A Shift in the Fight Against Terrorism In recent years, Jammu and Kashmir has been a hotbed of terrorism and unrest, with militant groups operating in the region causing havoc and instability. However, since Narendra Modi took office as Prime Minister in 2014, there has been a significant shift in the approach to tackling terrorism in Kashmir. Modi’s government has adopted a multi-faceted strategy to address the root causes of terrorism in the region, including political, economic, and security measures. One of the key aspects of this strategy has been a focus on development and infrastructure projects in Kashmir, aimed at improving the quality of life of its residents and addressing long-standing grievances. The government has also taken a tough stance on militancy, with security forces given a free hand to deal with terrorists. This has led to a significant decrease in terrorist activities in the region, with many top militant commanders being neutralized in recent years. Another important aspect of Modi’s approach to Kashmir has been diplomatic efforts to isolate Pakistan, which has long been accused of supporting and funding terrorist groups operating in the region. Modi’s government has successfully lobbied international allies to put pressure on Pakistan to crack down on terrorist groups operating on its soil. Critics of Modi’s approach argue that it has led to an increase in human rights abuses in Kashmir, with reports of excessive use of force by security forces. However, supporters argue that the tough stance has been necessary to bring an end to terrorism in the region and restore peace and stability. Modi’s approach to Kashmir represents a significant shift in the fight against terrorism in the region. While there are valid concerns about human rights abuses, the overall impact of Modi’s strategy has been positive, leading to a significant decrease in terrorist activities in Kashmir.
