Dave, since you asked this pertinent question and I pointed to Ladakh as a success story within the state of Jammu and Kashmir — I do hope you read The National Identity XXXI: Kashmir Comes Home. The Indian government scrapped Article 370 of the Constitution, on 5 August 2019, which granted the state of Jammu and Kashmir special powers. The state is now bifurcated into two Union Territories (governed by the Federal Government) — Jammu & Kashmir and Ladakh.
