What solutions for Kashmir do you think are feasible, realistically speaking?
a) There is only one 'solution' per se that is acceptable to India - Indian Kashmir remains under Indian sovereignty while getting freedom of trade and movement to the two Kashmirs.
Anything else which removes or even reduces the Indian territory is a non-starter regardless of any benefits that might accrue in lieu(peace/trade).
This means LoC=IB.
Now this is not acceptable to Pakistan.
b)So that means we will continue to play the game we are playing and Pakistan will continue to play its game. I however see that if the current course of action continues in Pakistan, it will not survive in its current form.
Which is why I advocate supporting
anything that gives a fillip to the militant/jihadi forces in Pakistan - from supporting Shariah loving groups to giving Pakistanis something to hate(India) because of Kashmir.
c) The third is engineering a demographic change in Kashmir, which is a very long term project which GoI is embarking on. It involves battling Indians with vested interests at a lot of places...and requires a lot of things to align.
For example somehow for A370 to go, which is the prime barrier to migration. This is a long shot..but what India is doing nonetheless. Will take decades to fructify if at all.
Either which ways, India will get to keep Kashmir. The only question is what would Pakistan choose a or b. Public Opinion in Pakistan leads me to believe that its people will never allow PA/GoP to choose a. Both suit us just fine.
