Kashmir problems and solutions

There was a good blog in Tamil by Badri.

அமர்நாத் -- காஷ்மீர்

Here is my comment and update.

Amarnath was identified by a Muslim Shepherd and Hindu Chauvinists created the Siva Abode story. Natural formation to religion and influenced hatred was in the making since 1932?

Based on Point No 3 as solution, you are saying they should be given self rule? On the contrary, Point No 4 says, Northern region (which part clarify in districts?) should be part of Pakistan's Kashmir? They still dont account POK in their budget! Absolute Warlords rule there. No growth would come there.

Splitting Jamma and Ladakh was put forth by Nehru himself, I am told. M J Akbar article. Very poor barren land, economy suffers. Now atleast based on Summer and Winter cycles, people migrate or economy adjusts.

I dont see anything spelt out in the book by Musharaf in these lines (4 points) you have quoted!

For India, it would be a pride issue, based on the Kings accession in 1948, earlier agreeing on the Pakistan rule while Radcliffe was splitting.

Here is a link about the communalism in the Indian context and applies to Kashmir.

Just heard Arundhati Roy, the famous Malayalam origin author, who wrote the child exploitation things in her 'God of small things', talking about seccesionism of Kashmir, which was rebutted by Mr Singhvi Congress Spokesperson, threatening to throw her in jail for that ir-responsible act of speech (which I feel is protected under our Constitution as a non-inciting speech, duh - Freedom of Speech). He also said that there are laws in the IPC which clearly demarcates, even talking about Splitting a country for peace (but not taking over - Sikkim or splitting other countries - Bangladesh). He cites the case of BODO, ULFA, Tamil Militants.

So much for our 61st year of freedom.

I am praying for peace to the higher powers.
