Autonomy is the greatest desire of a creative and constructive mind.
It is the condition of being free to think, decide and act. If autonomy is for the people of Kashmir, it would mean empowerment of the people. Unfortunately, the legislators who were so vociferous in demanding autonomy did not express any desire to strengthen panchayati raj institutions in the state. People of Kashmir are frustrated not because the state does not have autonomy, but because there is a political and administrative collapse characterised by joblessness, poverty and bureaucratic callousness. It requires no autonomy to restore rule of law or to break the nexus between the politician, bureaucracy and the criminals, or to hold free and fair elections.
