The fallout of the controversy and agitations has claimed more than 20 lives, driven a wedge between the people of Jammu and Kashmir and created fear and division in the hearts of the Muslim population of Jammu (whose predominant ethnicity is Gujjar, Bakerwal and Pahadi Rajput).
In the valley the languishing embers of separatism have been stoked to a raging flame and even formerly moderate leaders have begun talking about a new state of Greater Kashmir that will include the districts of Rajori, Doda and Poonch carved out the Jammu region and Kargil from Ladakh. And for all the denials by the Army that there is no economic blockade ASSOCHAM has said that J&K has suffered a loss of 1,500 crore in the past few weeks.
