India's Kashmir records high voter turnout – without Modi’s BJP on ballot • FRANCE 24 English

There were two surprises when Kashmir went to the polls in the fourth phase of India's general elections. One, the ruling Hindu nationalist party, the BJP, was absent on the ballots. Two, the turnout was high by Kashmir's standards. FRANCE 24's Leela Jacinto asked Radha Kumar, seasoned analyst and author of several books on Kashmir, why and what are the implications for the disputed region.

[ऋषभx]

No coverage of how Pakistani army are shooting cashmiris in Pakistan occupied cash mir. No humans rights are being violated now.

[manumudgal]

Lol analysis. She cant pronounce Kashmir.

[amanj]

Both losers discussing why Modi is successful..

[gajendrapatil]

It is not Indian Administratered Kashmir it is Indian Kashmir, your expert is congressi nominee seems foolish living in western Capital, intellectuals level poor.

[Aajkuchtoofanikartehai.]

Why, you guys are displaying old images of Kashmir ?

Kashmir belongs to India and it is an integral part of India.

[jaibholenath]

Humiliation of all Kashmiris she is saying.
She includes Kashmir's Hindu Refugees??

[Ekno]

It is a pitty that the Western media looks everything from the lens of religion. "Hindu nationalist Party", "Muslim majority state of Kashmir"....what a disgrace...please, gather the courage to recognize the good work and development in Kashmir.

[belogical]

You people are confused why they are participating in the election ?
The improvement in Kashmir is incremental, you cannot expect an overnight change. From no vote to participation in vote is a remarkable improvement.

Bravo.. Carefully chosen Analyst from India ( of course a biased Expert on Kashmir) carrying out Western Agenda in India. Check out her Wikipedia page which says ""She is also co-founder and Director-General of the Delhi Policy Group, a think-tank which has received generous funding from US-based agencies including the Ford Foundation.""..This trend of pseudo-intellectuals acting as conduits for Western narratives in exchange for financial support is becoming increasingly tiresome for India.

[bimalroy]

Free new Caledonia France before saying Kashmir 😂😂

[nithinpavithran]

Who is she and what are her credentials to comment on our democracy

[prashkd]

You really need to find better analysts. This women creats her answers to match the tone of question. On one side she's calling abrogation as humiliation of kashmiries and immediately in the next question she starts to mumble when asked about such a large voter turnout.

[brs]

Article 370 was abrogated and it was validated by Indian Supreme Court. Typical of these so called analysts to omit that.

[rkanagala]

Stupid analysis with half truths.. who are these people who have no idea before they speak..

[AbhishekTibrewalnoida]

"Kaashmir"? Bloody she is an expert? She can't even pronounce Kashmir as it is...😂😂😂

[vikashHustler]

it's Kashmir not Cashmir ...and Kashmir is an integral and ineliable part of Undivided India

[FutureAITrend]

I don't understand why they focus on religion, started the video with the term muslim majorities state, what the hell don't impose your agenda to us, we all are one Indian, we don't go and start saying christian majorities France

[tandoori_naan_]

What a waste of life by these two boomers.

[shailjoshi]

Dr . Radhakumar is absolutely biased . She claims to be an expert on kashmir . Cant help but laugh at her views . What the Congress and other regional parties couldnt do in 70 yrs, BJP has done something unbelievable in kashmir by bringing some sort of normalcy in Kashmir . The so called kashmir expert seems to be a congress and oppostion stooge .
