GOLI SODA Posted October 10, 2019 Author Share Posted October 10, 2019 A talk by historian and academic Srinath Raghavan on the current state of affairs in Jammu & Kashmir and, as importantly, its history, has revealed several facts that run counter to the popular perception in support of nullifying Article 370. In a lecture titled The State and The Status, organised by public discourse agency Manthan India, Raghavan pointed out that the process of diluting the measures of the Article began long ago.

GOLI SODA Posted October 10, 2019 Author Share Posted October 10, 2019 Vallabhbhai Patel would not have allowed Kashmir to have come to such a pass had he been in charge. Raghavan cites evidence to show that Patel supported the special status granted to Kashmir. And that he had even offered to let Pakistan have Kashmir if India could have Hyderabad.

GOLI SODA Posted October 10, 2019 Author Share Posted October 10, 2019 Kashmir was the only state to get special Constitutional privileges. Raghavan points out that the erstwhile princely states of Travancore and Mysore, among others, had the same privilege, though they chose to adopt the Indian Constitution in its entirety.
