How do these Kashmiri militants underestimate Indian military prowess? Can they not see, that if you pick up arms against any state, be it India, or Pakistan, you will die. Kashmir is not an independence struggle, because Kashmiris are already independent. They have their own assembly, they have elections, make their own laws, govern themselves as they wish.
In reality, Kashmir is a religious struggle, a struggle between inclusive secularism and religious extremism. Azaadi ka matlab kay, la ila ha illalah? What is this bullshit? How did the entire population buy into this bullshit?
India will never let a repeat of 1947. Never again.
