The article explores the implications of Indian diplomat Sandeep Chakravorty's call in November 2019 to adopt an "Israeli model" for the administration of Jammu and Kashmir. This proclamation came during a time of significant military restrictions and communications blackouts in the region, following the Indian government's revocation of Kashmir's semi-autonomous status in August 2019. Chakravorty's remarks not only highlighted the situation of displaced Kashmiri Hindus but also pointed towards a broader strategy aimed at enforcing demographic changes in the territory similar to those employed by Israel in Palestine.

Additionally, the piece examines the context behind these policies, noting that they reflect a growing trend within the Modi administration to draw parallels between India's approach to Kashmir and Israel's methods for controlling territories and populations. The references to the Israeli model encapsulate the intentions of the Indian government to solidify its policies in the region while sidelining local governance and empowering a Hindu demographic framework at the expense of the existing Muslim majority. This strategy aligns with broader nationalistic sentiments that have taken root within Indian politics since Modi's rise to power.

The potential consequences of adopting such policies are analyzed in the article, particularly in terms of escalating tensions with Pakistan and exacerbating the already volatile situation in Kashmir. By modeling Indian policies after those of Israel, there is a fear that India could confront increasing resistance from the Kashmiri people, international criticism, and a further deepening of regional conflicts. The approach towards Kashmir, thus, not only impacts domestic affairs but also has significant international ramifications considering the sensitivity surrounding Kashmir's status.
