Governance issues to blame for alienation in J&K, says expert (Observer Research Foundation)

Jammu & Kashmir is a fractured whole. Estranged from the rest of the nation constitutionally, Article 370 elevates the state in the scheme of Indian federalism, consequently instilling a sense of exclusivity in its populace. While it is common to consider the State as a political whole, internally Jammu, Kashmir and Ladakh are three distinct entities culturally, socially and in many ways even share varying political aspirations. The Government policy and developmental interventions also vary widely in these three regions.
