i understand from your writing that you are indian , discontent with indian govt. you are wrong at the reason that, it is because of ego, it is bcos , the most important rivers flow from kashmir to both india & pak, if either of the one gets hold of kashmir, the looser will be dried up without water, that is the main reason it is so contentious, Even if india didnot intervene and if pak got kashmir, it would be like one more bangladesh. bcos there punjabis keeps dominating others. you are also wrong that on both sides people can buy land, it is true with pak, but not with india, no outsider can buy land in kashmir. the best solution for now would be to make the LOC as permenent border.
