based on actual events; unless the UN, AI, and other agencies sympathise with ''terrorists'' (e.g. stone throwing youths who declare 26 january a black day every year)
an opinion extrapolated from facts and based on ongoing events in the occupied region (even as i type this)
An Indian view on Kashmir: Do we deserve this valley?
therefore a referendum would make sense; indians often glee over that britisher poll that was conducted. So indians feel the ''odds'' are on their side based on their twisted and highly distorted logic and mindset. So why not just hold the referendum? We should agree mutually on conditions and parameters whereby referendum would be made possible --perhaps invite international observers if need be.
the young generation of Kashmiris (i've interacted with many of them) are quite different; while not all want to join Pakistan (some want total independence) you will have a tough time finding a large group of Kashmiris who opt to be a part of hindustan. After years of violence and draconian laws, after years of not enjoying the same ''democracy'' and ''freedoms'' indians enjoy in their own country, it's hard NOT to see why. In my opinion.
plenty of threads exist on this topic; i wont keep repeating myself over and over again.
so why is hindustan entering these talks? If it isn't about Kashmir --then it will be the usual garbage about terrorism/mumbai etc.
india should ask why Kashmiris abuse india, throw stones at the occupational forces (sissies), shout ''go back, go'' and why in some cases they resort to armed violence against the former
i wonder what ghandi would opine of all of this; he must be tossing and turning in his grave.
