Isn't India too hegemonic for Pakistan to make peace with? From my readings, India has a dominant superior attitude which it adopted after its economic rise. India seems to have a problem with all of its neighbors and frankly speaking seems to be nothing less than a regional bully. Indian...
As a Muslim I would warn you against underestimating another due to their perceived strengths or weaknesses. Remember that the Jews were practically nearly exterminated during world war 2 but rose strong to defeat nearly all neighboring Muslim nations not even 25 years later. Don't base your...
Does make sense. China doesn't really send its armed forces to occupy territory for personal gain. China needs a strong navy and a stronger airforce together with a good few regiments of special ops for any threats to its investments. Apart from that, a one million man army would suffice
Okay, as I said earlier, forgive my ignorance on specifics. If the majority of the people in the State of J&K voted for a party which asked for independence from India, what does your constitution have to say about that ?
Please answer my question. I am not a Pakistani and in fact have never...
intifada literally means releasing the anger within yourself..on a broader scale it means rebellion and it doesn't necessarily mean a peaceful way of doing so
Are you saying that if the majority party in Kashmir (who wins a State election) demands independence then India will be compelled to accept in terms of its constitution ?
I don't want to debate at length since I don't have my facts together and rely on my research and google for my facts, whilst you living in that area would know better than me. Firstly, it seems that it is accepted that Pakistan funds and arms the rebellion in IoK? Are you saying that's untrue...
I watched a movie on Bhagat Singh the other night. Contrary to what you say, he was manipulated and "spoonfed". He initially was a Congress supporter but lost faith in Gandhi after Gandhi abandoned the boycott. He then was convinced ("spoonfed..brainwashed" ? ) at university by the radicals to...
You're losing the point which these people are making. Reading western books and eastern literature on communism or socialism isn't the basic entry point to becoming a revolutionary. The point is that the fighters are rebelling against India claiming that they want independence or unification...
I am not suggesting anything. Just here to learn and to query. As I stated in the intro forum, I am doing a thesis on the after effects of partition of a country and I choose British Colonial India as my topic which includes Kashmir and the dispute there. My query was simply this...there seems...
Okay. Thanks for the info. The fact remains that neither Pakistan nor India will give the other side any part of Kashmir occupied by them. You guys even fought over a rock with some snow on it and which is uninhabitable. So, there is little or no chance of any plebiscite or concessions from...
Perhaps India needs to revise both its intelligence ops and the development projects in the area. Lack of development often results in areas demanding autonomy or independence due to a feeling of being left out of the mainstream development of the larger nation. Proper and independent field...
