Maybe in Jammu and Ladakh only, this is not true for the valley.
Wrong again. Pro-Pakistani sentiment in the valley is at an all time high.
Support for joining Pakistan in the valley is almost non-existent, and limited to only those following Geelani. Don't confuse that with appreciation for Pakistan's support to the Kashmiris.
Before 2016, there was always a disenchantment with India, but not enough to make people vote for leaving India. This is a state where almost everyone is employed by and dependent on India in some way or form for their economic survival. The greatest anti-India sentiment was limited to only 2-3 districts (Baramulla, Anantnag etc) in the Valley. Rest of Kashmir was ambivalent. If you could do the math, a vote for staying with India would scrape through. This would have been a case where people would choose the devil you know versus the devil you don't.
The series of missteps by the BJP has made matters worse for India, possibly for good. I don't think any Muslim in the valley and beyond trusts the central government, the state leaders (NC/PDP) and the Hurriyat anymore. The curious stance by the Hurriyat has left many angry and distrustful of them. Furthermore, it has become apparent that the BJP wants Kashmir and not the Kashmiri people. This sentiment will be very hard to reverse, regardless if the BJP gets voted out of power.
Obviously you think I am wrong here, but I wish you would give it a ear, rather then just looking at things from a singular view.
Indians have become a servile and docile people. They don't have the stomach or endurance for a revolution.
Forget about secession, Indians can't even get simple things right such as organizing mass protests to prevent the destruction of the green zone in Aarey Colony in Mumbai. BJP decides to cut off the lungs of the city, and nobody really fights it. Yes, there were some NGO's but they're toothless and lack even basic courage.
That episode itself tells me a lot about today's generation of Indians. These weaklings don't deserve a democracy.
This point is something very few people get.
There is a reason why this country was always ruled, and why people of this country prefers a "strong" ruler. They love to be told what to do.
