India blast kills 31, injures 100

Iraq is currently occupied by 100,000 US troops
Kashmir is currently occupied with 800,000 indian troops

Indian occupied kashmir is less than half the size of iraq


My 500K figure was p[roved baseless.

Can u prove these figures.
 
Good to see you again lemon.

u mean only the Kashmir issue will block the deal :)
Not the Kashmir issue but increase in Indo-Pak tensions, and the rise of brinkmanship.
Lemon what is the exact number of Indian troops in J&K ?
The troop levels vary between 120,000 - 150,000. If there is an election then there would be a rise in units for that period only.

Now if there was no insurgency in J&K the troop levels would be around the 80,000 - 90,000 figure.

The reason why you have an impression that there are 500,000 - 800,000 troops is because most of the COIN units are in the Kashmir valley. In other districts of J&K the people things are quiet comparetively, apart from biased propaganda sources. Possibly the jihadi groups hide their incompetence by inflating figures.

If we had 500,000 troops in J&K - the Pak and Chinese armies would have been on tenter-hooks.
