this kashmir issue has been blown out of proportion. its some handful of unemployed youths in srinagar, who shout for independence. mainly coz they want attention from girls.
the rest of the state of kashmir has no such problems, boys there are more focussed on their careers.
its ony downtown srinagar that has this problem, i think it has to do someting with the way urbanization affects peoples thoughts.
nothing to do with islam, democracy or anything like that.
