India is a veritable #TowerofBabel, with more than two dozen official languages and hundreds of dialects.
This has caused lots of tension because everyone wants to preserve their culture. There's also the feeling that there should be some link language to connect the whole.

For a long time, #English was the link language, but self-styled nationalists, especially from the ruling #BJP, felt this was a betrayal of "Indian" values.
So they kept pushing for the use of #Hindi as the #NationalLanguage.

But Hindi is not even spoken by a majority (>50%) of Indians. It is merely spoken by the most Indians.
So people of other ethnicities worry that under Hindi domination, their languages would disappear.
A three-language formula was suggested as far back as the 1960s.

Section 60 of J&K reorganisation act clearly provides the criteria for #Delimitation of constituencies in J&k. It includes Population, area, geographical compactness , boundaries of administrative units and MOST IMPORTANT CONVENIENCE OF PEOPLE.

@narendramodi @AmitShah
No delimitation has been conducted in J&K on these criterias . Infact kashmiri politicians promoted narrative that population is the sole criteria to justify their unjust and arbitrary working.
If population is the sole criteria then Lakshdweep with population of 60 thousands can never be a Lok Sabha constituency.
When things are still unfolding, we can only be hopeful and positive and unitedly articulate what we want and aspire for #Jammu @HMOIndia @narendramodi
Level the playing field and empower Jammu by giving it equal if not more seats, for a fair representation in the Legislative Assembly. #Delimitation
Recognition to Dogri and making it part of the school curriculum in #Jammu
