Seems they've lost innovation haven't they? Now they need the evil Hindoo India for winning elections as well. Sharif did it, Mushy did it and now IK is doing it. :lol:

A comparison of PoK and J&K

Kashmir on the Pakistani side of the line of control is predominantly agriculture-based, depending on farming, livestock
and related activities. Of the total cultivated area in the region, only 10 per cent is irrigated, compared with about 80 per
cent in Pakistan. The average farm size is only 1.2 hectares, as compared with 4.7 hectares in Pakistan. The average
annual per capita income in Kashmir is half of the national average. Industry is underdeveloped, with only 930 industrial
units, mostly in the private sector. There is no railway network. Road and air transport is the only means of
transportation. Per capita electricity consumption is around 232 kWh, as compared with 325 kWh in Pakistan. With
regard to health, as of 1999, there were 1,382 hospital beds in the province, averaging 0.46 beds per thousand persons as
compared with 0.67 in Pakistan.
In Kashmir (Pakistan), 13 per cent or 172,721 hectares of land is under farming. Agriculture is an important sector of the
Kashmir economy, providing livelihood to 84 per cent of the household. About 97 per cent of the farmers have less than 5
hectares of land and the farming system is based upon cereals and livestock production. The typical farmer has, on an
average, 1.2 hectares land in which 60 per cent of land is either under forest or wasteland, with only 0.47 hectares
constituting the farm size. Average household size is 7-8 persons. There is an intense population pressure that is already
evident in many areas.

Horticulture plays a vital role in the economic development of the state. With an annual turnover of over Rs. 300 crore, apart from foreign exchange of over Rs. 80 crore, this sector is the next biggest source of income in the state's economy.[58] The region of Kashmir is known for its horticulture industry[59] and is the wealthiest region in the state.[60] Horticultural produce from the state includes apples, apricots, cherries, pears, plums, almonds and walnuts.[58]

The Doda district has deposits of high-grade sapphire.[61] Though small, the manufacturing and services sector is growing rapidly, especially in the Jammu division. In recent years, several consumer goods companies have opened manufacturing units in the region. The Associated Chambers of Commerce and Industry of India (ASSOCHAM) has identified several industrial sectors which can attract investment in the state, and accordingly, it is working with the union and the state government to set up industrial parks and special economic zones.[62] In the fiscal year 2005–06, exports from the state amounted to Rs. 1,150 crore.[63] However, industrial development in the state faces several major constraints including extreme mountainous landscape and power shortage.[64]

The Government of India has been keen to economically integrate Jammu and Kashmir with the rest of India. The state is one of the largest recipients of grants from New Delhi, totaling $ 812 million per year.[65] It also has a mere 4% incidence of poverty, one of the lowest in the country.[65] In an attempt to improve the infrastructure in the state, the Indian government has commenced work on the ambitious Kashmir Railway project which is being constructed by Konkan Railway Corporation and IRCON at a cost of more than US$2.5 billion.[66] The Jammu & Kashmir Bank, which is listed as a S&P CNX 500 conglomerate, is based in the state. It reported a net profit of Rs. 598 million in 2008.[67]

Before insurgency intensified in 1989, tourism formed an important part of the Kashmiri economy. The tourism economy in the Kashmir valley was worst hit. However, the holy shrines of Jammu and the Buddhist monasteries of Ladakh continue to remain popular pilgrimage and tourism destinations. Every year, thousands of Hindu pilgrims visit holy shrines of Vaishno Devi and Amarnath which has had significant impact on the state's economy.[68] The Vaishno Devi yatra alone contributes Rs. 475 crore to the local economy annually.[69]

Tourism in the Kashmir valley has rebounded in recent years and in 2009, the state became one of the top tourist destinations of India.[70] Gulmarg, one of the most popular ski resort destinations in India, is also home to the world's highest green golf course.[71] However with the decrease in violence in the state has boosted the states economy specifically tourism.[72]Year Gross State Domestic Product (in million INR)

And the real reason why Pakistan is so crazy about Kashmir - nothing to do with "Kashmiri brothers" or Islamic Jihad or "religious values" - it is simply a greed for resources - natural resource like Hydroelectric power and clean water of the indus river systems.

Though this region is well endowed with water resources, it is marginally irrigated. Worse, hardly any development
projects have been envisaged. Apart from lack of development, the province also suffers from manipulations. Its
resources are tapped, but the region is not duly compensated. The Mangla dam, constructed in Mirpur has revolutionised
agriculture in Punjab, but at the cost of Kashmir's deprivation. The Mangla dam, a major asset to the region, irrigates the
canals in Punjab and also generates electricity. This dam supplies 20 per cent of the hydro-electricity needs of Pakistan.
However, till early 2003, the province had not received any royalty for the electricity generated from Mangla dam.
NWFP, however, has been receiving due compensation for the electricity generated from its Tarbela dam.
In late 2002, during General Musharraf's regime, it was decided to raise the height of Mangla dam by another 30 feet to
1,264 feet. This issue had long been under dispute due to objections from Kashmir. It was feared that by raising the dam,
around 44,000 persons and 8,000 households in Kashmir would be displaced, and the district of Mirpur would be
submerged.
Following the federal government's decision, Kashmiris organised several protests. Though the water authorities
assured building a new city adjacent to Mirpur for the project-affected people, the locals are not inclined to trust the
authorities and almost all the political parties in the province opposed to the project.
To appease the government in Kashmir, Pakistan decided to pay royalty to the province for the electricity generated
from Mangla dam. It was also decided to charge domestic consumer electricity rates, as against the prevailing bulk
rates, which are considerably higher.
Whilst the debate was on between WAPDA and the Kashmir government over the issue of tariffs and royalty, the
Pakistan government proposed to bring the Mangla dam territory under the federal jurisdiction, which would have
deprived Kashmir of its constitutional rights to claim net profits from Mangla Dam power station and fishing in the
lake. However, this proposal did not materialise and finally, by end-June 2003, Kashmir and WAPDA managed to
reach a compromise over the issue based on receiving a royalty of 50 paise per unit of electricity generated, more
compensation for the people displaced and a reduction in electricity tariffs. Though the AJK government accepted
the package, the people of the province did not receive this proposal well, and agitations against the project
continued. By late 2004, the agitations slowed down temporarily, and Pakistan government was pumping in funds to
aid various development projects in the region. The lull in protests can be partially explained, as the construction
has not yet started. The Pakistani authorities fear resurfacing of protests once construction of the dam commences.

No army has been able to solve any country's problems at any time," he said to cheers from his supporters.
Yeah this is 110% true for Pakistani army.

"I want to tell Hindustan that the 700,000 troops you have kept among the Kashmiris.
we have 12,00,000 troops in active service, if 7,00,000 is only in Kashmir, then we have IB and China border to take care. At the rate your are claiming in Kashmir, we should have 10,00,000 troops in comparison at North East states. Plus troops need to spread across the country for security reasons. That means we dont have sufficient troops in the country. Khan you are out of your mind. May be you your self has come to Kashmir to count our troops (if this is case man you are bad at maths).


Imran, if you would have taken history lesson of all the war with us from 1947, 1965, 1971 and in Kargil war, Kashmiris have never raised their voice against us, as they consider themselves as part of India, Kashmeries have whole hearted supported their own Indian army.


you guys have failed to take kashmir through military, through terrorists, through all the nonsense in all the world forum, how long you guys would continue to give your own countrymen lollipop of Kashmir instead give them development and remove the tag of worlds exporters of terrorist.

Hey guys Imran Khan is a poor guy who is trying make some political gain and promotion for his party. Let him tell what ever he wants. His own people in Pakistan are not much bothered about him, why should we be bothered. See, even though Pakistan has got its nose cut several tines still they say that Pakistan has defeated the INDIAN ARMY in the 1971 war, to their people. During the 1971 war when INDIA conquered almost the whole of Pakistan and were reaching Lahore, the radio in Pakistan was saying that the Pakistanis have crossed the border and are heading to Delhi and that Pakistan has defeated INDIA. This is a well known fact.

Coming to the question of Military power, I think INDIAN ARMY is far superior to US ARMY in handling the pakistan and afghanistan terrain and the terrorists. This was proved by INDIA during the conflicts against pakistan previously. We had conquered most of the country of pakistan in just 10 days during the 1971 war and the Americans have been fighting for 10 years and achieved a very little compared to what the INDIAN ARMY achieved in the 1971 war. This shows that having the latest technology and highly sophisticated toys is of no use until the soldier is trained properly.

ISI taking lessons from its sponsorship during the soviet-afghan war decided in 1989 to use same strategy on India to get Kashmir. For many top brass of Pakistani army direct confrontation was useless hence they wanted to bleed India with "thousand cuts" they wanted to replicate their experience in Astan here in Kashmir.

What they fail to foresee in their strategy is that :

1-Soviet were not driven by Afghan rebels but by its crippling economy while India if during its worst days of early 1990s when its economy was in sh!t then it did not withdraw then why IK thinks that things will change now when the Indian army is going through massive upgrade..

2- Unlike Soviet which were fighting in a foreign country there is practically no argument that Indian army is fighting for preserving the country territorial integrity

Finally its the requirement for a Porkis to continually spew venom on India nothing new in that. what IK need to do is to grow a beard and join mullah then he'll get the support he's dreaming of :)
