India knows what allowing the people of J&K to exercise their birth right to self determination would lead to. The entire Indian nation suffers from genocidal hegemony and living in mass self inflicted denial that somehow it would be able to maintain its colonial rule of J&K against the will of the people forever. India itself was once occupied by a superpower, if that can end, the Indian occupation of J&K will end too.
Did the British allow Indians to elect their own representatives, have their own state and local and national elections, participate as equal citizens? Jammu-Kashmir is as much under "occupation" as Madhya Pradesh or Maharashtra is. In all these people, the government is by the people, for the people. Self rule. Democracy. These may be difficult concepts to understand for somebody parroting the 700K soldiers nonsense repeatedly.
