May be the politicians were playing Vote bank politics and stayed away(Coz he won an war against an islamic nation)...........When Sam jokingly comented that If only I would have accepted Jinnah's offer and moved to Pakistan the outcome of the 1971 war would have been different.............He was very unhappy that the biggest catch of POW's 90000(after WWII) was traded with Pak without any consideration,Indira was in strong position to resolve the Kashmir issue once for and all but she missed the opportunity.......................

If India had resolved kashmir problem, the politicians would not have been left with any issue to use during elections! Terrorism, Religion, Caste... all these are hot topics for elections... no one would pay attention to politicians if these cease to exist. Development, Health and Education are non-issues acc. to the powers that be!
