I don’t get why this is even a topic in PDF. Pakistan (or shall I say the Pakistan Aray command) abandoned Kashmir over two decades ago.
I still am amazed at the resolve of Kashmiris in IOK who still fight on, but gone are the days of support from Islamabad. And after the recent events in the country, a Kashmiri would be insane for wanting IOK to merge into AJK and become a province of Pakistan.
Kashmiris should focus on attaining complete autonomy and then push for independence through democratic means, just like how Kosovo did from Serbia or East Timor did from Indonesia how how Scotland, Catalonia and Quebec have been trying to secede from the UK, Spain and Canada respectively through referendums.
I wish Kashmir well and apologize as a Pakistani for abandoning you.
