"But there were no celebrations on Gupkar road where Farooq Abdullah, Omar Abdullah and Mehbooba Mufti, all former CMs, have homes. None of them campaigned for their candidates."
Irrespective of what the "Gupkar Alliance" got and blame the GOI, it is also equally blameworthy for the miseries of the people of Kashmir, the example of PDP as the latest one (NC also can't be exonerated) is befitting here, which allied with BJP to enjoy the power in J&K and gave footings to fascists.
The freedom, equality and safety of the people of any nation, religion, gender, color, creed, etc. (more so if in minority) is only possible in a socialist country, where the profit is not a criteria for production and where the corporates and their political parties are no more rulers.
The people of Kashmir and the proletarian class of India are under fascism and resisting but disunited and without a common aim, which must be to bury capitalism, and hence without common program. Their miseries, may be different, but have common umbilical cord, and demands unity.
Unless proletarian class and the oppressed people join together against the corporations plunder, and with the aim of establishing People's Democracy, our miseries, exploitation and oppression, repression (includes state sponsored) will continue!
(The question of Kashmir is very important for the peace, prosperity and stability of Indian Subcontinent and even S Asia.)
