The process of peace and normalization will not be overnight. Only when the terrorists have finally been defeated will the people truly be able to experience an alternative. Only a decade ago, the situation in Northeast India was absolutely out of control, with rebel groups like NSCN controlling large amounts of territory and in some cases, even Government positions. Now most of the militants have fled to Myanmar, where they are now being hunted down Myanmar forces, and the remaining militants left are now negotiating for peace. As a result, the people of NE India are now enjoying the economic development and opportunities the rest of India enjoys.
Once the situation with Pakistan normalizes, trade will be reopened along the LOC. and tbh, all the talk about revoking Article 35A is just political rhetoric, it is not going to actually happen.
Opening the border is not that simple!
That’s the most complicated of demands and this is where understanding the Indian POV is essential.
When we have an enemy that has on record organizations (outside the apparent purview of the Pak establishment targeting our soldier and civilians) and stoking separatism, the issue of opening up the border is a non starter. Not until some terms have been set, borders marked and firmed up.
It’s unreasonable and not for debate.
It’s like my neighbor asking me to take out my fencing when his dogs have been shitting in my yard and the neighbor taking no steps to curb the dog or it’s behavior. It doesn’t work that way.
Yes I think this could be the basis of a formal deal, if Pak renounce any further claims.
I am amazed and disappointed that something so simple could not be sorted between Pak & India. I felt quite sad because as my Kashmiri friend explained the people felt hostage between the two countries and historically they feel they are like an autonomous nation like Nepal or Bhutan.
He said in this day and age most people there do not have any bad feeling towards the fellow Indians and don’t really care if defence, foreign affairs with the central government but they did not enjoy the constant threat to remove their autonomy etc
