This Idea of\nIndia rejects the idea of a theocratic state of any religious majority. <\/li><li>It include a united India with scientific temper\nas a foundation of new India. <\/li><li>It is a welfare state that would actively work\nto develop the country for its people; the state has been given an important\nrole. <\/li><li>The Idea envisages of a modern, educated,\ndemocratic, secular, technologically sophisticated society, with equality of\nopportunity, and gender equality, whose people enjoy a comfortable and healthy\nlife. It offered, not just freedom of worship, but equal respect for all\nreligions.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Idea of India\nvis-vis recent action by the government in Jammu and Kashmir: <\/strong>Recently\nIndian Government abrogated the Article 370 and created two union territory by\nsplitting Jammu and Kashmir from Ladakh. This action would enhance Idea of\nIndia as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Economic opportunities:<\/strong> Jammu &amp;\nKashmir had the highest monthly average unemployment rate of 15% between\nJanuary 2016 and July 2019 among all the states. This step by government will\nenhance investment and job opportunities in Jammu and Kashmir. The significant\nmove, opens up potential opportunities for development-led economic growth in\nthe Union Territories of J&amp;K and Ladakh. This will help in achieving a more\ninclusive India with development spreading to even J&amp;K.<\/li><li><strong>Harmony:<\/strong> With action of government in\nJ&amp;K, separatist tendencies will reduce which are threat to Idea of India. Also,\nit will ensue that valley remain conducive for all and not only one religion or\nsect. This will allow harmony among various sects in the region.<\/li><li><strong>Education: <\/strong>These actions would lead to\nopening up of institutions of national importance like IITs, IIMs in the\nvalley. Professors who were not ready to go there as their children don\u2019t get\nadmission in schools will settle there. This will help in educating youth and\nwill prevent their brainwashing by anti-social elements. Idea of India\ninherently include an overall educated society especially youth.<\/li><li><strong>Security: <\/strong>It will bolster security in the\nvalley through timely and swift action. National Intelligence would strengthen\nagainst terrorism through better presence in the valley. However, it will take\nsome time to do so. Also due to designation as union territory the state\u2019s\npolice will not be answerable to Kashmir-based politicians. Rather, the police\nwill answer to the centre. This move will help the centre better control\nviolence in Kashmir. This will help in reducing role of external players in\nIndia, thereby promoting peace, security and cohesion in the society. A united\nIndia is inherent in idea of India.<\/li><li><strong>Corruption:<\/strong> Idea of India means a corrupt\nfree society with transparent administration. Earlier many of India\u2019s\nanti-corruption laws were not applicable in Kashmir. It is widely recognised\nthat political actors in the state have long been on the payroll of all sides,\nallowing them to accumulate vast wealth. Now central government can effectively\nact against corruption paving way for development of the region.<\/li><li><strong>Better Rights: <\/strong>India can\u2019t progresswithout\nensuring basic rights to its citizens. Article 370 had numerous pernicious\nimpacts. Kashmir\u2019s citizens were denied many of the advantages of modern India.\nFor example, it prevented the implementation of the Right to Education in the\nvalley. It also denied residents of the erstwhile Kashmir the advantages of the\nsystem of reservations enjoyed by other disadvantaged caste communities. Now\nJ&amp;K people will enjoy all such rights.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Although Government action in J&amp;K has many short term consequences, it would lead to integration of J&amp;K into Idea of India with development and inclusiveness of J&amp;K in the country\u2019s progress. What is required is active participation of all the stakeholders not only in J&amp;K but also in other regions to grow together and ensuring peace and cohesion in the society.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Demand of the question Introduction.
