India and Pakistan need to settle this childish fight over Kashmir once and for all. Peacefully and politically.
One way is as below.
1. Both countries should adopt the same Progressive political system. Two separate, independent republics but with the same political system, much like what pre-2003 Iraq and Syria were with their same Ba'athist systems.
2. Let India-administered Kashmir and Pakistan-administered Kashmir remain with the respective countries.
3. Convert the LoC into an International Border that is crossable for trade, tourism and family visits.
All this will make the separatists in India-administered Kashmir to understand that their desire to join Pakistan-administered Kashmir is unnecessary because both countries will have become the same, politically.
Further, with separatist militancy reduced in IAK, what will remain is Regressive, religious militancy or activism ( for example, of Asiya Andrabi ) which can be controlled and removed with social support from the Progressives among the local civilians. The side effect will also be a drastic removal of the current military force which will lead to more goodwill for the peace project.
Lastly, I would like the refugee Kashmiri Pandits to be allowed to return back to the Valley.
