A stupid dumb and idiotic letter only shows the disconnect the writer has with issues being faced in Kashmir.
Expand in detail on this.
Shame on you major. You can only write letters to people but you feel fear to face them personally. If you have courage then volunteer yourself for valley and take part in operations, i hope a bullet and a fearful death waiting for you.
Burhan was a child by using so much power against him was a coward act. Took entire regiment of 19RR with the help of police moved to face a soft target like Burhan.
Shame on you.
He is a veteran, finished his stint and done with,so be rest assured would have served there.
Entire regiment of 19RR? LOL
I have never seen all the companies of a RR unit ever in proximity let alone entire strength on a single task!!! Your highlighted sentence is mere bluster, and factually bereft of any sense or truth.
Indian policy regarding Kashmir is totally archaic. If people of the valley want an independent state then who are they to deny. A federation is only a union of the willing. They should hold a referendum and get done with it. Just like UK had two referendums in recent years. Either the valley will stay with India or else if they become independent then it will be another harmless, hermit state like Bhutan. India only gains both ways.
Go read the exhaustive discussions on why referendum has not been held till date. Concisely: Pakistan was supposed to withdraw and then India leaving some security under commission to get a referendum held. Pakistan didn't withdraw, India didn't do it due to former .... please read about it
i thought the kashmir insurgency was going on with all the families.. i dint know the kids of those waging the war were in USA. can anyone confirm that?
I don't know your roots, but few facts:
1. The majority of separatists who are in Hurriyat have children outside Kashmir. Some have in Delhi, Mumbai, Pakistan, UK or US. Their children are well settled and out of J&K.
2. The majority of business interests in Kashmir are controlled by either the politicians or the separatists. The civilian contractors used to supply the army are also similarly employed by these two groups of people.
3. The funding for Hurriyat comes both from Pakistan and from India!!! When geelani was unwell, he was given a VIP treatment in Delhi undergoing treatment at Apollo.
4. With the above facts, the only one who suffers is the common Kashmiri on the ground as both these groups have extensive business networks profiting from supporting unrest as India continues to deploy forces in Kashmir. The economy of war has enriched them.
5. Bereft of any problems in Kashmir this group shall suffer the most. Now why would they like to do that and reach peace if their source of income is from unrest?
