If I were able to form an ideal political party that would compete in federal, state, and local elections these would be our ideology, principles, and goals.Core Principles and IdeologyThe role of the federal government must be restricted to the powers enumerated to it in the U.S. Constitution. The role of that government is largely restricted to matters of war, national security, diplomacy, coining money, and ensuring that the people’s natural rights aren't being infringed upon by overzealous state and local governments. The federal government of this country does not have the constitutional authority to constantly interfere in the free market and several sectors of the economy in order to achieve political goals.Our goal is to reduce the size and scope of the federal government to its proper constitutional role and allow the states and localities to implement policies and public services which their constituents desire while raising and expending revenues at that level of government. As long as said programs and public services are in compliance with the U.S. Constitution and taking note of the supremacy clause, the states are free to implement whatever programs that a majority of their citizen-voter-taxpayers wish for.We strive to make government limited, constitutionally compliant, fiscally responsible, and restricted to its proper role. We wish to fight the scourge of statism and top down rule from Washington. We are American constitutionalists and ardent believers in the vision of our prescient Founding Fathers.GoalsMake the U.S. economy competitive again by making our markets freer and implementing policies that are likely to increase long run GDP growth.Eliminate the corporate income tax. It is ridiculous that the same corporate profits are taxed twice via federal corporate income taxes and capital gains taxes.Eliminate the estate tax because it is unconstitutional, collects almost no revenue, and exists only to appease to the statist left.Eliminate all taxes on income and transition to a system of national consumption taxes with a goal of reducing federal revenues and spending to 10% of GNI over 15 years. This will achieve several goals. It will eliminate the income tax and reduce the disincentives to save and invest, it will broaden the tax base, and the system will be much fairer, and no one will ever again have to file an income tax return.Over the long-run, the goal will be to finally transition to a system where federal revenues are collected by taxing the income of state governments. Therefore, the federal government no longer holds the power to directly tax the citizenry and will have a lesser ability to coerce and manipulate the public.Implement an entitlement reform program that will phase out Social Security and Medicare over 15–20 years. The goal will be to gradually increase the level of privatization over time and transition to a system funded by private savings rather than our current unsustainable pay as you go method.Repeal the Affordable Care Act immediately and phase out Medicaid over 10 years.Repeal the vast majority of regulations on health insurance markets and the delivery of healthcare services. Phase out the third-party payer system posthaste and move towards a system where people actually know what they are paying for and why. Our healthcare markets are so confusing and opaque because we are in a system of massive cross-subsidization.Reduce the burden of federal regulation from the current 10% of GDP to less than 2% of GDP.Eliminate the practice of Civil Asset Forfeiture and strengthen private property rights across the nation.Reform the federal government by downsizing it to its proper constitutional role and getting the fiscal situation under control.Immediately eliminate several federal agencies and departments including the EPA, Department of Education, Department of Commerce, Department of Energy, BATFE, and the IRS.Reduce the federal workforce by 25% as soon as possible.Trim the salaries of all federal workers and transition benefits to a system of privately funded accounts rather than their current lavish system of federal pensions and healthcare benefits.Slash federal spending by 5% per year until government spending is 10% of GNI and after entitlement reform is fulfilled, bring it down to 5% of GNI.Eliminate the federal welfare budget over 10 years.End all non-defense subsidies and grants to private corporations, state governments, and local governments.After much of the prior reform proposals come to fruition, seek to repeal the 16th and 17th Amendments.After the fiscal situation is under control, eliminate the Federal Reserve and transfer US dollar responsibilities to the Treasury Department.National Security and Foreign AffairsReduce the size of the Pentagon Civilian workforce, reform procurement processes, and take a hammer to the DoD bureaucracy.Increase the size of the Army.Increase the size of the Navy with regards to ships, aircraft, and personnel.Increase the size of the Air Force and restart F-22 production.Invest in antiballistic missile defense, space based systems, ASAT weaponry, and other technologies that will allow the U.S. Armed Forces to successfully and credibly defend the homeland and our national interests and client-states.Build a border barrier at the Southern border and expand Border Patrol to man tower checkpoints at high traffic areas.Consolidate national intelligence functions.Reduce foreign aid.ImmigrationFreeze all existing asylum and refugee applications.Reform the system to reduce the number of applications accepted and eliminate loopholes that allow economic migrants to claim asylum.Limit chain migration and transition towards a balanced immigration policy that is split between highly skilled workers, temporary workers, entrepreneurs, investors, and family members.Immediately deport all illegal aliens who have committed serious crimes and those who are scheduled for removal.Consider a bill that would allow illegal aliens who have committed only a civil offense to stay in the U.S. under a work visa system that can renewed in perpetuity provided they meet certain conditions. Former illegal aliens will never be eligible for Permanent Residency nor American citizenship. However, they can remain guest workers forever if they meet the conditions and choose to stay here.Reaffirm the Bill of RightsEliminate all federal laws and regulations that violate our sacred natural rights (e.g. all federal gun control).Utilize the Justice Department to sue states and localities that violate the Bill of Rights.Repeal unconstitutional laws and regulations that infringe upon personal libertyDecriminalize all recreational drugs including marijuana, cocaine, and heroin.Amend 1960s era Civil Rights legislation that unconstitutionally violates people’s right to freedom of association.Privatize marriage contracts and take marriage out of the realm of government control.SuffrageSeek a constitutional amendment that would disallow people from participating in federal elections unless they pass a constitution and civics exam and hold a certain amount of property. That property requirement would accept any kind of property such as a home, land, securities, etc.The reason for this amendment is because millions of people without skin in the economic game have been using their votes as a weapon to use government force to steal from those who have more.While this list isn't exhaustive, it is a general framework for the party I would attempt to build. The party would seek to downsize how large and intrusive government in America has become over the last century. Private institutions, civil society organizations, and free citizens of the republic would rise and government would retreat. The party would seek to move back towards constitutional republicanism and away from the popular democracy movements of the early 20th century.Our party would be named The Constitution and Liberty Party or CLP for short.Our party slogan would be, “Liberty, prosperity, and peace in the republic. Power and overwhelming strength abroad”.Our party logo would be an American Eagle to symbolize power, prestige, and national unity.

UAE has a unique governance system.It is not a republic but has a President. It is an absolute monarchy with a written constitution and statute laws all codified, but not a constitutional monarchy. It has a full-fledged legislature with public elections, but not a parliamentary democracy.UAE is actually a federation of 7 monarchical states, thus forming a unique concept called Federal monarchy. Currently, only UAE and Malaysia has this system. In Malaysia, the post of the supreme monarch of the federation is rotated between all the constituent monarchs of the federation, whereas in UAE its fixed forever, thus the Supreme head of the federation is not known as King, rather President of the Supreme Council, which is held by Ruler of Abu Dhabi.UAE has 7 emirates Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah and Fujairah. These 7 emirates are ruled by EMIRs or Rulers. Its absolute monarchy system within each emirate with Rulers having their own court.The biggest Emirate is Abu Dhabi, whose Emir has the right of being the President of the Council and the country foreverThe second biggest is Dubai, whose Emir has the right of being the Prime Minister of the country and Vice President of the council forever.’Other 5 Emirs are members of Supreme councilThese two emirates have Veto power in the Supreme council, so literally they have huge voice.UAE Governance works like US or Germany. It has a Federal Govt based in Abu Dhabi and Emirate Govts are Emirates level apart from Municipal councils at local level. Emirate governments are very much old fashioned monarchial courts where there are no local ministers, rather all advisers and bureaucrats to the Ruler as the Emirs have absolute power of governance. Municipal councils are fully bureaucratic organization.Federal Govt, on the other hand, is much more professional with ministries and ministers. These ministers together form the UAE Cabinet or Council of Ministers which is chaired by Prime Minister, ie Ruler of Dubai. Ministers are fully nominated by members of Supreme council, ie 7 emirs.Now at Federal, UAE has only 4 departments/portfolios exclusive to Federal Govt. They are Defence, Foreign Affairs, National Communications and National Economy (read currency management, national monetary and fiscal policy etc)Rest all other portfolios are under Concurrent list, ie Emirates and Federal Govt have equal rights. Some portfolios are primarily under Federal Govt, but Emirates decide things locally. For example, Aviation is under Concurrent list which has a federal department- GCAA which do work independently for each emirate, not commonly for the nation. That's why when UAE enters into bilateral air rights treaty, its negotiate independently for each emirate unlike for the whole country as a whole.However UAE shares many similar traits of a Republic too.For example, it has a National Legislature - the Federal National Council which has 50% elected MPs. These MPs are elected thro’ an electoral college for which elections are held. The FNC, however, is not a parliament as they cannot make laws, rather they draft laws and pass resolutions for Cabinet to consider and make laws. But it does have powers to review a cabinet law and suggest any changes if required. It is a consultative council.UAE Federal National Council- the National LegislatureAnother trait of the Republic is that it has absolutely independent Judiciary. UAE Federal Judiciary is not part of the government, rather fully independent though appointed by the Supreme Council. The reason why its independent is because, once judges are appointed, they cannot be removed or impeached unless committing any offence violation of the constitution.UAE’s Federal Supreme CourtFederal Judges with UAE Prime Minister during the Judicial Oath taking ceremonyBecause of its independent status, UAE Federal judiciary is very professional and much similar to any Republican countries, not a kangaroo court seen in some absolute monarchy countries. UAE Judiciary relies heavily on written statute books as the Constitution and other laws passed. And unique to UAE, they use statute laws of UK, France, Egypt, India, US, Australia as a reference in the event if UAE laws do not cover specific areas. Due to this reason, lawyers from other countries are also enrolled in UAE legal services to guide and help the court in understanding the legal jurisprudence of other countries. And like any Islamic countries, they also consider Shariat laws as a reference point, though criminal laws aren’t based on Shariat, rather codified penal code valid for all. Whereas Shariat laws are mostly applied in civil cases and specific to Muslims in Personal law cases.But it equally shares some traits of the absolute monarchy at lower courts as UAE Legal system is divided between the Federal and Emirates Court system. While Federal courts and its subsidiaries are fully based on constitutional provisions, lower courts are appointed by Emirs, thus relies mostly on Royal Court rulings, rather than codified lawsUAE is not a republic. Its is a Federal Monarchial state with a written constitution. It works in both Republican and Absolute Monarchial fashion in many ways.

Article 370 of the Indian constitution gives a very unique status to J&K.It cites as following370. Temporary provisions with respect to the State of Jammu and Kashmir(1) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Constitution,—(a) the provisions of article 238 shall not apply now in relation to the state of Jammu and Kashmir;(b) the power of Parliament to make laws for the said state shall be limited to—(i) those matters in the Union List and the Concurrent List which, in consultation with the Government of the State, are declared by the President to correspond to matters specified in the Instrument of Accession governing the accession of the State to the Dominion of India as the matters with respect to which the Dominion Legislature may make laws for that State; and(ii) such other matters in the said Lists as, with the concurrence of the Government of the State, the President may by order specify.Explanation: For the purpose of this article, the Government of the State means the person for the time being recognized by the President on the recommendation of the Legislative Assembly of the State as the Sadr-i-Riyasat (now Governor) of Jammu and Kashmir, acting on the advice of the Council of Ministers of the State for the time being in office.(c) the provisions of article 1 and of this article shall apply in relation to that State;(d) such of the other provisions of this Constitution shall apply in relation to that State subject to such exceptions and modifications as the President may by order specify:Provided that no such order which relates to the matters specified in the Instrument of Accession of the State referred to in paragraph (i) of sub-clause (b) shall be issued except in consultation with the Government of the State:Provided further that no such order which relates to matters other than those referred to in the last preceding proviso shall be issued except with the concurrence of that Government.(2) If the concurrence of the Government of the State referred to in paragraph (ii) of sub-clause (b) of clause (1) or in the second provision to sub-clause (d) of that clause be given before the Constituent Assembly for the purpose of framing the Constitution of the State is convened, it shall be placed before such Assembly for such decision as it may take thereon.(3) Notwithstanding anything in the foregoing provisions of this article, the President may, by public notification, declare that this article shall cease to be operative or shall be operative only with such exceptions and modifications and from such date as he may specify:Provided that the recommendation of the Constituent Assembly of the State referred to in clause (2) shall be necessary before the President issues such a notification.Article 370 in The Constitution Of India 1949In short, it meansIt exempted the State from the complete applicability of the Constitution of India. The State was allowed to have its own Constitution.Central legislative powers over the State were limited, at the time of the framing, to the three subjects of defense, foreign affairs, and communications.Other constitutional powers of the Central Government could be extended to the State only with the concurrence of the State Government.The 'concurrence' was only provisional. It had to be ratified by the State's Constituent Assembly.The State Government's authority to give 'concurrence' lasted only until the State Constituent Assembly was convened. Once the State Constituent Assembly finalized the scheme of powers and dispersed, no further extension of powers was possible.Article 370 could be abrogated or amended only upon the recommendation of the State's Constituent Assembly.This advantage which J&K has resulted in having its own constitution and exclusion of many provisions of the power of Central Govt in J&K.Over a period of time, Central Govt managed to get some extra powers GRANTED by J&K, still, the majority doesn’t exist.For example, 96 subjects which Central Govt can make laws exclusively, only 94 subjects is allowedThe concurrent list where both Central and State can make laws has been curtailed that only 26 subjects out of 47 are allowed with NO SUPREMACY of Indian Parliament over the subject (in event of a conflict of laws) as J&K has a residual power to modify so.This means, CBI or any central agencies cannot intervene in J&K, so as the majority of Indian common laws on properties, contracts, agriculture, business, industries etc has no effect on J&K.At the same time, the following National Laws are applied in J&KAll India Services ActNegotiable Instruments ActBorder Security Force ActCentral Vigilance Commission ActEssential Commodities ActHaj Committee ActIncome Tax ActThe Central Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017Integrated Goods and Services Tax Act, 2017The Central Laws (Extension To Jammu And Kashmir) Act, 1956National Human Rights Commission Act, 1993All citizens of J&K have dual citizenship- Indian citizenship as well as Kashmiri citizenship.The duality of citizenship/sovereignty could be better understood as J&K remains the only state in India with its own constitution and its own state flagIndian Citizens cannot own land in J&K, they cannot marry J&K Citizens, right of employment in Kashmiri govt services or any aid of Kashmiri govt(out of Kashmiri law in accordance to Art 35A)In my opinion, this Article MUST NOT BE REMOVED, rather BE EXTENDED ACROSS INDIA and applied over all Indian states.I know it might to bit hard for many to accept or even understand why I say so. But I suggest to read my views patiently and try to understand my perspective without prejudice.Currently, it's mostly BJP/Rightwing parties who demand this provision of the constitution be abrogated/abolished. The core point of their demand is that J&K is gaining something unique which no other state gets, which creates an inequality.I fully concur with that. J&K enjoys a set of privileges which other Indian states don’t. So why not let all states enjoy the same privileges?In short, the relationship between J&K and the Indian Union is purely FEDERAL in nature. Union of India controls very few areas like Defence, Communication, Foreign Affairs and a bit of Inter-state economy. Rest everything is under J&K control.Isn’t it the same relationship which any AMERICAN STATE has with FEDERAL GOVERNMENT in Washington?The USA is a good example of Federal Democracy. While we see US President and his cabinet along with National legislature- Congress and Senate holding much of power of the nation, in reality, more than 60% of US governance powers rests with States. While the Federal govt holds the most powerful portfolios like Defence, Foreign Affairs, Monetary policy etc, much of business, residential, societal, family laws and governance rests with the state with very limited interference of the National government.Infact each state has its own civil/criminal laws, its own concept of governance, its own concept development, taxation etc.Isn’t it a right model for a truly multi-cultural, multi-racial, multi-ethnic nation like India, US etc?Ofcourse I know that in the US over a period of time, the Federal government gained more power contrary to the original vision of equal power status. But there are many better examples of true federalism like that of Germany where states have huge power to decide many things. The Federal Govt of Germany in Berlin just controls only defense, foreign affairs, immigration, transportation, communications, and currency. Much like us, Germans do have a concurrent list, but again states have a residual power to accept or reject or modify federal legislation much like how J&K does so. The concept of state sovereignty is much higher in German culture (Why so- because they have suffered the horrors of Political Nationalism and centralized rule much more than anyone else in the world).The problem with India is that too much power concentrated in Delhi.Infact, Delhi often pokes its noses even in matters related a Panchayat (village). If we look, the biggest problem that arises out of this model is that ONE SHOE FITS ALL policy. Policies are made by bureaucrats and politicians sitting in Delhi whose majority sensibilities are related to areas close to Delhi. And this policy is asked to be followed across India which many becomes irrelevant in many states. The level of irrelevance increases as one moves farther away from Delhi.So what happens? States are forced to take a policy- CUT THE FOOT TO THE SIZE OF SHOE. Well, that is painful and serves none.Just a simple exampleIndia government has rolled out a policy called BETI PADHAO BETI BACHAO scheme. This is very much relevant in North India, not so in South India and North East India. So in one year, Govt has earmarked approx Rs 1130 Crore, out of which 80% went to North/West India as they require social action. Take Kerala. We have nothing to gain from this program as its absolutely irrelevant in a state where Girls are more preferred by families and girls gain very high education. So we almost received nothing from the scheme and listed only under Media advocacy area, ie media promotion. So the entire benefit of this scheme to a state like Kerala or TN was like thisIts common see posters and ads behind buses in Kerala and TN like the above which serves NO MEANING in these states which have the highest level of female empowerment and social participation. So as the entire scheme translates into mere Propaganda and wastage of taxpayer’s money for no use.http://www.wcd.nic.in/sites/default/files/BBBP%20Guideline.pdfAbsolutely irrelevant and absolutely stupid for us. Whereas both Kerala and TN have another set of problem, say larger Aging population and less number of youngsters. This is not at all a problem at the NATIONAL LEVEL, so we are left with no money to address this social issue.https://frontline.thehindu.com/static/html/fl2916/stories/20120824291612300.htmGreying Tamil Nadu has second highest senior citizens: ReportAging in Kerala: one more population problem?So each state of India has its own problems and its own unique peculiarities, be its unique culture, unique traditions, unique social lifestyle etc which cannot be addressed commonly.What's the point in having few Bureaucrats sitting in Delhi to monitor the number of EGGS served in Anganawadi children or toilets to be built at homes of individuals. If we look, the current Central Govt in Delhi often highlights TOILETS at home as its national achievement. Isn’t it a rightful example of misplaced priorities?When Bureaucrats in Washington worry on issues in Syria or trade war between China, some of our excellent bureaucrats and union ministers are working on the number of toilets and closets built at someone’s house. Isn’t this matter related to Panchayat or Municipality Governance? Why are we paying crores as municipal/panchayat taxes when their areas of governance are decided by Delhi? Isn’t it a matter a shame when PM of the world’s largest democracy has his priority for toilets and even call for toilet tourism?I am not blaming this government alone. This government is doing the same mistakes what their previous predecessors did. The erstwhile planning commission of India and its then-the Vice Chairman- Montek Singh Ahluwalia during MMS was talking why should not my state Kerala produce rice as if no one in Kerala has brains.The key problem why the Govt of India is forced to poke its noses into smaller topics from toilets to PDS lies on one key fact- LACK OF DECENTRALIZATION. Our governments, be it Central Govt, be it State governments, never trusted the hierarchies below the line and they never prefer to give up some of the authority to lower levels who manages the local population. This has lead to centralization of ideas and failure of the majority of Local government bodies as they neither have clear sources of resources nor any responsibility with authority.The level of interferences of Govt of India into states has considerably gone higher that we almost live in a unitary state. Most of the State Governments have no much authority due to massive erosion of power in name of national integration.Just simple example, states like Kerala and Goa depends on tourism as a key revenue earner. But with GST, we have lost power on taxation, which means we no more can provide tax waivers or lower tax on hotels or convention centers for MICE Tourism. We need to beg with other ministers and states to get some relief and this is not a priority for themMICE events shifting to Thailand, Sri Lanka due to 28 per cent GST hike on Indian hotelsHigh GST Rates, Poor Planning, Expensive Tarrifs Affects Goa's TourismMICE crisis hits the hospitality sector after GST implementation in July - Times of IndiaOn contrary, as Air Turbine fuel was and still remains under State VAT, in 2014 Telegna government announced lowering ATF to 1%. The sheer advantage was, within 4 to 5 years, Hyderabad became a major hub for most of the Domestic airlines as airlines enjoy a special benefit in AP which they won’t enjoy in TN or Karnataka. This flexibility of policymaking will be lost once ATF/Petroleum comes under GST.So as time passes, states are losing much of its powers and increasing centralization of resources. This means many states loses their competitive edge.This definitely will not help India in the long run as people do find many things against their social system.So as many North Indian states became BIMARU out of Freight equalisation policy again set by Delhi in 1950s. Remember, Bihar was once the face of Industrial India, lost the race completely due to a policy set by Non-Biharis.So ideally in long run, it's paramount to make India into a FEDERAL REPUBLIC STATES OF INDIA where Central Govt have very limited, but most powerful areas of governance while states manage the majority of other areas of governance. There is no need of Government of India to Micro-manage Indian states as we have almost reached 70 years after Independence and there is no need for policies or concept as devised in 1950s (where there was a fear of disintegration of the nation due to huge size and diversity )I believe, the role of Govt of India should be more at the international level with a very strong Foreign Affairs Ministry, a powerful Defence ministry and certain national level interest areas like Inter-state infrastructure such as National Highways, Aviation (airspace, safety etc), Shipping etc, National level Communications like Internet, Telecom etc and general Inter-state economic relationships thro’ National Economy Ministry.There is no point for the Govt of India to run departments/ministries for Textiles, HRD, Schools, Colleges, commerce, trade, industries, power etc or even departments like Sanitation, Healthcare etc… These all must fully under the state and let states manage it.We must realize under British India, almost 90% of portfolios were under Local Kingdoms and Provinces, not under Viceroy’s Executive Council or Imperial Legislature (today’s Parliament). We must remember, the majority of Indian states in India did manage its own railways in that period, say The Great Madras Railway Company managed by Madras State or Nizam’s Railways by Hyderabad state etc.So there was both IPC (Indian Penal Code) as well as TPC (Travancore Penal Code) in India at that time. My home state- Travancore objected the concept of Capital Punishment and cited it as an act against Humanity and abolished it, thus being one of the first places in the world to take an official ABOLITIONIST POLICY. We were forced to reinstate capital punishment after joining with Union of India in 1949.Why we don’t give back autonomy to rule the states back to the states?If a country like the US can exist with its citizens having dual citizenship (both national and state citizenship), what prevents that in India? After all, we all have different cultural identities and we vouch on that. I as a Malayalee can never be a Punjabi, so as Maharashtrian can’t ever be Assamese. So what's the point of keeping these identities unofficial and make a fake impression of ONLY INDIAN?Yes, these identities do exist in India even today, why can’t we make that OFFICIAL. That won’t make us less Indian.A Texan is never less American than a New Yorker, but both maintain their cultural and state identity equally with their American nationality.I know, that in North India, the concept of Sub-Nationalism is still a big taboo primarily due to the horrors of Partition, the Khalistan Movement etc. In the North, people associate their identity more with caste/religion etc rather statehood/culture etc. This is one reason they suspect every concept of sub-nationalism as some sort of secession movement or similar.Even Art 370 never caused any secession movement in Kashmir too as the militancy in that state is more associated with international geopolitics and human rights issues.Whereas down in the South, much in the West and more severe in the East, the ethnic identities, sub-nationalist ideals, and cultural distinction have its own meanings. That's why Marathis always cite- Jai Maharashtra which is always said before Jai Hind… So as Tamilians always highlight the importance of Tamil Motherland, the Kannadigas highlight their culture even with its own flag much recently. So as the troubles of ethnicity and regional identity played a key in North East Politics which include the ongoing agitation against Citizenship Bill.The Karnataka’s Flag politicsThe ongoing Maratha identity politics in the state of MaharashtraOngoing agitations against India’s Citizenship amendment which Mizos feel they will lose their state to an alien culture and even went ahead seeking secession from IndiaSo as its high time to throw away the obsolete idea of UNITARY NATION concept. We must remember, India is always a collection of Nations and cultures, not a single culture. Even when we were of multiple sovereign nations, our cultural identity remained as Indian. So there is nothing to fear to truly devolve authority down as we are highly matured. We the people of India out of our will formed the Republic of India in 1950. So still it's our choice even today.Ofcourse some elements of Art 370 and Art 35A has to be modified to suit more to a modern context. It makes no sense to make a marriage between two individuals illegal on grounds of citizenship. Still, it's upto each state to decide upon so. For example, some cultures are too endangered that endogamy may have to be protected, which requires such laws. The decision on such matters must vest with the community as such, not with outsiders. It makes no sense, someone from UP or Rajasthan decide how should Naga culture and its community codes be. So as vice-versa.Once ART 350 extended across India, all our states will become semi-autonomous much like how Indian Kingdoms existed within India. Let Govt of India be Paramount Power much like how Britishers remained, but states must have its own power and authority. Ofcourse the concept of visa/inline permit must not be there as citizens of India should have the right to travel anywhere in India.I believe once Art 370 extended across India, the issue of feeling J&K as enjoying something unique will disappear and fuel each state’s growth as sub-nationalism is likely to provoke a competitive spirit between states in a big way.
