Once upon a time there were two cities.One known for its intellectual richness and resourcefulness while the other for its passion for religion.Ironically they both took birth on a single day and had a lot in common.Through the ages they both maintained very strong armies much above their capability taxing their people passionately fighting eachother.
You would have understood by now that I m talking about New Delhi and Islamabad. Both of whom is rated among top ten of world armies.Their fights which dates back to 1947 were all for the paradise on earth called Kashmir.Pakistan still regards Kashmir as their territory but the when given the choice Kashmir wanted to join India after formation of India & Pakistan.(Not to forget even Pakistan people voted for Frontier Gandhi.I m talking about the elections when Khan Abdul Gafar Khan's party swept the polls in Pakistan and reduced Jinnah's Muslim league to a miniscule)But lets forget the past as we all know its no longer the people's voice is heard out even in a democracy.............Its loudest voice.Even if shout the lie its believed but do shout it.I don't believe the Kasmiri view is in anyway represented by hurriyat either in Kashmir or in POK because I sincerely believe nobody would like to have bombs blow and guns fire in their backyard.They all want peace and would love to live in harmony with their relatives in POK.Indian govt has taken a huge step in this issue by being very patient.Inspite of frequent terrorist attacks whose leads were tracked to ISI( Delhi bomb blasts) we have shown unbelievable patience in going on with cease fire.We tried our best to help in their dark times of quake but was kicked on face.Although Paks responded well initially to our peace reforms they are still trying to break the pace.I can understand an elected representative trying to make thing sluggish(as he has got an election over the corner every now and then) but a dictator..................That's something difficult to deduce.

I strongly disagree.
i)Kashmir doesnt belong to the Indian republic. Demographic proportions, the culture, the geographic isolation - we cannot overlook the fact that the state is vastly different from the rest of the nation. Even the Indian Constitution acknowledges its special status.
ii) The decision of Kashmir to accede to the Indian Union in 1947 was not made within a democratic machinery. It was purely based on a statement of accession signed by the then puppet Hindu ruler, Hari Singh who was strongly influenced by Lord Mountbatten.
iii) The Indian Army has contributed equally to the rot as the Mujahidins. Militarisation cannot yield peace.
iv) India has always responded negatively to calls from the international community to decide the issue of autonomy through a democratic vote.
It is time we looked beyond myopic workarounds like ceasefire. Really.
Great There is atleast 1 who have read about Kasmir's history and Mountbatten but still I dont think Kashmiris would like to be part of Pakistan and allowing Kashmir to be an independent nation is not feasible.You talked about culture can you say that all remaining India has a similar culture.I guess not we have a very vast array of them and about Indian constitution's acknowledgement about land ownerships and travel rights is only due to the confusion existing there still.
And I never told militarisation is the solution but we are forced to do it.
And I honestly dont belive Mujahidins are out to bring harmony to Kashmir.
Thanks buddy
i throw my weight behind dasan.
Only one small point to add. Hari Singh did not acceede unconditionally to India. Even under pressere from the invading pathans, mountbatten could persuade Hari Singh only with the assurance of a plebiscite after the rioters are driven back. Neither were the rioters driven back, nor will a plebiscite ever be held.
I personally believe the chenab formula might be as close as a solution we could get to that would stand up on the ground now...
