Before the mass shooting on May 14 in Buffalo New York, 180 pages were

posted online, the gunmen Payton said that he want to aware the fellow white
about the real problem which West is facing. According to him if the problem of
mass immigration and having not enough baby by the by white people, if not dealt
timely will result in complete racial and cultural replacement of European people.
According to the theory of “ Great Replacement” to achieve the political agenda,
nonwhite peoples were brought into Europe and US to replace white voters.
Through the influx of mass non-white immigrants especially of different colors can
lead to extinction of white race. India in the disputed regions of J&K carrying out
various activities under the light of great replacement theory.

Abrogation of article 370 and 35A:


Under article 370 J&K were exempted from the Indian constitution, they were
allow to draft their own constitution except communication, foreign affairs,
defence and finance, and were outside the restriction of Indian parliament
legislative power. Under that they can have their own flag and penal code. Under
article 370 they were given special status. Article 35a guaranteed their distinct
identity being permanent residents of the state. Under article 35a the people of
J&K can have special rights in matter of Public employment acquisition of
immoveable property and settling in different parts of the state. The abrogation led
the fallowing changes.

 Abrogation of article 35a will effects the cultural identity and economic
opportunities of J&K by outsiders especially the Dogra people of Jammu, as
it has protected them from domination by elites and affluent outsiders.
 Article 370 abrogation lead to abrogation of special status of J&K now they
are under the constitution of India. It will also abrogate the 35a which allow
Indian citizen to purchase land and permanent settlement in the state.
 J&K won’t have separate anthem, flag and constitution.

It is an internationally recognized disputed territory could be solved through a


plebiscite fallowing the guidelines of UN. Although the acts was completely
negated by the people of the region and severe reactions have been shown, to
counter that India has changed the region into biggest jail. By abrogating article
370 and 35a, India has used the tunnel to apply the Indian constitution on the state.
It will change the relation of the state with the rest of India and will effect the
culture, identity, demography and politics of J&K. India has used the great
replacement to achieve the political agenda and to extinct the different identity of
the region . By abrogating both the articles it has replace the special status as well
as the identity, which are now under the jurisdiction of Indian constitution like the
rest of Indian states.

Delimitation:
It is a process of demarcation of boundaries of constituencies of parliamentary or
assembly carry out to ensure that each constituency has approximately equal
number of voters. The process is carry out after each census so that all the equal
number of voters should have one representative in Lok Sabha as well as state
assemblies. Overall population of Jammu and Kashmir according to 2011 census
has 68.8% of Muslims. Jammu, a Hindu majority region 62.6% of Hindus and
33.5% of Muslims while the Kashmir, a Muslim majority region have 94.4% of
Muslims population and 2.5% of Hindus

The delimitation commission report is out now, fulfilling the agenda of BJP under
the Hindutva ideology. The commission has allocated 43 seats to Jammu, a Hindu
majority region by increasing six seats while the Kashmir, a Muslim majority
region was given 47 seats with an increase of just one seat and 24 seats were
reserved for Kashmir administered by Pakistan, with a total strength of 90 seats
from 83. Pakistan, OIC, opposition parties as well as the Communist party of India
has criticized the move from different perspectives. It will change the political
future of the region, a Muslim majority region will be represented by Hindu. The
biggest take away from the recommendations of the commission is that it will
change the demography and have a disproportionate or wrong number of ACs as
per the population.

India in the disputed region of J&K first used the tunnels of article 370 and 35a to
bring the state under the jurisdiction of Indian constitution which will be
administered just like the other states of India and have no cultural identity and a
separate status. Indians now can settled there and buy property. With the
delimitation, the demography, political future and representation will be changed
as Muslims majority region will be represented by Hindu and will be directly
administered by ruling BJP. Although in this case no immigrants were brought
with the aim of to achieve a political agenda but delimitations were carried out and
to extinct the cultural identity special status were removed. The above two acts are
interconnected which verify the assumptions of Great Replacement Theory of
replacing the political power and identity.

Addes:
Terrorism cannot be defined like other phenomena but can be understood from perspective.
According to Eqbal Ahmad the terrorist of yesterday is hero todays while the hero of yesterday is
a terrorist of today. In a constantly changing world we have to keep our heads straight to
understand what terrorism is and what’s not. With constantly changing image and race for
creating a dominant discourse to change the perspective, understanding the phenomena is
important from the right angle. According to a book written by Normen Lowe “ Mastering
Modern History” 6th edition when communism collapsed in Eastern Europe and USSR broke in
1991, the cold war came to an end. US on the other side left with supreme power and police man
of the world. By defeating communism US was full of confident, it was the time when optimist
thought that the world could look now forward to peace and harmony as US itself being the land
of freedom and benevolence would lead the world to flourished democracy. It can act as a police
man to keep the rouge state under control. It was the time when at John Hopkins university
economic professor argued that the world has reached the end of history.

However the world turned out totally different as predicted. Most of the states throughout the
world were not happy by the domination of US and contradicted with the world view of US. It
was strong both militarily and economically and it was quite difficult for weak states to
challenge the structure and domination by conventional method. It seems terrorism and backing
the terrorist groups was the only option left to counter US and its allies. The book claim that it
was the start of state sponsored terrorism in world when terrorist groups having the support of
states start acting outside their specified territory.
