So let me inform you that you belong to that group that don't want to see or have a misconception of the reality on the ground.
Let's us see who is not facing reality, whether it's me or you.
The JKLF movement was to establish an independent Secular J&K and even Hindus and Sikhs initially took part in that.
Why should there be an 'independent' and 'secular' J&K when India is already independent and secular. Or where Yasin Malik and his ilk unaware that India got independence in 1947 and was declared a secular country in 1950. You should question Yasin's motive rather than blindly believe him.
It was only thanks to bigoted muslims coming over from the Afghan Jihad aftermath that gave it a so called "Jihad" color and non-muslim minorities in Kashmir valley as well as pro-India and pro-Independence Kashmiri muslims were targeted.
While it is true that Afghan Jihadis had hand a hand it is equally true that vast number of Kashmiris were supportive of Jihad and is still supportive of Jihad.
See some 'patriotic' actions of Kashmiris..
Nine hurt as protesters, police clash in Srinagar- Hindustan Times
And if you are saying that GoI hasn't been "bad" to them, which world are you living in. There has been HR abuses there is no doubt about that.
What about abuses ? The big big question is did the Kashmiris started hating India after the abuse...a big NO. India army is there because Kashmiris already had hated India and without the army it was impossible to hold Kashmir. Kashmiris hated India even before Indian army was there. And how do you want the army to handle anti-India people. Do you feel pain if Anti-India people are abused ? I don't believe that terrorist have human rights.
The large amount of money that pours into J&K only recently has been shifted towards development instead of corruption among bureaucracy and security forces.
This is another problem. India should stop pouring money into Kashmir. No amount pampering,appeasement and sweet talk can make kashmiris love India. India already lost war for peoples mind in Kashmir. Radical problems calls for radical answers.
Bottom line if you look at just muslims in Indian Kashmir, 71% said joining Pakistan was unacceptable
Aren't amazed ,angered and dejected that 30 % of population of an Indian state voted for our arch enemy. Do you think this 30% is such a small percentage. The problem is grave,totally grave
while only 49% said joining India was unacceptable.
Only 49%...it's 50% half of the population ! damn it..
As an Indian I am angered at your only 'only 49%' comment. It actually proves my point.
If the article 370 was guaranteed to be implemented infull (right now its not implemented in full) then that fell down to 27% opposed.
You want article 370 to be implemented !!!!? It should canceled ASAP. No special rights for KAshmiris. They are just Indians like any other Indians.
So I guess its about time and start reading some credible news sources and books to update your knowledge of current events.
Actually we are equally informed. The only difference is in our world view and perspective. For you 50% of KAshmiris voting against INDIA is sign of their patriotism and for me your comment 'only 49%' is sign of your lack of patriotism. I regret to say this. I considered you to be a patriotic Indian Muslim who will get enraged at Anti_indian activities . But you were not up to the mark.
