However dont you think your language is a little selloutish. Its very different from the way you write for your blog. Congrats for the first prize. I hope something like this is actually done.<BR/><BR/>-YESAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070362.post-75379405846043863322007-08-08T16:33:00.000+05:302007-08-08T16:33:00.000+05:30They said: "If Kashmir goes, every one will ask fo...They said: "If Kashmir goes, every one will ask for freedom and India will break up"<BR/><BR/>He said: "If everyone in India wants really an independent state its not worth saving the nation"<BR/><BR/>They said traitors like me should be killed and driven out of the country. <BR/><BR/>- Pappuman<BR/><BR/>Then, we all graduated, they all went to the US and say they will never return to India, which they think is screwed up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070362.post-45490974365258808632007-08-08T14:53:00.000+05:302007-08-08T14:53:00.000+05:30The really bold move would be to do what the India...The really bold move would be to do what the Indian Kashmiris want, with no linkage to PoK -since the referendum there is unlikely to ever happen. <BR/><BR/>I think I have said pretty much this before on dcubed commentspace (cry Freedom) but I didnt quite think it through then. The riders I would attach would be:<BR/><BR/>- any steps that are necessary to maintain the integrity of (the rest of) India in case Kashmiris choose to leave.<BR/><BR/>- safeguards /mechanisms for those Kashmiris that choose to stay with India (if the results are the other way, they are needed for those that chose to leave India).<BR/><BR/>- any steps to prevent Pakistan from stepping in to take advantage of such a situation.<BR/><BR/>- desirably a stable and friendly attitude towards us.<BR/><BR/>Effectively this would in all likelihood mean limitations or restrictions on 'sovereignty' even if it turns out that is what most Kashmiris desire.<BR/><BR/>I dont share your trust in the weight of public /world opinion amounting to anything much on the ground in Kashmir, anymore than it has in conflict zones like Palestine, Afghanistan, SriLanka etc.<BR/><BR/>regards,<BR/>JaiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070362.post-55677294940796496872007-08-08T13:11:00.000+05:302007-08-08T13:11:00.000+05:30Dilip, probably people of kashmir would choose Ind...Dilip, probably people of kashmir would choose India for all the reasons you stated. But somehow i don’t believe that Pakistan even after such a referendum would leave Kashmir and India alone. Referendum if anything may help India take a moral high ground, nothing more.<BR/><BR/>what do you think?Keerthi Kiranhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13708248553542941496noreply@blogger.com
