Internet on Independence Day (1995)

Another terror strike and a muscular response (2019)
The attack on a CRPF convoy in Pulwama by a local member of a Pakistan-based terror group, Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) once again highlighted the role of India’s neighbour in fomenting trouble in Kashmir, but it was followed by a daring airstrike by Indian fighter jets at a Jaish training camp in Balakot, with an unspecified number of casualties, indicating India’s new position of responding to terror strikes with “surgical strikes” of its own, taking out terror pods across the life of control or even the international border in Pakistani territory. Pulwana outraged the nation, even as Balakot energized it, with a pilot who shot down a Pakistani F-16, but then crashed in Paksitani territory (he was captured but then released), Ahinandan Varthaman becoming a national hero.
Jammu & Kashmir is completely integrated with India (2019)
The abrogation of Article 370, which gives autonomy in certain areas to the Jammu & Kashmir government, and special rights to its citizens has always been on the agenda of the Bharatiya Janata Party, and in 2019, fresh from a big victory in the Lok Sabha elections, the party decided to go ahead with it, citing uniformity, development, and national security as the rationale. The erstwhile state was also reorganized into two Union Territories, although Jammu & Kashmir has been promised that its statehood will be restored after a delimitation exercise and elections (Ladakh will remain a union territory). While the matter has been challenged before the Supreme Court, it is yet to be heard, and given that three years have passed it is unlikely that the clock can be moved back.
The Ram temple becomes a reality (2019)
A decades-long legal battle involving the Ramjanmabhoomi and Babri Masjid came to an end on November 9, 2019, with the Supreme Court ruling in favour of the Hindu parties to the case, and ordering the creation of the temple trust to build the temple. The court also ruled that the demolition of the Babri Masjid in 1992 was in violation of the law and ordered that an alternative 5-acre plot of land be handed over to the UP Sunni Central Waqf Board, one of the Muslim parties fighting the case, to build a mosque. In 2020, a special CBI court acquitted all the accused in the Babri demolition case citing that the evidence was inconclusive. Work on the temple is proceeding apace and the structure is expected to be ready by 2024.
