Jammu, with its distinct Dogra culture, language, and traditions, has often felt overshadowed by the Kashmir-centric policies of the erstwhile state.
By achieving separate statehood, Jammu could gain greater political representation, with governance focused on its specific challenges and priorities, ensuring that the voices of its people are heard and their needs addressed.
