because, we love Pakistan and Kashmir is rightfully ours.
but looking beyond plain powder-form nationalism --- look beyond it and realize that most Pakistanis would most likely be in favour of a UN-mandated plebicite whereby Kashmiris would exercise their inalienable right to self-determination
it is so much to ask for? Why is hindustan so scared of it?
its a disputed territory, but let the people think that if that's what they want....
if it really is an ''integral part of india'' then, BOY!!!! You really don't know how to treat ''your'' civilians exercising their right to protest
save the heavy-handedness for the naxalites, that's where your forces should be 100% focusing
In Indian system of democracy, residents of one state can not vote on whether they want to stay in the country or not. If a vote needs to happen on future of Kashmir, it will be from all of INdia and not just the residents of one state. And that vote happens every 5 years
we were one of the fastest growing WORLD economies just a few years back, and our position on Kashmir was the exact same; therefore I see little merit in what you said
civil fabric is fine, and a lot of people (myself included) are optimistic that there is something good that will come out of this difficult period we are undergoing. At such young age, Pakistan is already learning lessons that other nations took decades, centuries to learn.
It all goes down to leadership and connection with the masses. Current administration is not doing that for whatever reason.
as for our position on Kashmir, we havent moved in inch. And dont expect us ever to. Kashmir issue is indeed ingrained in the hearts and minds of every single Pakistani man, woman, child, and even the wildlife and insects.
You were fastest growing for a brief span under Musharraf and please understand that the negative impact of policies like the one Zia created takes time to manifest. Last 25 years of supporting insurgencies is resulting in the spiral that Pakistan's economy is seeing now. Hopefully I will be proven wrong, but I dont see Pakistan's economy getting back to its winning ways for next 5-10 years.
And stand on Kashmir is not detrimental to Pakistan, but the way Pakistan has been taking that stand thru use of militancy is..
