Right on the face of it another case from the Sangh Parivar stables! All wars with Pakistan have had Kashmir as the reason. While we Indians go by Maharaj Hari Singh's accession to India, Pakistan has been going on about the right of the people to determine where they should belong. Obviously both sides have merit in their stated positions but as both hold on so tight to their positions and take the confrontation path all along BOTH COUNTRIES ARE LOSING. It is time to grow up!! It is time to seek the middle ground - something that both nations can sell to their respective constituencies AND SURVIVE. Something that is for common good - something by which both nations can put Kashmir beyond them and look into the future for both countries tackling those issues that are even more serious and have a greater impact on the peoples of India and Paksitan both reeling under poverty, corruption and to a large extent both being held hostage OFF AND ON to the fundamentalists be they some Jamait-or-other and our very own Sangh Parivar.
If the leaders of the two countries can begin a proccess of lasting peace then we can also rid ourselves of the sick/rabid Fundamentalists in both countries.
