Scrapping of Article 370 by the Centre evoked a range of responses in Tamil Nadu from ordinary people, hovering between outright condemnation and adulation alongside hopes for a better future for the populace of Jammu and Kashmir.

People in different professions and belonging to diverse socio-economic groups with whom PTI spoke brought out new perspectives, which may help understand what the ordinary people in Tamil Nadu felt about the Centre's move.

B Abdul Rahman, working for a private firm said the move was "without any doubt anti-democratic."
"Since Jammu and Kashmir is very much part of our country, why should there be a separate privilege and law for them? Lets all follow one law."
