摘要

It is nearly three weeks since the government of Narendra Modi, in one swoop, scrapped Jammu & Kashmir's constitutional autonomy, ended its status as a state and divided it into two parts, both to be ruled from Delhi. It carried this out not by consulting the region's 12m-odd inhabitants on whose behalf it claims to be acting, nor after a national discussion or even the semblance of a proper parliamentary debate.
