Highlights
- Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is focusing on his 2019 re-election campaign, in which he will emphasize security over dialogue in his approach to the conflict in Jammu and Kashmir.
- This means there will probably be an increase in violence between the insurgency and the Indian Armed Forces in the Kashmir Valley.
- The relationship between nuclear archrivals India and Pakistan will thus remain tense and unmoving until at least after the May 2019 Indian elections.
