The Atlantic - Modi’s Decision on Kashmir Reveals a Brittleness in India

But whatever the cocktail of ideology, domestic politics, and security concerns that drove India’s decision, it does not change the fact that the move reveals a certain brittleness in India’s constitutional arrangements.

That many BJP leaders routinely use shrill anti-Muslim rhetoric raises the stakes further.
