Summary: Pakistan in the aftermath of Article 370 has initiated a five-point downgrade in its relations with India, but the honest truth is, this diplomatic downgrade means nothing. Relations were at an all-time low. Trade suspension is useless. There is negligible trade. Going to UNSC - sure. Been there done that. Pakistan's Kashmir protests have fallen on deaf ears. Most countries have either not responded or called it India's internal matter. As for observing August 15 as a black day, purely symbolic. The announcements don't affect India's life. Pak government and military had to appear to be doing something after India sprung a surprise on them, and they have done exactly that. A detailed discussion on why India must simply ignore this empty threat up ahead.
