Calling the Kashmir bluff
Let us start with the basics. Repeal special autonomy under Article 370. Why on earth these ungratefuls be treated special? Treat them as bad as rest of India is treated but still yearn for Indian nation.
Withdraw the forces that are in the internal duties. Why innocent blood should be shed. Let the Kashmiri’s handle terrorist on own. Let the forces concentrate on the border.
Allow the trucks with apples got to Muzaffarabad. And no, don’t bother giving them protection. Let them go and find out how the prosperous Pakistani occupied Kashmir and so called Azad Kashmir are.
Why should Indian Army protect the Kashmiri women folk and earn the blame of rape? Let these women go to Muzaffarabad and get sold to the vice dens next earthquake.
Why should Indian Army kill these so called Kashmiri terrorists? It’s a waste. Let Muzaffarabad sell their organs and make some money next natural disaster.
Why should the Indian Army protect Kashmiri’s? Let the Kashmiri’s go to the Muzaffarabad and get protected by Pakistani forces that are running away at first sight of a Taliban. Let the powerful Pakistani Army which if not for alms from Americans would have looked under equipped and under moralled compared to the Taliban.
Why let the Kashmiri’s feel oppressed by Indians? Let them go to Muzaffarabad and get oppressed by Pakistanis and Taliban.
Why should Indian army restrain firing at terrorists in crowded places? Let the Kashmiri’s die in public places in Muzaffarabad. They can even migrate to Pakistan and get killed in bomb blasts.
Why should Kashmiri youth come to rest of India for prosperity and escape violence? Let them go to Muzaffarabad and find freedom in madrassas and terrorist training camps.
Why India should facilitate tourism in Dal Lake, Let Muzaffarabad facilitate terrorists to Dal lake.
By all means, let them go. Who cares anymore?

Indeed, the questions raised are very much relevant to what we are seeing today in the valley of Kashmir. I have been reading newspapers and media reports which appear very much skewed.
It is an issue we have been fighting on since last couple of decades. India has lost money, peaceful mind during all this process. Despite of helping people in Kashmir, we are looking at the anti-indian slogans so openly. I pity the government of India on being silent over this issue with a fear.
It is also understood that some strong separatists have influenced the people in kashmir to demonstrate against their own country. In the interest of country and human rights, we must leave this in the hands of people of Kashmir to decide their fate. But at the same time, we should strongly catch a hold on the borders to resist fiercely any further breaches.
Although India is a progressing country but the tendency to keep a blind eye towards crisis has been there since eons.
Let go Kashmir in the hands of separatists and separatist supporting countries. Their fate will surely turn them back to India seeking mercy and forgiveness. Yes, we are famous to forgive even the worst mistakes and we will !!

Pertinent questions have been raised but leaving the internal security to the stupid, bemuddled, directionless and ungrateful Kashmiris is like throwing pearls before swines.
These Kashmiri pigs and their counterparts across the border would slaughter one another but the major problem for India would be the spillage into the north Indian States.
With India not being able to handle the jihadi SIMI and other known terrorist outfits, why add on another headache?
Just make their leaders sympathetic to the terrorists disappear into thin air and the others would get the message loud and clear.

The BBC news website shows upto 7 different scenarios for a final solution to to Kashmir. One of these shows Jammu & Leh hived off a much reduced Valley - which is then to given autonomy or be put under joint Pak & Inida control, or be given azadi. This is quite a reasonable solution to get rid of these ‘Nam** Har**’ who have fattened on Indian goodwill & Largesse!
As to loss of territory, we could insist on so called ‘AK’ be united with the truncated valley under joint control or any of the other mechanisms. Then let us make Pakistan look after the security of this region shedding their own blood and money!
Than let us seal the border and let them enjoy azadi. Also confiscate all the property of these traitors which they have in India proper!

Very well thought article. It makes sense to take the bluff. We need to let the trouble makers go. There will be a large majority tha will want to remain inside India. Jammu, Ladhak etc. Let the Kasmiris go to hell.
Here is another solution posted by Balraj Puri ( Director, Institute of Jammu and Kashmir Affairs, Jammu) in Tribune edits:

Some exercises to ensure internal harmony in the state have been made in the past. In 1952 when Pandit Nehru and Sheikh Abdullah were discussing safeguards for the state within India, I was able to persuade both of them to ensure similar safeguards for the regions within the state. Both declared at a joint Press conference on July 24, 1952, that the constitution of the state would provide for regional autonomy.
Though initially the Bharatiya Jana Sangh opposed the Delhi Agreement, which guaranteed autonomy to the state, and started an agitation against it through its Jammu affiliate, Praja Parishad, after prolonged correspondence with Pandit Nehru, the founder-president of the Sangh, Dr Shyama Prasad Mukerjee, in his letter dated February 17, 1953, offered to withdraw the agitation and support the Delhi Agreement provided “the principle of autonomy will apply to province of Jammu and to Ladakh and Kashmir Valley”.
A 45-page draft document on the provisions of regional autonomy was sent by the state government to Durga Dass Verma, the underground leader of the Praja Parishad who approved it. On July 2 Parishad leaders were released and invited to meet Pandit Nehru on July 3 where they agreed to withdraw the agitation on the terms Mukerjee had suggested.
The proposal was also supported by Sarvodya leader Jayaprakash Narayan, leftist parties and the socialist groups. The state People’s Convention, convened by Sheikh Abdullah in 1968 and attended by 300 delegations of the entire political spectrum of the valley, unanimously accepted my draft on internal constitutional set-up of the state which provided for autonomy to the regions and further devolution of power to districts, blocks and panchayats.
In my report, as head of the Regional Autonomy Committee, appointed by the then Chief Minister Farooq Abdullah, I elaborated the same proposal after discussions with each and every section of the state and consultations with leading political and financial experts of the country.
The report suggested division of subjects between the state and the regions. The latter would have legislative, political and administrative powers on subjects delegated to them. The lower tiers were to be empowered more or less on the pattern of Panchayati raj in the rest of India. The report also dealt with cultural safeguards for all ethnic communities.
For financial allocation to various levels, an objective and equitable eight-point formula was suggested which included population, area, road mileage in proportion to the area, female literacy, infant mortality, share in government jobs as the percentage of population, admission to technical institutions as the percentage of population and contribution to the state exchequer.
This blueprint could be the basis for a wider debate to arrive at a consensus. In any case, the present over-centralised system would continue to generate suspicion in one region against the other and is not conducive to solving even short-term problems. Already an agitation has started in both regions. While the Jammu agitation slogans seek an end to discrimination, the revived Kashmir agitation has the usual slogans of the separatists. Nowhere the land to the Shrine Board has remained the main or the only issue.
