From what I feel, it's just a matter of time it happens.<BR/><BR/>@varsha - come on, who are you kidding? Please read this (especially the section '1947'): <BR/><BR/>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kashmir<BR/><BR/>The promsed plebiscite/referendum never happened. And we won't let that happen. Kashmir was a princely state, and it's accession to India has always been in dispute. Raja Hari Singh has indicated that the Kashmiri people's wishes must be taken into account before the accession. This never happened.Vamseehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16441308772573481002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020245.post-56623528486959313112008-08-29T11:24:00.000+05:302008-08-29T11:24:00.000+05:30Vamsee..Pack up and leave where??? Do you know Kas...Vamsee..Pack up and leave where??? Do you know Kashmir has an autonomous government? It has it's own constitution and a government body. If they want to they can feel free to declare independance.Why dont they do it? They are scared of a Pakistani infiltration. We have been protecting their borders for free just because they are a part of India. We are not holding them hostages. Infact we are providing them free security in return for nothing...<BR/><BR/>I agree when you say a country has to be free f they want to. In TIbet's case, yes there is a point in saying chinese should free them. But we have not fettered the kashmiris. We protetc them. There is a difference. We don't have to pack up and leave because we have never unpacked our bags in the first palce.Varshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16683368464213461774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4020245.post-4459370655951072022008-08-29T10:38:00.000+05:302008-08-29T10:38:00.000+05:30This won't happen for multiple reasons.

Secondly, if any politician even hints that the problems of Kashmir are different and perhaps deserves a relook, he/she can bid his career farewell.<BR/><BR/>This is not to say I support the separation of Kashmir at all. My limited knowledge of the topic and absolutely nil knowledge of the experience at ground zero would make anything I suggest irrelevant. However, I do think that we should take a moment to lean back and wonder if all this blood shed is really worth it.Prashanthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10688048557431809950noreply@blogger.com
