It wont be a good starting point because a separatist win in elections does nothing to advance the demand for a plebiscite, unless India accepts in principle that it will trigger a UN supervised referendum if the separatists win.
Why shall we give any such promises...When india stand is that kashmir is an integral part of India then this condition for separatist to hold election holds little ground....Secondly separatist win would rest all the claims of GOI that Kashmiri's want to be with India
The GoI and most Indians realize that if given the choice Kashmiris will not choose India, that is why they refuse to hold a UN monitored plebiscite.
well that can be your POV however we don't believe that...There are multiple reasons for not going into plebisite and PAK is equally responsible party in that...(i know you have different views)
So to argue that the separatists need to win an election to somehow 'show Indians' something is a canard. If you don't believe that the Kashmiris don't harbor separatist sentiment then why is India resisting a simple resolution to such a long festering international dispute and insurgency?
As said there are multiple reasons...Not going into that mode let me ask you if separatist stand in election and win by majority don't you think that is a clear indicator for GOI than people mean business here??? That's the beauty of Democracy...separatists should fight elections on one point agenda - Kashmir Independence or merger with Pakistan or whatever they want....People will let them know what they want...What else can be a bigger proof than this??? This will put all the claims of GOI reluctance for plebisite due to reason A or B and can be used as a tool in UN to put pressure on India....
