Now that the Article 370 has been made toothless, and all states and UTs are at par, here's an idea I have:
- Start an annual process of 'twinning' states. There's already this concept of twinning cities across the world, but they are meaningless
- In our case, twinning will have meaning. For example:
- Tourists between the two states will enjoy benefits (discounts, vouchers, etc)
- Employers taking in associates from the twin state will be incentivized
- Setting up businesses in each other's state will be incentivized
- Tax breaks for doing business with each other
- Any other that you can think of
- Each year, say on Independence Day, lots are drawn and states/UTs are twinned. So this year J&K is twinned with TN this year and Mizoram the next, for example
- One way to revive the notion of national integration
Makes sense?
