Kya doc, sending mix signals...
IMO , we should stop treating Kashmiris as what in call in Odiya "Galellha pua" any longer and better take off the kid gloves.
whie People of in parts of North East have may have a sense of alienation for India, where as Muslims of Kashmir think Kashmir problem is unfinished business of partition ,a division whose genesis lies in the so called two nation theory.
So Kashmiri separatism has everything to do with religion rather than less communal ideas like ethnicity or language .There is hardly any ethnic difference between Kashmiri Muslims with no sense belonging for for the Indian state always asking special this or that and Kashmir pundits ,a group who worked tirelessly putting the foundation of the country .
So No amount of conciliatory gonna effort can the change the mindset that India ,a Hindu nation has occupied their land(Kashmir valley) where Muslims are in 90% majority especially under the current status quo prevailing there even the pro India party national conference demands more rights and less interference of India. .
I don't know why Patel and Nehru kept that part of Kashmir valley under Indian control. It may be only due to water resources or Kashmir being ancestral home of Nehru or . Anyway since we have it now,we cant go just set Kashmir free ,the virus may spread to other parts of India.
So the way out is,doing opposite what we have done in last sixty years.For having special status and little integration with the Indian state for so many years have made Kashmiris carry baggage of being out of mainstream India and consider themselves different from rest of the Indians.
So remove article 370 and Stop giving special status to whole the J & K.Take out Jammu and laddak from the J & K state , make it part main stream India.I know people of Jammu and Laddak would support us whole heartedly in it.
Stop giving so much Central assistance to the state,its going anyway in to the pockets of Abdullahs instead of common Kashmiri .Had these funds been used among the tribals of central India ,we wouldn't have the Maoist problem we are facing today.
Threaten the valley politicians with dire consequence like handing the valley to Pakistan where they can continue their independence struggle.
Change the demography of Kashmir and make it less Muslim and more Indian.
Do whatever needed ,but we must break the box kept that Kashmir as a separate special entity called "J & K" and if gonna we keep it untouched ,someday day the box will fall off the Indian deck and all our investment made with money,lives of our men would go in vain.
PS:welcome back doc .
Hard to find a solution that satisfies both nations.If india gives up kashmir ,then the entire nation will be consumed by riots and demands of similar kind.There will be huge outcry in Pakistan too, if it does the same.So honestly i dont see a solution for kashmir problem ,atleast in the coming decade
I see some solutions
1. I dont think there ever will be a redrawing of the boundaries. One thing India and pakistani governments could do is to allow people in the Kashmir valley who like Pakistan to go to Pakistan. Perhaps, their moving expenses and a down payment for a house in Pakistan can be borne by the Indian Government, reducing the burden on Pakistan. It appears that most of the people clamoring for freedom are poor, illiterate SriNagar downtown folks. So, it is not that the Indian Government has to compensate them with land.
2. Allow people from Pakistani Kashmir and Indian Kashmir to live and work in both countries - free movement of people and trade.
3. Absorb the respective Kashmirs into the national fabric of each country. And remove any special status given to them. Trade and investment cannot be one way. It is always two sided.
Every one in Pakistan must realize that we tried many times but failed to take Kashmir thru military means. India is not going to gift Kashmir to us. Only other solution which could be acceptable to the Kashmiris (Kashmir belongs to the Kashmiris, not to India or Pakistan) would be to make the border between Azad Kashmir and IOK immaterial for the Kashmiris; something like US/Canada.
Once we do that, we will slowly have half of impoverished Pakistan suddenly becoming "Kashmiri" to come over to the more prosperous side, with or without malintention.
Indian per capita socio-economic indicators are largely close to those of Pakistan, and until the disparity in those indicators increases significantly, there is nothing that India, with its own hundreds of millions of impoverished living in slums and lacking basic sanitation facilities, offers to the impoverished Pakistani.
