Mr Kasuri The only problem between India and Pak is Kashmir, and it is the root cause of terrorism in both the countries. Pakistan is also being cynical as Indians were and are. If anyone sneezes they say Pakistan has done it, and Pakistan is doing the same now.When ISI creates problems in India def RAW is not sitting idle and watching.
The people who are suffering are Kashmiris and not the ordinary Indians or Pakistanis. People who suffered are displaced Pandits and killed Muslims, and their families. After partition Kashmir was an Independent princely state. It was neither part of India not the part of Pakistan. Why People and politicians from both sides not be honest, and let Kashmiri people (Pak Controlled Kashmir India Controlled Kashmir) decide what they want. Let Kashmiris decide what do they want, an independent nation, stay with India or go with Pakistan.

Yoss, Its a catch 22 situation isnt it. Well self determination is principally the right solution. However certain conditions need to be right for self determination. They are: 1. Displaced Pandits & all other populations to be included. 2. Strident indoctrination should be put a stop to. For atleast the next 10 years. 3. All forms of influence by pakistan in ICK & indian influence in POK should be stopped.
We can have a referendum in 7 years & a plebicite in 10 years.
3 possible solutions 1. Independent Kashmir 2. Split Kashmir into Kashmir, Jammu & Ladakh. Result of the refrendum should be applied to these geographies. 3. Handover Kashmir to Pakistan.
All peoples wishes should be taken into consideration when you apply any of the above solutions. Even those of the innocent Pandits who have endured decades of hardships.
