India cant keep on sending hundreds of thousands of its troop to Kashmir, how long will India keep on doing this?
The world is realizing now what is going on in Kashmir. I'm glad Obama is talking about it, the 61 year old dispute must come to an end for both India and Pakistan to move on.
If there was no Kashmir problem, there would not be any India-Pakistan tensions rising. The center of India-Pakistan problem is Kashmir.
That's what living in a false bubble would mean. Neither the US nor President Obama is remotely interested in a Kashmir solution, only to the extent that Pakistan would move its troops to their Western border. When the US Defense Secretary and the President repeatedly state that India is no threat to Pakistan means that:
a. The Kashmir issue is dead in the US' eyes. There is no single benefit that the US gets by even beginning to solve this issue. The US is not even interested in solving the Chechnya issue, which is far more volatile than Kashmir ever was. In fact the US currently is NOT interested in solving the Middle Eastern crisis either. When Obama appointed Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State, we all understood how low on the policy scale, the State Department came for Obama. He did not want Hillary anywhere near him and so he politically exiled her.
b. India has satisfied the US enough in its handling of Pakistan, that the US thinks that Pakistan is being uselessly India centric.
c. The US thinks that enough time has passed since the Bombay attacks that whatever justices need to be done has been done.
d. The US thinks that people of loosely sovereign areas are better off in India than in Pakistan, where they are taken advantage of and turned into undesirables.
If you want to bring the US into the discussion, you should at least be honest about what the US wants. My honest opinion is that Kashmir is a dead issue for the western world and unless you threaten to nuke India or nuke India, it is never going to become alive.
