Amarnath agitation in J & K

What is happening in J & K today fortunately did not happen in 1989 otherwise Kashmir might have gone out of India's control much more than what it is today.
Is it due to the pent up anger of people of Jammu regarding whatever has been happening there for so long? 100 acres of land available for providing facilities for pilgrims is if you see not a big deal and probably an extension of spirit of bonhomie between the communities of Kashmir which has been making the pilgrimage possible for so many years.
One radical voice opposing the land transfer and Ghulam Nabi Azad and Congress ran for cover. No surprise that they are unable to fight terrorism.
On the other hand there is the RamSetu controversy where there are numerous facts defying government's claims of this being a worthy project but still the government is refusing to accept and is getting confused over affidavits and versions of Ramayana and history.
Wonder why the government did not show this kind of a conviction in the Amarnath land row.
On the other hand, wonder why the government did not show the "flexibility" in Ransetu project.

Obvious answers???

Even i am confused here because i know as much as media is telling me. However as a fact GOI has been funding Haj for so long that Amarnath land should not be a big thing for anybody. I really think the violence has been politically instigated. If i am poor and caught in a riot my first concern will be where to take my family rather than throwing stones at Police. But one fact is there, we had no contribution to terror , it was all imported but now we have home grown elements and this is adding to the fire
