Countrymen (& women) Be magnanimous enough to acknowledge that we have a problem in Kashmir. The problem exists because of outside interference & internal ineptitude. To just blame outside interference is to be naive. We have mishandled the Kashmir situation & alienated the Kashmiris by insensitively dealing with their feelings & aspirations. No reason was big enough to justify alienating our fellow country men. We need to extend unconditional love & respect to our brethren in Kashmir (of course I dont include the cowards who only know to attack innocent civilians). Kashmiris too need to understand the broader country & its feelings. To act juvenile & be misled by elements like Geelani cannot be called "intelligent". They need to choose between a regressive & talibanized Islamic state and a modern, progressive, secular & resurgent India. Life in Kashmir is much easier & better than in the POK. Standard of living, healthcare, education, employment, womens empowerment you name it and there is no comparison between India & the other choice We need to have a plebicite in Kashmir. This should include all the pandits who were driven out by fundamentalist jihadis. If Kashmiris choose to be with India we should end the matter there. If they vote to choose the other side, people choosing so, should be escorted with due respect & pride to POK with adequate & further compensation for the migration. The Pandits should be resettled in Kashmir. An Israel style security arrangement should be made available in Kashmir for everyones security. Pakistan - India is capable enough of handling the nuisance from Pakistan. We need political will. Close the entire border in Kashmir & neighboring Punjab & have patrols at every 2km. Where not possible have 24 hrs helicopter patrols. Shoot@sight in a 100yard buffer zone. Have only 2 points of entry & exit. Its unfortunately the biggest joke of the century - Pakistan is capable of causing problems in India. Come on India can handle Pakistan, we just need to have the will.
