The problem in J & K is a long lasting. It did not start just now, It has been there since 1947. The only difference is that this political turmoil has taken a little different shape in the sense that we all know that there are external forces who are helping the local inhabitants to create chaos in the Kashmir area. Blaming Pakistan for this political upheavals is not the solution. The solution rests with the job creation for these demonstrators. They are unemployed and/or underemployed. As they say, idle mind is a devil's mind. They have nothing to do in life and they become an easy prey of external forces to participate in the destructive activities. Needless to say, it is up to the incumbent local government to work with the central government and find ways to create an employment situation for these individuals. One way to do is to be mentally prepared to make changes in the local Constitution and repeal an Article 370. Deletion of this Article will encourage investment from other parts of India which will be helpful in creating jobs. Once these unemployed becomes employed, the turmoil in the streets will be minimized. Also, these new employed will be contributing revenue to the local exchequer which will be a win win situation. All it requires is setting aside ego and politics. When the original Constitution was written, the political situation was different. Now with the changing time and political situation, it is prudent to change the Constitution - earlier the better.
