Thank you for your views.
I also concede that the Indian approach to J&K ( not Kashmir alone) needs review, Article 370 must go. There is no option but to make the LC into an IB.
As regards incorporation into India , it will happen when it becomes a regular state like the rest, far too long has this special status lasted. What the former CM is a Politicians view & we know that a Politician who has lost his seat will sell his Grandmother to come back to the lime light & power.
As regards Pak flags , they are planted & can be ' un planted 'in a trice.
Both nations have allowed their parts of J&K to fall back either due to special status granted which created generations of free loaders living on the dole and / or not granting them statehood.
Sure, I would have loved it if lets say Peshawar , Gilgit or Multan were a part of India. Similarly, you possibly would have liked Ajmer or Hyderabad to be a part of Pakistan. But that didnt happen.
Now, either we lament for 7 decades & more over a girl we cherished but never got & make an *** of ourselves or we just say to ourselves - F*** it & move on.
The choice is ours.
