Several leading columnists, editorials and eminent authors have recently given their opinion that it is better to give freedom to Kashmir. It not only gives a indication on the level of nationalism of English media but also their courage in adversity. Thankfully a diverse country such as India is not run by opinion polls and editorials. Since everybody has an extreme opinion on other community.
Those advocating separation are being plain stupid, ignorant about history or both. A separation of region will be result in bloodshed almost in same scale as partition. It is not as though just because there are protests in a region there will be a border redrawn and everybody going to work next day.
Kashmiris are spread across India. All colleges, districts, private sector companies have kashmiris. Should not they all leave? Soon there will be calls to throw them out whether they want to leave or not. Next, how do you identify a Kashmiri? Naturally Muslims will be targeted.
Questions will arise as to whether pseudo secularists such as Shabana Azmi are Kashmir? Bus/truck filled will bodies will cross the new border.
Kashmir does not have any food producing or manufacturing capacity. So there will be a new Gandhi in India who will go on fast asking for financial assistance etc to the new country. There will be boundary issues. There are several regions of Jammu district which have muslim majority who may align with Kashmir and visa versa. Kashmiri pandits have a long pending demand for separate region.
I don’t have the heart to write further, you may read a few books on partition such as – train to Pakistan, toba tek singh etc as there is a chance that history may be repeated.
And again the next generation of Indian Muslims is tainted as traitors!
