I'm sorry to chirp in the discussion, I havent checked the previous pages dont know how come Kashmir came here, Marathaman, KAshmir has been discussed many times bringing the same topic gives excuse to many to bring the same arguments which has been rehashed before.
Referrendum in Kashmir is completely out of question, Asim your argument is flawed, If kashmir can be a free country so that anyones comes and settles there is the precise thing you have not stopped, which is a violation of the very ground rule on the basis of plebicite because you cannot prove that the peoples who are coming to that free country are not nationalistic to the demand that Pakistan wants that means you have done demographic changes, demographic changes rules out the very basis of plebicite. I have made it clear here many times why Plebicite is unlawful in Kashmir because,
1. We have anti-property and anti-transmigration laws there while Pakistan dont.
2. Pakistan does not have any national record on the number of migrants nor does they holds any record to distinguish them between the migrants and the real kashmiris before or immediate after 1947.
3. Men in uniform does not counts or adds to problem on this in both sides because it is the uniform that disitnguishes them from others.
Interestingly The Indian Muslims I have spoken to still says jinnah was a traitor for dividing et al and ofcourse many hindus still holds the view of united India problem but problem is most of them who holds such view has very very less idea of what happened they just says peoples who divided the country are traitors, Me nope I dont.
The cause of partition is something more than minority issue, interpretations can be made both ways of its good side and its bad side.
