[livingdead]

bro i did't blame i just found interested images of both sides of border like to shear with you guys . i hope no trolling here we all are humans and we both sides have few haters and millions of innocents .

I am not trolling yaar.. all I am saying is, this is a struggle for resouce (kashmir/water) and both sides will try to get as much as they can.
Nobody is saint here. Thats all.
When people fight they try to show others as subhuman to justify their own atrocities (otherwise your will face psychological problem), but we all (at least those who try to find truth behind propaganda) know the truth.

It's obvious neither India or Pakistan can provide for the best interest of the people of Kashmir it is best for them to have their own independent state, Kashmir has bled long enough let them heal themselves now.

We the people of this world are at the lowest level of spiritual evolution in the universe - just one level higher than monkeys. Until we graduate to a higher plane of existence, there will continue to be bloodshed in the name of religion, pieces of land and corporate greed.

And that, my friend sums up the sh!t we all are in!

Though Kashmir with India or Pakistan is always a debatable topic but Independent Kashmir is the worst suggestion ever. Kashmir can never be a truly Independent & prosperous country when four Giants - China, Former USSR, India & Pakistan will be it's neighbors, look at Nepal & Bhutan for eg., these two countries are finding them pissed-up by being crushed b/w two Asian Giants - China & India. Thus, it will certainly become a client state of either of the 4 countries or all 4 will have there respective zones of influence.

+ Majority of revenue of Kashmir comes from tourists which travel there from India & Pakistan, there revenue will certainly decrease if now the people from these two countries will have to take VISA for it.

+ Majority of Infrastructure projects in Kashmir are funded by India & Pakistan as Kashmir's revenue itself is insufficient to fulfill this basic requirement.

+ Though people from the Valley have mixed opinions as to the status of Kashmir but people of Jammu & Ladakh are more than in favor of being part of India, so much so that they want a separate state from the valley, which is more integrated to Union of India, India can't be seen blind to there aspirations.

Thus, what i want to say is that the Kashmir equation is much more complex than normal solution of Independence.

A Pakistani soldier climbs down from a watch tower near the India-Pakistan border in Suchit-Garh, some 36 kms southwest of Jammu, on January 21, 2013. On both sides of the de facto border in Kashmir, villagers living on one of the world's most dangerous flash points have special reason to fear the return of tension between India and Pakistan. The spike in cross-border firing in Kashmir -- a region claimed wholly by both India and Pakistan -- has seen five soldiers killed in recent days and threatened to unravel a fragile peace process that had begun to make progress
