Sorry for the delay in posting back......i didnt see your reply.
voter turnout does not legitimise alien occupation. For instance, the voter turnout in the 1967 presidential election under U.S. occupation in South Vietnam was even higher. Writing in The New York Times on September 4, 1967, Peter Grose reported: "United States officials were surprised and heartened today at the size of turnout in South Vietnam's presidential election despite a Vietcong terrorist campaign to disrupt the voting. According to reports from Saigon, 83 per cent of the 5.85 million registered voters cast their ballots yesterday. Many of them risked reprisals threatened by the Vietcong." The article added: "A successful election has long been seen as the keystone in President Johnson's policy of encouraging the growth of constitutional processes in South Vietnam... . The purpose of the voting was to give legitimacy to the Saigon government..."
No need for the GoP to revoke the Shimla Accords when it has already been done after the indian invasion of sachin.
(ii) In Jammu and Kashmir, the line of control resulting from the ceasefire of December 17, 1971, shall be respected by both sides without prejudice to the recognised position of either side. Neither side shall seek to alter it unilaterally, irrespective of mutual differences and legal interpretations. Both sides further undertake to refrain from the threat or the use of force in violation of this line.
Well dont include the question it in the referendum.......even though i think it should be included for sake of being fair.
Include china in the process.
What makes you think i want a facist-communist-theocracy ect regime to run kashmir?
Like said before...if all the polls show that the kashmiris love india then "why dont you put your money here mouth is" and have a referendum?
If you are talking about elections, they are held quite regularly.

If you are talking about referendums, the Shimla Accord agreed to resolve the issue bilaterally. So GoP will first have to revoke the Shimla Accords.

Moreover, the separatists actually want independence, not joiing Pakistan and the UN resolutions and referendum does not allow for that.

And if India does win, do we have any guarantee that China will return the part of J&K it occupies?
Include china in the process.
Anyways, many opinion polls have been done on this matter, the most comprehensive one by an Irish group specializing in conflict studies. Below is the relevant poll. It also showed that overwhelming majority preferred a secular J&K. The detailed survey and report can be found on www.peacepolls.org
