India's Modi trumpets Kashmir, Muslim marriage moves in Independence Day speech

MUMBAI - Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi delivered an Independence Day speech on Thursday that spotlighted a decision to remove the special rights of the disputed Himalayan region of Kashmir among the bold moves of his second term.

But he did not touch on sagging demand that has hit parts of the economy in recent months, especially the auto sector. Critics of the policy say it will bring a backlash from Kashmiri Muslims who had valued the previous ban on non-residents buying property in the state, part of which is claimed by Pakistan, and benefited from the reservation of state government jobs for residents.

Perhaps the most controversial announcement in Modi’s speech was the creation of a new post of chief of defense staff, to ensure better coordination between India’s army, navy and air force, along the lines of Western military forces.

Just like the jews did with the Golan Heights ?

..he also spoke about birth control, education and environmental issues.

And the other country that gained freedom with IndianIndependence without ever putting up fight against British: only by terrorizing Hindu for a separate nation: is falling like cards...terrorism, unemployment, economic crisis & failed ImranKhanPrimeMinister obsessed with RSS

Ordinary man Modi wears a dress that ancient Maharajas wore.
