The way ahead is complicated, with no one able to show any flexibility due to accumulated inflexible positions. <br /><br />for Pak, it's a matter if survival. Having invested the entire nation building exercise on Islam and Kashmir, even an independent Kashmir us impossible to accept. Therefore, they first changed to demographics of PoK to make it more Punjabi and Salafist, Sunni so that the Shias in Valtistan could be subjugated. On paper, a separate region, no rights of privileges were given so that any movement towards independence could happen. If it did, brutally quashed. Sadly, India never highlighted this murder of human rights, nor spoke against it, unlike Pak which routinely makes it state policy.<br /><br />Kashmir, the valley is now virtually 'cleansed' of every other Community except Sunni who try to spread the Salakist thought. The same mosques that rabted against Kashmiri Pundits now speak of this, brutally shutting up anyone who shows any opposition. The Hurriyat is in the pay of ISI and cannot go against their diktats and actively promote them, from stone oeltibg to chanting if Pak slogans. The success of elections in one hand show the will if the aan junta, the success of vthe stone pelters show the sway, even if by fear if death, if the Hurriyat goons.<br /><br />India cannot accept independence, as it goes against the very concept of Indian nationhood.<br /><br />Perhaps the only answer is<br />1. Turn LoC into IB<br />2. Allow one time movement of people from one side to another, as per their choice<br />Chaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15624200720177044252noreply@blogger.com
