united states of kashmir ?? - (cough)hahahohaha(cough) - what a joke, it cud have been thought of only by the hurriyat....a bunch of jokers pretending to be the sole representatives of kashmir when they are not. It is in the best interests of hurriyat & kashmiris to a part of the indian union and seek redressal of their greviences within the framework of indian democracy & consitution. Indeed they are fortunate that kashmir is a part of india, if it was a part of an authoritarian state like china, they would have been ruthlessly suppressed & eliminated. When a huge diversity of people can live peacefully and pledge their allegiance to India, a nation built on the ideals of plurality & secularism...what is stopping the kashmiris from doing the same ?.....actually the heart of the problem lies with the kashmiris themselves....and the problem is their refusal to coexist with others in a democratic nation and their idea of wanting to live in utopian Islamic state.
