OK. This urban-rural divide is something I was completely unaware of. Could you furnish some links that can back it up? No offense meant.
See we have to realise that it was a supremely over confident Centre that rigged the state elections and forcibly tried to suck in Kashmir. They have been cheesed off ever since. In the initial stage of the conflict there was support for jihadis among the local populace, now that is ebbing. Now terrorism primarily survives through fear. Not accomodating a terrorist will kill you, not accomodating the forces will get you a wrap on the knuckles kind of thing. People must be tired of the cycle of violence.
If IA withdraws then we loose the plot obviously. I am just saying they should not be intrusive and so conspicuous. They have to be almost invisible. Pakistan already has launchpads as far south as Kerala, has linked up with Naxals, our dissenting folks in the NE. SO that way they are very smart. Again by militarising Kashmir you only end up alienating Kashmiris. The fact that they are a response to wide spread violence, does not occur to people who are man handled by state agents on a day to day basis and hence accumulate bad karma!
If you see the number of incursions is very very less from the LoC yet there are attacks in Srinagar. I doubt if a vast majority are still coming in cross the LoC what with all the sensors along the fence.
