I read Kashmir a Tragedy of Errors by Talveen Singh wrtittein 1996 and published by Penguin. The author conculded that the damages done in Kashmir are beyond repair by both the sides and there is no solution for this issue.
I am not sure if there is a consesnsus within Kashmiris regarding what should they do? Should they remain independant ? Become part of Pakistan ? Or Remain in India ? If they become independant then their fate won't be different thant that of Afghanistan and pakistan. Can Kashmeer be on its own. Current situation shows Indian part of Kashmit is better than POK. What is the point in goign to Pakistan? Pak is only for taking revenge of Bangladesh nothing else.
Riggining of elections from Indian side has given reason for the speratist to justify terrorism and Pakistan was/ is more than willing to support their cause.
Kashmiris and Indian muslims should realize that they have all the rights to practice Islam under Indian government regardless of who is in Power BJP or Congress. Indian muslims are relatively more prosperous that Paki muslims, bangladesh and Afghanistan etc. Islam / Quran / Mohammed never taught taking lives of innocents for no reason. It doesn't make political sense it doesn't make social sense. What did Osama or other terrorist groups achived in last 50 years after adopting terror tactics? Who is the loser? Is Kashmir any better now?
