I live in a country with a democracy that is YET to mature, and that is YET to elect a Prime Minister (backed by hyper-religious whack-jobs and who was black-listed by the world over) who is a terrorist. 56 centimeters of height (or was it chest?) --less the 30 inch mickey mouse-topis which added maybe another 12-15
lets take your point at face value - why do your azzes burn so badly every time we meet with those guys.....been meeting with them for decades now, now suddenly you keep crying over a few meetings with "non-representative" leaders in occupied Kashmir?
humor me by posting it
Nothing to do with "Islamic fundamentalism" - it's just another myth concocted purely by the indians in order to SLANDER (once again - key word here) the Kashmiri nationalistic cause, which is not religious but purely existential in nature. Hell - even "hardliner turned moderates" like the JKLF have called for peaceful resistance towards ending the occupation. APHC and JKLF alike have BOTH called for the return of the few tens of thousands of pundits who actually did flee from Kashmir. The only ones who exaggerate about "fundamentalism" in occupied Kashmir or the so-called "Genocide" of Kashmiri pundits (KPs) are india and only india itself. Nobody outside is buying that narrative. Not even many Kashmiri pundit groups WITHIN occupied Kashmir itself (need proof, I have some literature for you on that one)
He spends more time talking about his newfound love for atheism and western ideals which is why he's best suited for Canada. I have nothing wrong with atheists - I've befriended some even. I have a problem with people who switch camps faster than I switch pairs of socks. Hussain Haqqani and this Fatah character fit that role nicely. Of course you will support him - just like Pakistanis with our own vested interests would be inclined to support the likes of
Kuldip Nayar - who by now probably has a bounty on his head by BJP/RSS goons, or the "nationalists" as you guys call them
I did not mind reading your entire post...But here is my response..
1- There is not denying of the fact that people of Kashmir Valley is more anti Indian than rest of the parts of my nation...I understand it and accepts it.
2 - It is also a fact generations are lost of the Kashmir people for their fight against India..
3- Indian army like any other Army are not angels...Army is army..Without any doubt, human right abuses happen and that triggers unhappiness in the people...If i will have in place of the kashmir valley people, i might have behaved in the same way..
4- But above all, the larger question is that Army styas because there is some anti national activity...Now Army does not stay in other parts of India where life is normal...So in order to address the human right issue, we have to understand root cause of the problem.
5- Even if i am trying to be rationale for the sake of discussion, India is not a true sense secular, like Europe and West, but we are trying to improve in each passing year to improve ourselves.To have a successful secular society, a nation must be able to provide basis fulfillment to its citizen...And we are still not able to do it..Hence when a struggle for resource happens, majority always dominates minority irrespective of religion or caste..It is not like only people of minority religion are not denied certain opportunity, rather even lower caste people are been neglected too.
So the point i am making here is that the opinion of Kashmir valley that they can not stay with India because they are different does not hold true for us...We can not beleive it that in spite of us being a nation os hundreds of diverse groups,religion and type of people, what is so special of Kashmir valley that they can stay with us...except their blind hatred or Hindu people?....And this is where my all empathy for them ends....I can not be empathetic to the people who simply hates because I am a Hindu....Let us for a moment assume that Kashmir valley makes up with Pakistan....Cani the reason why Pakistan is an better alternative than India rather than only simillarity that Pakistan is a Musim nation....
This is my 2nd problem....
Again, i do not know if these viewpoints are shared by other Indian posters..But these are my personal views...Absolutely...I would have been happy to support the Kashmir separation of India if they can at least provide some good reason and justifiable benifit they will get apart from the reaosn that they would like to get more Islamist than they are.....
Understanding Norway is too much dear friend...If some people can not understand Indian democracy,then Norway is qualitatively too good to understand for any one..Most Pakistanis haven't got a clue what a real democracy is until they found themselves in the Middle of it such as Norway.
