India's decision to repeal Article 370 of the constitution, which gives Jammu and Kashmir autonomy, makes it an occupying power of the Muslim-majority region and resembles the Israeli occupation's approach to Palestine, according to an article in Middle East Eye.

Despite judicial rulings
The Indian government is determined to press ahead with the repeal of Article 370 of the Constitution, despite multiple court rulings by the Supreme Court of Jammu and Kashmir and the Supreme Court of Delhi to prevent its abolition.

Features of the Israeli occupation

Hindu settlement
