"Indian Court Upholds End of Kashmir's Special Status, Raising Concerns for Federalism"

India's Supreme Court has upheld the government's decision to revoke the special status of Jammu and Kashmir, ordering the region to hold local elections by September 30, 2024. The move, seen as a clampdown on India's only Muslim-majority region, divided the region into two federal territories ruled directly by the central government. Political parties in Kashmir expressed disappointment, vowing to continue their fight for honor and dignity. The region has been at the center of animosity between India and Pakistan since their independence from British rule in 1947.
