you will have value when they need to show off that they are a pluralistic country to the west.

I mean the BJP government passed a law that said "we will allow citizenship for minorities who are of all religions, except Tibetans and Muslims" Then in the next breath talk about how this is not targeting a specific religion.

I really do hope people argue the case, because at least for external observers the hypocrisy is clear.

No, they said all people who are ALREADY here (on it before 2014) and were promised protection and citizenship at the time of partition will have that promise fulfilled. Everybody and people of all kinds get citizenship using the same rule as before, there are no bans or changes.

This is false and I am sure you are well aware of it. Please don't spread lies on HN to make it a platform for your political agenda.

You know, it's funny, then someone brings up Hazaras or Ahmedis and it's like that scene in Baadshah where the clock strikes 13:30 (not trying to invoke any baara baj gaye stereotypes by stealth sorry in advance)
