All-party meeting decides to send delegation to J&K The all-party meeting on Jammu and Kashmir on Wednesday decided to send a delegation of political leaders to the State to assess the ground situation but failed to arrive at a consensus on the issue of withdrawal or dilution of the...

If you are trying to imply that its in the Hindu culture (or Hindu teachings) that have created such distinctions in society, then you are flawed. People over-time out of their own feelings, and without paying heed to logics, have evolved these concepts. It has nothing to do with being a Hindu...

@Santro Your observations are not entirely incorrect, but a sweeping generalization is. Besides, untouchability and all is a wretched thing now. People, especially literate ones, have risen above that. P.S. Do not mind the comments of some members here, at least I know that you are a sensible...

You should be aware that a legal framework in complete agreements of the concerned parties were never reached (Read more here). And ideology was the grand basis of partition, the only one actually. The ML chose both the ideology for division and also the regions. "Muhammad Ali Jinnah...

You should know what happened to Omar Abdullah when he went to express his grief in a hospital. Ministers cannot just storm into their place, unless they express their desire to come to the table. Gestures, of the kind you suggest, are no longer adequate, in fact they never were. For the...

Is it always coincidence that you fail to notice what you should notice? The right to self-determination is not an option on the table. The segregation of Kashmir from India is unacceptable and unjust. Unacceptable officially, and unjust because it is a flawed vision and divisive for humanity...

I am posting here again, what I posted back a few pages back, concerning your case of Junagadh, and why India cannot be termed occupier.

How do you think the government could be flexible? It has already expressed, many times, the desire to talk to all parties concerned. But the separatists are steadfast with only one purpose. And we all know that that purpose's nature is political at the helm and emotional at the bottom. So...

How can any solution be achieved without an environment for dialog? The separatists are not ready for any settlement except independence, and that you know is neither feasible nor acceptable. The grounds of their demand is both unjust (based solely on religion) and also not pragmatic. But if...

I do not want to derail the thread either, but just a reference would be helpful.

Yes, we do. And that is why the government continuously urge them not to indulge in violent protests and take law into their hands, but instead come to the table to talk. The ball has always been in their court.

That is not a good idea. I would not advocate to force them to learn Chinese. But if learning Chinese is the way forward for progress in China, then they should be lured into positive and progressive situations, so they are "motivated" to learn Chinese, and not forced. But, most importantly...

Besides give them a sense that their rights and beliefs will be protected in China and they will be equal partners in its progress. Then I do not see any reason for rise in separatist sentiments.

Hmm...think of all those romantic nights. (Just teasing) Wish you all the best and all the happiness.

Before you accuse India of double standards, please be informed of the pretexts of these events. Read this(from Wikipedia): Now if you think we should put the same logic to Kashmir, then FYI we did, and agreed to a plebiscite. But it never happened due to mis-adventures of Pakistan. Pakistan...

I think it you who need to think. Think that these things do not happen un-provocatively. Think about violent protests, not jut a day of protest, months of on going violent protests. I am never emotional. So perhaps you need to figure when a person is under emotions and when under logics.

Apparently I do, because that makes the foundations of the society more pious and worthy of living. Besides, the length of history is not known to anyone, and anyone who claims such is a beguiler.

Which people? The ones who do not know how to live like a human, in co-existence? I would not care for such narrow-mindedness. Whatever is your definition of freedom, it is flawed. And hence you have problems correlating the stance of Indians. Of course, they can do what they do with...

Because there is nothing further back to Hinduism. Or if not go back at all, then the present is India, isn't it? Then what is the ground for demand for separation?
