Crisis It is the testing time for the Indian democracy as India was severely jolted by the internal and external threats and also by the political crisis during the months of July and August. First it was cash for vote scam them serial bomb blasts and now the rift that has surfaced between Jammu and Kashmir following the Amarnath land issue. Some of the regional parties tried to exploit the issue but soon the situation slipped out of their hands and the most of the agitations in Kashmir were headed by Hurriyat a pro-Pakistani party. In such circumstances these regional parties lost their command over the people of the region. Now they are neither trusted by Kashiris nor by the people of Jammu.

Blockade But the land row has increased the rift between Jammu and Kashmir following the mass agitations in both of the regions. Situation worsened  because of the road blockade between Jammu and Kashmir that severely affected the Kashmir region. Hurriyat and other anti-India elements has exploited the situation by terming the Jammu agitations as an economic blockade of the Kashmir region which is helped by government of India. They are trying to present the  divide between both of the reasons as a rift between Hindus of Jammu and Muslims of Kashmir. It is being projected by them that Jammu agitations are headed by Hindu radicals who have forced the economic blockade of the Kashmir region disrupting the supply of essential goods and life saving medicines.

Results But those people who are closely watching the developments in the region have totally adverse views of the situation. According to them it is not a rift between Muslims and Hindus but a  difference between national and anti-national people of the region. During the agitations in Kashmir tri-color was burnt by the agitators on the other hand agitators in Jammu are agitating against the soft stand of the central and state governments towards the anti- national elements of Kashmir region while holding the tri-colors in hands with full respect. It is not the Hindu agitation but a rising of India against the years of blackmail ship and militancy by the pro-Pakistani elements. It is only the Jammu region if the situation is not handled properly by the government then the agitations will expand to the other parts of India and the central government will have to take hard steps against the pro-Pakistani Kashmiri elements that it had not taken in 1989 when thousands of Hindus were killed and forced to flee from valley.
