fine but we also went to UN and asked /accepted for Referendum in 1948
right ?
--
my point is ..india will do if.,
1.Kashmir should be as whole geogrpahya nd demogrhy...
2. aksai chin is backfrom china
3. pandit came back and settle
then it can represent Right referendum ..for kashmiri people

 

[Bang Galore]

India likes to call itself the world's largest democracy...so let's have a democratic go at it and have a referendum!

Why not?

Scotland was allowed this right some 300 years after it joined the union. The least to do is ask this question of India in about 250 years.

1. UN resolution is non-binding .

2. Pakistan chickened out from doing the pre-condition for referendum .

3. Shimla Agreement rejects any 3rd party intervention which in turn nullify UN resolution .

Points 1 and 2 raised by you will never happen .

Even if all the points raised by you happens then again India will never again accept UN resolution .

Not gonna happen.Too late.
We would agree with their demand if they treat Kashmiri Pandits as their brothers.Kashmiri Sikhs,Pandits and other minorities like Indian rule.Since they support us we dont need to hear this looters aka separatists words.These peoples become rich by exploiting Kashmiri people .

Scottish people didnt treat their minorities disgracefully ,So they have every rights to ask independency.But in the case of Kashmir ,these separatists dont have an independent opinion they are influenced some actors across the border.
JKLF and their followers did a lot against Kashmiri Pandits
we dont need to acknowledge such BS from separatists who eliminate the son of soil Pandits from valley .Scottish never did such cruel acts.

You know very well that how separatists drove out pundits from valley and how terrorists and the PDS which supports them try to thwart any attempt of India to improve situation.

In such case, the above option is not possible, my dear sir.

Well noone compelled them to sign Shimla Agreement.Circumstances might force them to do that.But that is not our subjects.They signed Shimla Agreement so their claim for refrendum is over.

 

[Guynextdoor2]

The separatists also 'seized' food supplies and relief materials for the flood hit people.

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Well , Scotland is doing what Kashmir should have done a while back

Difference between civilized europe and backward South Asia

 

[wolfschanzze]

Yawn! What else is new? They can ask heaven they won't get a inch of land.There wont be any Referendum.Nor any vote
Even UN won't intervene after Simla Accord.Case Closed.Besides West is not in any position to dictate India's policies.
Like Scotland asked for Referendum after 300 years Separatist Kashmiris can try asking India again after another 250 years and try their luck.

No need to honour any agreement that is not binding on us .

 

[Screambowl]

Who are asking for referendum, first pull them out from waters, because half of Kashmir needs aid and relief not this stupid Referendum.

can you put pointer what in shima agreemnt

''No UN referendum but only bilateral talks with Pakistan to resolve Kashmir problem''. Because we all know that Kashmir problem is funded from Pakistan, no second source of this problem.

you do understand the result of this,right???India will demand Pakistan to leave the Kashmir.then joint Kashmir will choose whether they're going for Pakistan,India or become Independent.you surely going to guess,looking at the present condition of Pakistan,it is very much evident that whatever it might be,it is almost certain that Pakistan will lose Kashmir,which means P-O-K as well as Gilgit-Baltistan.

perhps you forgot that UN infact directed Pakistan to vacate Pakistan so that India would maintain minimum troops there and conduct a fare vote under UN so that a vote to determine Kashmir can be conducted.we all know the consequence.

that Kashmir is a bilateral issue b/w India and pakistan and the prior UN order is effectively null and void.

A good few Kashmiris disagree with that.

Funny how you put a blanket statement on the sentiments of other people just like that.

there is always an option for them !

The option was on the table, from 1952 to 1965 pakistan had the option to evict it's troops from the pre 1947 kashmir border and hold a referendum, but pakistan was never serious about it and thus never initiated the process to hold the referendum choosing to attack india instead in 1965. Apart from that, the demographics of kashmir on pakistani side has been changed beyond recognition, thus chances of referendum are pretty bleak.
