Oh that's funny. You're taking it over against the will of it's population. As I said before, hold a referendum over asking if the Kashmiris are satisfied with Indian governance. Illegal settler.

Justify that statement.
Fact 1: It was the Pak army and marauding Pashtun raiders who first invaded the sovereign Kingdom of Kashmir, against the will of its population.
Fact 2: At that point, the legitimate ruler of Kashmir asked India for help to stop further pillaging and looting, and acceded legally to the Union of India.
Fact 3: The first condition for referendum agreed to in that year, was the withdrawal of all Pakistani forces from Pak occupied Kashmir. Do that, and then talk about referendum.
Fact 4: 65 years have passed since then, and many things have changed. Pakistan who kept trying to steal our Kashmir got broken in two. Meanwhile India built instituions and infrastructure and democratic governance structures in Kashmir, paid for by the toil and sweat of Indian taxpayers, and also defended the territory with our blood and treasure from greedy neighbours.
Fact 5: In light of the above facts, we now have no intention whatsoever of doing any referendum on our sovereign territory, just to please jealous Pakistanis who have realized finally that they are incapable of stealing Kashmir from us.
Inference:
1) Kashmir is and will remain Indian. You can do nothing about that.
2) Kashmir will continue to thrive and prosper safely because of being part of the Indian union, as evidenced by the news and images presented in this thread. They are much better off being part of India, as even the seperatists know today. Without India, they would have perished in natural calamities, not to mention the nefarious designs of greedy neighbours.
