57: Abrogation of Article 370 in Jammu & Kashmir - a podcast by Far From Fact

The lads step out of their comfort zone for this one. In this episode, they try to inform themselves and listeners alike, the many changes that are taking place in Jammu & Kashmir. With hardly any laughs, they actually clean up good, in this rather grown-up, sense-making, information load of an episode. Don't say we didn't warn you.

1) Summary of the situation and abrogation of Article 370

2) Government's reasons for doing this

3) PM's speech on the matter and BJP's strategy

4) Why Article 370 existed in the first place

5) How the Government went about with the abrogation

6) Potential impact of this on the people of J&K

7) Reasons for insurgency in J&K

8) Potential method to gauge success or failure of this move
