i'd pursue this further if i had more time and stamina. but i can tell you what would happen if i did. we'd throw accounts from books at each other, whilst claiming ours is the more genuine and the others' is false propaganda. so lets keep Kashmir to what it is, in plain and simple terms, a question of people's right to self determination being trampled by India.
whichever way you cut it, how much ever you dance around with words as your are apt at doing, this is a fact on the ground. go to Sri nagar and ask a common baker, tea stall vendor, college going child, bus driver, what he feels about India. just do it once, and hopefully you will realize like arundhati roy and other sane indians, why holding kashmiris by their throat only harms india in the long run, and perhaps for the sake of its moral compass- india needs, as much if not more, to be independent from kashmir than the other way around.
it is already starting to poison the minds of common people, as atrocities committed over and over again become but natural in their eyes, and the victims progressively dehumanized. just look at the beast you all so proudly gloat to have elected. now please don't ask me to pull "documentation" about the treatment of kashmiris in mainland of india over the past few years. i trust that you were awake all this time and not blind/deaf to all.
anyhow this is my last reply on the thread, as i need to head off. if i am able to get hold of an internet connection within the next couple of days, i'll try and remember to dig up those references on google for you. if not, thanks for the civilized though predictable discussion.
