PROBLEMS FACED BY THE KASHMIRIANS: (PAST TO PRESENT)

Three divisions of KASHMIR

Political Instability

Region OR Religion

AFSPA(Armed Force Special Powers Act)

CURRENT SCENARIO

Situation is ‘UNPREDICTABLE’

Party comes into power with the saying “Peace will be brought by us !”

Very few members put their words into action.

On one hand there are different ‘Peace-Keeping Organizations’ working and on the other hand there are separatist activities, riots taking place.

E.g.:- ‘stone-pelters’

It is the ‘Paradise on Earth’ but the situation is worst than ‘HELL’
