Salam...
I have read past discussions amongst Pakistanis and Indians regarding their views on Indian-administered Kashmir. The majority of discussions (largely composed of puns) rotate around which nation Kashmir as a whole should be a part of and about the human plight within Indian administered Kashmir. I have visited Pakistani Kashmir but the stay was too short to speak to locals (was also disadvantaged being a foreigner). I have always had one question though which seems to be neglected in all such discussions.
What are the honest opinions of members here regarding what Indian Kashmiris themselves (and themselves alone) think of their position-- Is there a strong Pakistan sentiment amongst Indian Kashmiris or do they rather wish for independence from both or is the majority satisfied with New Delhi as their capital?
I already know what views the respective governments hold, I want reference to the peoples own will only. I would really wish that Indian and especially Kashmiri members contribute. I know this is a rather sensitive question but I hope the answers remain healthy and informative.
There may be a lot of support for Pakistan or may be there isn't any. Who knows if we do a plebiscite we'll find out. However we all know they all hate India, BS surveys aren't worth anything. Only thing is, you want the truth, conduct a plebiscite.
However Pakistan is okay with Kashmiris choosing Independence as well. India is not okay with anything and is the ultimate villain in this Kashmiri story. Plain and simple, no two ways about it.
They are raping women there, they are killing the youth, they are burning down villages, there are mass graves found in Kashmir.
