I don’t hate Pandits. I had Pandit classfellows in college and Hindu friends at college and school. Shame on you for implying this. I hate that things got to this point, that’s why I bring these things up. These are complaints that people had in 1980s and you aren’t going to erase them. NIT Srinagar was formerly “Regional Engineering College”

You absolutely do. Every comment you have made has this underlying racism against the Pandits. There is no question about it. You denying it won't change the opinion I have already made about you. An NIT cannot be transformed back into an REC. I studied in NITK which was earlier KREC. When it becomes an NIT, AICTE rules apply. We had students from Kashmir studying in NITK too when I was pursuing my degree. Kashmiris…

I’m not Kashmiri, my grandfather belonged to Gulbarga (in fact, Mirwaiz and Geelani hate my community and would have me executed and thrown out of Islam even though a shrine in Srinagar is holy place for them ) and I wasn’t saying there was 75% reservation. I am talking about the admissions results in 1986 [1] esp for premedical studies. You cannot seriously tell me 95% of valley is bagging 25% of seats without there being serious underinvestment in education on both federal and state levels. As for my class fellow, she is professor at Stanford now, you can ask her if she thinks I am racist.

Is this going to be a preview of the post-Article 370 wonders to come?

Who is "we"? This is how democracy works, and those rural voters have a say in what happens. This country would crumble within months without all those flyover states contributing to the nation.

Excellent, I expect these rural Kashmiri voters will be able to elect their MLAs real soon now

Well, not even panchayat, let alone MLA: https://thewire.in/politics/jk-defers-panchayat-poll-ec

I’ll concede that not all of those 75% could be domiciled Kashmiri (ie Pandit/Sikh)
