SO WHAT's THE SOLUTION?
mujhe sirf ek hee realistic solution dikhta hai,
India apna kashmir rakhega (militarily). Pakistan apna kashmir rakhega (militarily). LoC will be made irrelevant permitting people to people contact just like in a single state. In short, kashmir will be united but under firm control of India and Pakistan.
A few modalities of the arrangement (such as seperate flag, constitution, currency etc.) can be worekd out. The three subjects Defence, Foreign Policy and communication will be controlled by India and Pakistan in their respective parts of the state.
It will be a very complex and detailed solution which will require huge concessions from both India and Pakistan.
And trust me guys India and Pakistan were willing to accept this very solution during talks between Mushy and MMS.
In the end,
India: happy because it controls the water, the land validating the 'unity in diversity' principle
Pakistan: happy because it gives them legitimate control of their part of kashmir in an internationally recognised way. Promised better relations with India, access to Indian market and what not. Just think about the economic opportunity it will bring for Pakistan.
Kashmiris: happy because it will give them the seperate identity they are seeking while getting economic benefits from both India and Pakistan.
Trust me friends, isse zyada kisi bhi party (India, Pakistan or Kashmiris) ko kuch nahin mil sakta.
Yahi ek solution bacha hai. Pasand hai toh accept karo. Nahin pasand.....well.....toh 63 saal se toh hum dekh hee rahe hain...........
