It is welcome that the Court has set a deadline to conduct the long-delayed elections in J&amp;K, which has <strong>been under spells of (Held in trance)<\/strong> Governor\u2019s Rule and President\u2019s Rule since June 20, 2018 and without a Legislative Assembly. But it is also <strong>incongruous (Lacking in harmony, compatibility or appropriateness) <\/strong>that the judgment does not press the government to restore statehood to the bifurcated Union Territory, a promise that has been conveyed by the Solicitor General, but has yet to gain <strong>fruition (The condition of bearing fruit)<\/strong>. The Bench remarks that direct elections cannot be put on hold until statehood is restored but it could have directed the Union government to restore statehood and conduct elections by a specified date, as there remains no reason for the continuance of J&amp;K as a Union Territory. Restoration of statehood is an important measure as this guarantees a degree of federal autonomy to the province, that should allow the elected government to be able to better address the concerns of the electorate than depend on the representatives of the Union government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>J&amp;K remains among India\u2019s most conflict-prone regions partially due to historical reasons related to integration of the <strong>erstwhile (Belonging to some prior time) <\/strong>princely State into the Indian Union and later due to accumulated <strong>grievances (A resentment strong enough to justify retaliation) <\/strong>over the conduct of democratic processes in the erstwhile State. Even when periodic and regular elections were conducted during the height of the militancy, participation was limited in many parts of the Valley, denoting the <strong>disenchantment (Disappointment on finding out that something is not as good as hoped, or that previous beliefs were false) <\/strong>with the political system. But things took a change for the better since the early-mid 2000s when electoral participation improved and J&amp;K\u2019s citizens began to <strong>partake (Have, give, or receive a share of) <\/strong>in the democratic process to get their concerns addressed before <strong>agitations (A mental state of extreme emotional disturbance) <\/strong>and protests \u2014 including by separatists \u2014 over security policies and the later steps taken by the Bharatiya Janata Party government led to the current state of affairs. In the last five and a half years, local government elections have been held with varying levels of participation indicating that the mood in the Valley has been against the measures that have been implemented since 2018. India\u2019s unique selling proposition as a leader in the Global South remains its <strong>robust (Strong enough to withstand or overcome intellectual challenges or adversity) <\/strong>conduct of formal democratic process and which in itself is important for conflict resolution in places such as Kashmir. Without political processes, a contestation of ideas and a sense that elected representatives can address the grievances of citizens, there cannot be any normalcy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Want to improve your vocabulary further?&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/vocabulary\/the-hindu-editorial-vocabulary-download-free-pdf\/\">Download the Lists of Word-Meanings of Previous Months here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Want to know the meanings of difficult words published in the editorial of December 13, 2023?
