Independence??? What Do you mean by Independence?? Do you think all states of India are "Slaves"?? FYI: Every State of India is Independent. Independence exists on every square metre of India's Land. Kashmir is suffering because of you people who think there is greener grass on the other side of the border!! What restrictions do you face in the country today..? You can do any business or activity not only in Kashmir but Entire India.? Now what do you want to do? You want to do it ONLY in Kashmir and NOT in India thats what your "Independence" means??? You have the weapons of DEMOCRACY, ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, EDUCATION You dont know how to use them to benefit out of it. Elect Leaders that can grow Kashmir. OR you are saying that your independence means "Free country of Kashmir"?? What do you want to achieve by being a free "country"? Don't you think you will miss the protection, Economic benefits (of gettting economic aid, "Development budget" allocation from INDIA's Budgets and freedom of doing business ACROSS India). Do you really want to become a small country (which will be weaker militarily, economically) just because Pakistan inspired you to be "Independent" because It could not win Kashmir in the wars that happened? Can you rely on such "Pakistan"? Pakistan is happy to see all children of India (Kashmiris, Himachalis, Hyderabadis, Bengalis staying together!!) and It intends to separate them JUST because it could WIN Kashmir. OPEN YOUR EYES AND EMBRACE INDEPENDENCE YOU HA
