History and Politics

Who writes the story of Kashmir and how do past events shape today's politics? This category brings you plain, useful coverage: background that matters, on-the-ground updates, and short explainers so you can understand why each event changes things.

We focus on three simple goals. First, give context—short timelines, key dates, and clear definitions so names and events stop feeling confusing. Second, explain the politics—who’s making decisions, what they want, and how those choices affect people's daily lives. Third, stay practical—reporting that points out what changed and what might change next.

Take a recent piece: "Is India a better or worse place than 50 years ago?" That article looks at big trends—economic growth, health and education gains, and rising inequality and environmental strain. It’s useful here because national shifts often affect Kashmir differently than other states. Reading it helps you map national change onto regional realities.

What you’ll find here

Short history explainers that put current events in context. For example, quick timelines of key agreements, conflicts, and political shifts help you track how today’s headlines fit into longer trends. Expect pieces that answer common questions: Why did certain laws change? What did past elections look like? Who were the main actors in key moments?

Policy and politics pieces that break down government decisions, court rulings, and party positions without jargon. We explain what a law does, who it helps or hurts, and how it might play out on the ground. When protests or new policies appear, you won’t just get reactions—you’ll get what to watch next.

Voices from the region: interviews and first-person reports that show how history and politics affect real lives—farmers, students, shopkeepers, and local leaders. These give texture to facts and help you see the human side of political choices.

How we cover sensitive topics

We know history and politics in this region can be emotional and complex. Our aim is clarity, not taking cheap sides. Stories use verified facts, named sources when possible, and clear timelines. If an issue has disputed versions, we show the main perspectives and the evidence behind them, so you can form your own view.

Want a straight answer fast? Look for our quick explainer boxes and timelines inside articles. Want deeper reading?

If a piece matters to daily life—access to services, security changes, or local elections—we highlight practical impacts immediately.

Browse articles, read smart summaries, and use the timelines to connect the dots. If something confuses you, a short comment or question often tells us where we need a clearer explainer next.
