see.. you say you need Kashmir, so if India leaves kashmir can never be independent, it will be fully occupied by pakistan. anyways 90% of Kashmir excluding the valley is now occupied by pak
 
Billi You're naive.While Pakistan has done a lot of things to India which has hurt India but India is no virgin.It has hurt Pakistan too.
 
If it takes to kill people to maintain law and order then be it. There is no choice.

Your Tallel than mountain, deepel than ocean friends did exactly the same in tinamen square. 10000 men and women at a time with tanks and army artillery.

We reserve the exclusive right for managing our affairs. We will kill even those like you who question our authority to do so or meddle in our affairs by means of your bas.tard proxies.
 
your stand is just INDIAN and NOT KASHMIRI or NEUTRAL! we are handing over nobody! but we CAN discuss the uniting of both kashmirs and giving them there freedom after all AZAAD KASHMIR IS AZAAD ITS THEIR CHOICE TO MAKE!as for name of kashmir NOT BEING ALLOWED TO BE ISLAMIC REPUBLIC OF! well if they want they cann call themselves the DEUTSCHLAND OR FATHERLAND or whatever it is NON of your or our concern after all they will be "INDEPENDENT"

as for pakistan will still carry on terrorism! FIRSTLY PAKISTAN DOES NO TERRORISM IN INDIA PERIOD!

secondly your logic of staying in kashmir brings you back to where you started to the current stalemate!
Azad Kashmir is a goddamn Joke. Hell their plight is far worse than Kashmir's. India was never founded on relegious majority/minority so kashmir having muslim majority is of no consequece. No compromises. Kashmir is India's.
 
Billi You're naive.While Pakistan has done a lot of things to India which has hurt India but India is no virgin.It has hurt Pakistan too.

I dont know what india has done. There is not one Hindu sent by india who has gone on the streets of Karachi and killed innocent.
Not 1 hindu/indian has hijacked pak planes to release terrorists.
india at most does intelligence gathering and maybe give moral support. BUT the big difference is that Pak is the firs attacker , india only reacts.

Secondly, my whole point is that, altho I would like to see India leave kashmir, India cannot afford to leave it , otherwise Pakistan will send more terror to india

dude, i am not discussing pakistani opinion. i am talking about indian public opinion and no one here blames naxal and maoist attacks on pakistan, thats just some fringe junk.

anyway, the thread is to discuss evolution of indian public opinion and lets stick to that.
 
No, Pak has a grudge with india's existence. It will find a new way to send terror. It will first send its errorists to Kashmir like it is doing in Afghanistan and thats the end of Kashmir and peace. Pak wants to be the king of ruins.

its ur policy to destroy everyone as u once attempted in 1971
now dont start yelling these were bangalis who want independance i know it all ........ atleast we were better than u, we left it.
pakistan never chanted on world forum abt naxalites and other probs in kashmir while india keep doing it , it keeps on pokin its nose in probs of nwfp areas ......
 
well, plz bother to provide a source or shut your nuisense.

INDIAN TERRORIST ARMY and their TERRORISM

Kashmiri women raped & killed stoke anger at Indian Forces


By LYDIA POLGREEN


SHOPIAN, Kashmir — On a sunny late spring afternoon, Asiya and Nilofa Jan left home to tend to their family’s apple orchard. Along the way they passed a gantlet of police camps wreathed in razor wire as they crossed the bridge over the ankle-deep Rambi River.

Little more than 12 hours later their battered bodies were found in the stream. Asiya, a 17-year-old high school student, had been badly beaten. Blood streamed from her nose and a sharp gash in her forehead. She and her 22-year-old sister-in-law, Nilofa, had been gang raped before their deaths.

The crime, and allegations of a bungled attempt by the local police to cover it up, set off months of sporadic street protests here in the Indian-controlled part of Kashmir. It is now the focal point for seemingly bottomless Kashmiri rage at the continuing presence of roughly 500,000 Indian security forces. The forces remain, though the violence by separatist militants whom they came here to fight in the past few years has ebbed to its lowest point in two decades.


“India says Kashmir is a free part of a free country,” said Majid Khan, a 20-year-old unemployed man who has joined the stone-throwing mobs. “If that is so, why are we being brutalized? Why are women gang raped?”

India and Pakistan have fought two wars over Kashmir, and the Himalayan border region remains at the heart of the 62-year rivalry between the nuclear-armed neighbors.

Settling the Kashmir dispute is the key to unlocking the region’s tensions, something the United States hopes will eliminate Pakistan’s shadowy support for militant groups and allow its army to shift attention toward fighting Taliban militants.

Despite Kashmiri rage and the damage to India’s image, the Indian government has bridled at any outside pressure to negotiate a solution, let alone reduce its force level here. Caught in the middle are Kashmir’s 10 million people. The case of Asiya and Nilofa is only the latest abuse to strike a chord with Kashmiris, who say it is emblematic of the problems of what amounts to a full-scale occupation.

Kashmir has its own police force, but it works in close tandem with the Indian forces here and is seen by many as virtually indistinguishable from them. Four Kashmiri officers are suspected of trying to cover up the crime.

Kashmiri activists and human rights groups say that rapes by men in uniform, extrajudicial killings and a lack of redress are endemic, not least because security forces are largely shielded from prosecution by laws put in place when Indian troops were battling a once-potent insurgency here. Both local and national security forces here operate with impunity, they say.


Last summer a dispute over land for Hindu pilgrims between Kashmiris, who are mostly Muslims, and the region’s Hindu administrators, set off weeks of massive demonstrations as well.

The question for India, Kashmiris say, is whether the huge security presence is doing more harm than good.

“Maybe at some point in time when the militants were in the thousands it made sense to have so many soldiers here,” said Mehbooba Mufti, leader of a major opposition party here. “But at this point they are not helping in any way. Their mere presence has become a source of friction.”

Indian government officials disagree and point to statistics showing a decline in infiltration from Pakistan as proof that their tough methods have worked.

According to the government, 557 civilians died in 2005 in what the government calls “terrorist” violence in Jammu and Kashmir, which is India’s full name for the area. By 2008 that number had plummeted to 91. The number of militants killed has fallen by nearly two-thirds, while the deaths of security personnel in the region have been more than halved. Where tens of thousands of armed men once roamed, government officials now estimate there are as few as 500.

Analysts say that other events have also played a role in reducing militancy and infiltration. Secret talks between India and Pakistan over Kashmir made progress but broke down in 2007, when Pakistan’s president at the time, Pervez Musharraf, began losing his grip on power.

In addition, after two decades of militant separatism, in December 2008 voters ignored separatist calls for a boycott and cast ballots in huge numbers in state assembly elections. It was a hopeful sign that Kashmiris believed they could influence their destiny by peaceful means.

The election brought Omar Abdullah, the scion of Kashmir’s most famous political family, to power as chief minister of the state. He promised to roll back the laws that shielded Indian security forces in Kashmir from oversight, and to put Kashmir’s police force, rather than federal police and troops, at the forefront of securing the region. But that has not happened, and the details of the Shopian killings have fed the darkest and most personal fears of Kashmiris as the investigation into the deaths has stalled.

“Who does not see their wife in Nilofa, their daughter in Asiya?” said Abdul Rashid Dalal, who lives in Shopian.

Nilofa and Asiya Jan had walked to the orchard around 3:30 p.m. on Friday, May 29. When Shakeel Ahmad Ahanger, Nilofa’s husband, came home at 7:30 p.m., the two had not yet returned. He went to search for them but found no trace.

By 9:30 p.m. he was frantic. He went to the police station, and along with several officers scoured their route, including the shallow bed of the Rambi River. The police called off the search at 2:30 a.m., urging Mr. Ahanger to return at daybreak. After his dawn prayers, he went back to the bridge with police officials.

“Look, there is your wife,” the local police chief said to Mr. Ahanger, pointing at a body lying prone on some rocks in a dry patch in the middle of the stream.

He rushed to her, but she was dead. Her dress had been hiked up, exposing her midriff. Her body was bruised. “I knew immediately something very bad had happened to her,” Mr. Ahanger said. His sister was found a mile downstream. Their bodies were taken for autopsies, but the cause of death seemed clear to residents who have longed lived in the shadow of the security forces.

“Two girls disappear next to an armed camp,” said Abdul Hamid Deva, a member of a committee of elders set up in response to the killings. “Their bodies then mysteriously appear in a river next to the camp. It does not take much imagination to know what is likely to have happened.”

Town residents gathered at the hospital for the autopsy results. Initially a doctor said the women drowned. But the crowd rejected the conclusion; the stream was barely ankle deep. Residents pelted the hospital with stones. A second team of doctors was called in. They confirmed that the women had been raped.

“What was done to these women even animals could not have done,” the gynecologist who examined the women told the crowd, weeping as she spoke, according to witnesses.

Two men who had been at a shop near the bridge would later tell investigators they saw a police truck parked on the bridge and heard women crying for help.

Initially, the chief minister, Mr. Abdullah, also told reporters that the women had drowned. Later security officials said that advisers had misinformed him. A few days later he acknowledged that the women had come to harm and appointed a commission to investigate. But investigators say that crucial evidence has been lost and that they are no closer to finding the culprits despite the arrest of four local police officers on suspicion of a cover-up.

Kuldeep Khoda, the director general of Kashmir’s police force, admitted that his forces had made mistakes. “There is a prima facie feeling there was destruction of evidence, whether deliberate or inadvertent,” Mr. Khoda said. “The investigation is going on and the results of that investigation will come.”

Indian government officials say that the security forces here are needed to head off more insurgent violence or a Pakistani invasion. “If there would not be a war that is fought by external forces, our soldiers would not be there,” said a senior Indian intelligence official, referring to groups in Pakistan.

But residents of Shopian say the security forces are the only threat. “The only thing I can do now is hope justice will be done,” said Mr. Ahanger, Nilofa’s husband, who is struggling to care for his 2-year-old son, Suzain. “Nobody is safe in Kashmir — even a child, an elderly man, a young girl. Nobody is safe.”

They died of drowninng and not due to rape. Petty and Foolish journalism by foolish and propagandist (so called) "journalists"

:wave::wave:
 
Well if you dont agree to handover Indian criminals then , you are the ones who are causing Kashmir not to be independent.

Pakistan has laways exported terror into india. your own govt admitted it.

Since Pak will not stop sending terror into India whether we leave Kashmir or not, I feel its better for India to stand its ground in Kashmir rather then leave kashmir and still experience the same terror.

pakistan never chanted on world forum abt naxalites and other probs in kashmir while india keep doing it , it keeps on pokin its nose in probs of nwfp areas ......

Dont simplify the problem. Pakistan killed 3 million Banglas, they were puring into India. No Kashmiri is pouring into Pak. Also, Pak didnt leave it, they were made to go, india captured 91000 Muslim soldiers and generously let them go. but you guys during kargil mutilated the genitals of 2-3 indian soldiers.
we dont go about destroying pak, you did it to yourselves. thats what many people in your country say too.
 
Azad Kashmir is a goddamn Joke. Hell their plight is far worse than Kashmir's. India was never founded on relegious majority/minority so kashmir having muslim majority is of no consequece. No compromises. Kashmir is India's.
