I’ve talked to 10,000….trust me bro. Now that were beyond “I know Santa Claus” talk, let’s get back to the main issue.
1. Kashmiris have never been in favour of joining Pakistan. They have always supported complete autonomy and see Pakistan as a vessel to attain that independence.
2. Pakistan has naturally supported Kashmiris because an independent Kashmir would naturally need Pakistan…all of the Kashmir Valley’s natural trade routes pass into upper Punjab and KP. An economic union between Kashmir and Pakistan would be required for Kashmir to remain a viable independent state.
3. Kashmiris in the valley will always support independence, regardless of Pakistan’s stance.
