Nearly half of the people living in the Indian and Pakistani parts of Kashmir want their disputed and divided state to become an independent country, according to a
poll published by think tank Chatham House.
London-based Chatham House says the poll is the
first to be conducted on both sides of the Line of Control (LoC), a military control line that has separated Indian and Pakistani controlled Kashmir since the U.N.-brokered ceasefire between two rivals in 1949.
The poll has produced startling results.
On average 44 percent of people in Pakistani-administered Kashmir favoured independence, compared with 43 percent in Indian Kashmir.
But in the Muslim-majority Kashmir valley, which is at the centre of the two-decades-old anti-India insurgency, between
75 percent and 95 percent support freedom both from India and Pakistan.
The scenic Himalayan region, which is divided between three nuclear-armed neighbours India, Pakistan and China, comprises of three regions — Buddhist-dominated Ladakh, Hindu-dominated Jammu and Muslim-majority Kashmir valley.
Twenty one percent of the population said they would vote for the whole of Kashmir to join India, and only 15 percent said they would vote for it to join Pakistan.
At least 80 percent of Kashmiris on both sides of LoC say that the decades-old dispute is very important to them personally.
The other findings are:
At least 43 percent on the Indian side and 19 percent on Pakistani side are concerned about human rights abuses.
A strong 80 percent on the Indian side and 66 percent on the Pakistani side say unemployment is the most significant problem facing Kashmiris.
Over a third, 36 percent in both parts believed that rebel violence would be less likely to solve the Kashmir dispute, compared with nearly a quarter, 24 percent who thought it would be more likely to.
Robert Bradnock, an associate fellow at the Chatham House think-tank in London,
told BBC that the results of the polls show no single proposition for the future of Kashmir which could be put to the population, and get majority support.
“The poll offers no simple fixes but offers signposts, through which the political process, engaging India, Pakistan and wider Kashmiri representation, could move it towards resolution,” Bradnock said.
In realities these polls have no significance, because most of the polls are done in the cities. And if you go to the remote areas, people even don't know who is the chief minister or who is prime minister.
Some facts for you
1. Before cross border terrorism in the valley, J&K state was very prosperous, and happy with the lowest crime rate in the country.
2. Kashmiri gujjar Muslims are giving their services from centuries to reach their hindu brothers to their religious shrines like Vaisno Devi and Amarnath.
3. Problem with the pakistani govt to understand the ground realities are Huriyaat is not J&K governmet, and few radical people raising flag in Lal Chauk are not Kashmiri people standing for freedom, because they know if they are arrested by J&K police, they will be dealt with the law i.e small fine, and if Indian Army (who are only confined to the cantonment areas)would try to supress those demostration though force, as propaganda by Pakistani govt. their will be no wisper in the valley leave aside the voice
