August 5.
On this day last year, the Narendra Damodardas Modi abrogated Article 370 of the Constitution and reduced Jammu and Kashmir from a state to a Union Territory.
On this day this year, Modi attended the bhoomi puja for the Ram temple in Ayodhya, laying the foundation for, what commentators argue, is a Hindu Rashtra.
