Rushdie is not from Kashmir, neither has he written anything on kashmir. . The UK has nothing to do with kashmir. So, what does the kashmiri citizen want here? Do they want India (or if they consider themselves a part of papistan, papistan) to ask UK to revoke the knighthood? . This is plain silly. The govt should crush the strike violently, if required. . The only strand linking the events is islam, which muslims do not want to edit or even discuss.
