India's prime minister, Narendra Modi, rode a wave of Hindu nationalism to a historic re-election in 2019.  His first order of business was to revoke the special status granted to the Kashmir region, inflaming the rivalry between India and Pakistan.  How will the Kashmir situation affect the region, both economically and politically?
