it's nice to read such articles and also discussions on these. After 1947, Pak decided to attack Kashmir and occupy them. Kasmir ruler decided to join India instead. So India, fought the PAK attack and defeated them, but PAK had already occupied 1/2 Kashmir till then. the status has been like that since then - wars have been fought, discussions / meetings have happened - but STATUS HAS REMAINED THE SAME in last 50 yrs.
the status is - PoK is having a maverick ruler - who runs puppet govt in complete control of Pak Govt and ISI. so bad is the situation of people that after the recent earthquake, till now people's are affected and they had to look towards INDIA for Aid! have an independedt agency be sent there and you will know that PoK people are suffering on daily basis - this is how PAK wants to treat Kashmiris. on India's side, yes Indian's are not allowed to buy land in Kasmir, because govt of India promised Kasmir's a semi-independent status when they joined. India has so far lived to that promise and run's plenty of welfare activities - apart from holding democratic elections. if India decides to forget it's promise - nobody can question them! but as a beautiful, rightful country it lives on that promise - even it has bleeded because of it. (mr. eclipse note this) comparing INDIA and PAK - facts are for all to see - PAKISTANI's have grown whenever they have left their country and moved outside, INDIAN's are growing everywhere - examples - TATA's, RELIANCE, WIPRO, INFOSY's, RANBAXY, SATYAM, MITTAL STEEL, etc. can you name any such examples from PAK. no offences meant but fact remains a fact.
