Isn't that the point behind conducting polls? Using a "sample"?Its a survey done on a sample. So if you take the real figures its 87% of the people surveyed.
From the little that has been published so far, it is hard to tell whether an appropriately diverse cross section of people was surveyed, but even if it was, the best way to determine the wishes of ALL Kashmiris would be to conduct a free and fair Plebiscite and respect the results.
Nonetheless, the poll does bolster the view that the Kashmiris do not want to remain a part of India.
Which 'Indian newspaper' conducted that survey?
Never heard about the organization before but this is what was reported on Daily Times
Delhi’s Centre for the Study of Developing Societies interviewed 226 people in Srinagar and 255 in Jammu for the poll, published in Monday’s Indian Express.
