Should Pakistan just repatriate Kashmiri Muslims?

[Indrajit]

No Kashmiri people would not want to leave their birthplace, their land .. This won't be acceptable to them.. It is their land.. why should they abandon them??


They want their land independent and are ready to fight for it for as long as it goes.. Abandoning their land would be like losing the Freedom Struggle in real terms for the Kashmiri people .

More like you want them to fight & die to the last Kashmiri if necessary & will only welcome them if they come with some land......

I really appreciate this gesture / idea. It should have been mulled earlier. After all, Pakistan was created for all Muslims of the sub-continent - till as late as the mid 1960s people were free to cross the border - the cricketer Asif Iqbal comes to mind. If Pakistan does it, it will win diplomatic brownie points and put India on the backfoot. I don't know how many people would migrate - of course the Hindus, Sikhs, Buddhists and Shias would probably not.

Btw I am an ethnic Kashmiri. And I would love Kashmir to join Pakistan. But even more than that I want my ethnicity to be rid of the Hindu country's identity forced upon them.

 

[Acknowledge]

Kashmir is a muslim majority state should like the rest of Pakistan had the right to separate from india and hindus

Yes. It 'should'. Lots of things 'should' happen.

But it won't happen.

The help will involve things Indians dont like

No idea what you are getting at

 

[Zibago]

True. The shrewdest Indian in the 20th century.

But it won't happen.

This is why their is war and hostility in south asia

India is the cause of this


Kashmiris will continue to fight for their freedom and Pakistan will continue to support them and look to block, harm india

True. Indian Muslims (especially from UP and Rajasthan) used to migrate to Pakistan in their tens of thousands yearly during the 1950s and 1960s.

Pakistan was founded on the basis of the two nation theory. How can Hindus belong in Pakistan? Quaid e Azam wanted to keep them so we could ensure the rights of the Muslims left behind in India.

What nonsense. Jinnah himself wanted to retire in Bombay and told Nehru not to sell his bungalow. He wanted to create Pakistan to create a homeland for Indian Muslims - but not exclusively for Indian Muslims - neither side envisioned the madness that followed.

Not true. Jinnah was never serious about it. Or he thought that the Indians will be gullible enough to repeat their mistakes over and over again.

 

[Jackdaws]

Not true.

We want people to live where they want. Currently both Govts. refuse permission to their populace to do that. If Pakistan allows them in, we should hold them here against their will.

Surely you mean we should not.

 

[SarthakGanguly]

Surely you mean we should not.

Edited. Thanks man.

Kashmiri people have been bled dry by Indians again and again so i dont think it is as simple as repetriation anymore because Indians have taken it to another level of barbarism and brutality. Denying UN access is just another show of their guilt in Kashmir.

Let's agree to disagree. My understanding of history is that he merely wanted to create a political space for himself and thus accepted the Cabinet Mission Plan for a United India. And he assumed the British would give him Muslim majority provinces as Pakistan - not the part of the province with the majority - so he expected full Bengal and full Punjab. Heck, he even gave a blank cheque to Hindu majority kingdoms like Bikaner and Jaisalmer to accede to Pakistan.

You are correct.
