Here are three things I have already said earlier
1. Pakistani arguments on Kashmir are based on the following :
1)Kashmiris are Muslims, So are Pakistanis, so they shouldn't be with India - Wrong, because India is not Hindu, India is 'Secular'. So it is not as if Kashmiris will be lynched in the streets if they stay with us.
(2)Kashmiri Muslims are being Oppressed by Indian Security forces because they are Muslims - Wrong, because while there are human rights violations in Kashmir committed by our forces, they occur because it is a heavily militarised zone. Rights violations are common in almost every heavily militarised zone in the world. So Religion has nothing to do with the fact that there are Human right violations. And if Kashmiri Muslims are indeed being oppressed, then they are being oppressed by both the Hindus and Muslims of India ! You see, Muslims form a large number of our security forces, two of our presidents in the past have been Muslims. SO saying that their Religion is the reason for HR violations is just a theory that Pakistani propagandists have fed the Kashmiri Muslim populace.
(3)Kashmiris were promised a Plebiscite which never happened - Well, For every argument a Pakistani makes in favour of a Plebiscite, the Indian side has a Counter argument, so this argument about plebiscite can only create problems when both sides sit to try and resolve the issue. You have to look at the underlying principles in the present time and whether they are just
2. False Pakistan's propaganda in IoK -----> Kashmiri Muslims believe they are being oppressed because of being 'Muslim' -------> Kashmiri Muslims demonstrate support for Pakistan in rallies etc and a minor number offer refuge to terrorists when they cross over the LoC ----------> India is forced to maintain a heavy military prescence in Kashmir -------> Human rights violations occur ---------> False Pakistani propaganda again
Pakistan is responsible for this Vicious Cycle. And this is the reason Kashmiris will not vote for India in a plebiscite even though that would be a better choice for them than joining a banana republic like Pakistan !
3.Just and moral principles would be this - "We want Kashmiris to prosper whether they stay with India or Pakistan". Pakistan insists that they can simply not live happily in India, why my dear? ARen't other Muslims staying in India. Hasn't a Muslim been one of the most popular presidents of India, Isn't a good part of the Indian cricket team and Film industry muslim ?!
Pakistan is a country that refuses to change its opiniion with changing times. Your forefathers at the time of partition told you that Muslims can't stay happy in India - you beleived it then. No problem, but look at what has happened and revise your opinion. A fool is a person who commits the same and same mistake again. You still are stuck on the same 60 yr old argument.
