What's new

If India supports freedom in Crimea, why not in Kashmir?

I think we all know what the Indians get up to. Adding fuel to something which is a mere blemish (Baluchistan) and a problem which has absolutely zilch to do with India. Trying to put ideas into the minds of certain ethnic groups in Pakistan (Pashtuns). India cares too much about Pakistan and that's all it is really. It's a love hate relationship lol.
 
So there was a conspiracy hatched by the British and India to annex Kashmir ....
kashmir is integral part of India and so shall it remain forever, if sumbody hav problem with this they can leave our country and go wherever they want.
 
From the indian point of view kashmir is not a disputed territory either.Not that the article doesn't raise a interesting point,but we are not the only ones with such a problem.

So you guys are not bound by Simla Agreement anymore ???

We can ask the question of referendum for baluchistan,tibet and xinjiang.Uncomfortable for all of us ,wouldn't those questions be?

Don't lump your apple with our orange. Kashmir was an independent state neither belong to India nor Pakistan. Where as Tibet has been part of china for over 400 yrs, (it's independent attempt was not recognized by League of Nations back then. Even British Raj recognized Tibet is china.) Uyghur never had their own country. Xinjiang always been part of Chinese empire. There's no ground for any referendum, totally different from the case of Kashmir dispute.

The difference is Russian forces were welcomed in cremia where as Pakistan forces were chased and hunted by Indian forces with the help of locals in 1965.

Even Kashmiri army fought the pak invasion in 1948. So there is no Pakistanis love in kashmir.
 
When Jammu and Kashmir was acceded to India in 1947, the then Governor-General Lord Mountbatten wanted the accession confirmed by a "referendum, plebiscite, election'

However, India has refused to hold a plebiscite in Jammu and Kashmir
