Two days ago the NY Times main article about the Indian revocation of Article 370 was written with scathing remarks against India. Why? Because: India officials didn't HAVE TO imprison the two former Kashmir Chief Ministers like Abdullah and Mufti. Indian officials didn't HAVE TO cut off all communication in the Kashmir Valley. Indian officials didn't HAVE TO impose restrictions on so many things. Indian officials didn't HAVE TO mobilize its airforce--as if Pakistan would attack India. With the extra Indian troops poured into the Kashmir Valley, signing off on a piece of paper of almost certain illegal nature and of limited actual value, should not have merited such a strong India response.
But the world, including the Americans saw all that. Thank the Lord for the social media and the internet! The current American President, who is a teetotaler but is an internet-holic! And this time, I really think, even India's strategic allies Americans didn't like the high-handedness.
India forgets that it is a brown nation of pagan beliefs. India has no real allies in America except what India can buy off, bribe or what the Indian 5th columnists in America can do for India.
