Tough love! Modi’s raising Balochistan doesnt mean he has abandoned hopes of a historic peace

Hi there,
Another of your brethren @Bezerk seems to not like me discussing this topic.

Well you too are a "sistren" so don't worry. No hard feelings!

Anyways, my point is we still haven't come to a conclusion as to what's to be done with Kashmir.
Memebrs of this forum often quote Hyderabad and Junagarh, but not many Rajasthanis or Hyderabadis even remember accession of these regions to India. Everything is peaceful.
Now my reasons as to why referendum is not needed
1) Only 5% of Kashmiris protest against GoI.
I had tagged you in a thread to tell you the same. The region which has seen a surge in protests is the area marked in white

Actually this is quite absurd and i have replied to this in detail already. Even if ALL logical reasoning is left aside still the numbers do not add up. The source for this is an Indian CM! Enough said! Frankly speaking, i will dare to even say that you too know this pretty well. I am sure about it.

2) Last elections in the valley leaves no doubt as to whom the ppl in J&K prefer. BJP has been voted in along with PDP.

It's not hard to see what I'm alluding to here.

Why haven't you tried letting them vote if they actually do want to stay with India or not as per the old promises and commitments?

I do not understand that what is it about Indian Kashmir that needs to be discussed. We have a state and central government in place.
If at all Kashmir is to be discussed then let's discuss west and east Kashmir both..

Really? you still do not understand what is there to discuss? All that bloodshed and still!! When will people realize that there is something wrong and rather then blaming each other while bodies pile up in the valley we need to actually DO SOMETHING to resolve the situation. Even if that means discussion both azad and occupied Kashmir!! At least sit and discuss!!
See i have said this time and time again now, we, both India and Pakistan must have realized by now that this problem is not going to solve itself. It is not one of those typical south asian matters where delaying things ultimately resolve the problems as the matters dies slowly. This have not happened in Kashmir for decades and this wont happen now! It is the responsibility of all involved parties to actually take this matter seriously and resolve the problem. It is pretty simple if you think about it.

I do not know if it was sarcasm of sorts by @WAJsal and you.
Anyways thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread

For God's sake!! YOU know better than that don't you?
Harassi is a vegetarian dish, sorts of Haleem minu the meat!! There was nothing sarcastic about it. I respect you belifes and i can vouch for @WAJsal that he does the same. The disagreements are of different nature!
