Many ideas on Kashmir and some good ones.
To begin with we want a solution rather than create another or new problem.
Demographic changes is going to be resisted even if all new fellows are hard core Muslims. The problem within Pakistan and division of Pakistan is in spite of religion. Ethnicity has its own grounds. The new revolt will be based on ethnicity.
India may be prepared to part away with Kashmir valley and retain Jammu and Ladakh if India gets / finds means of communication to Ladakh (like via Manali - khardungla). However, in spite of the threat and bluffs, that will be end of Kashmiriyat, that will be an end to Farooq Abdullah dreams, Mahboobas grand bakwas. Most of Azadi girls will be found in the pleasure houses in Lahore. It also does not solve problem of settlement of Kashmiri Pundits on their land. It would never be agreed to by Kashmiris themselves.
They simply want to follow the strategic legacy of Dogra Kings - stand alone and be independent in a way that they are able to exploit and extort India and Pakistan equally and keep farting in J&K while their cheeks gets reddish.
I think either we amalgamate POK and GB by retaking to add 22 more assembly seats to J&K or alternatively tell Valley beauties to go to Pakistan. Pakistanis hate them much more than Indians do.
What benefits is India getting from Valley? only a link to Ladakh. Valley itself has no strategic use. Jammu - Poonch and Ladakh are strategic areas. Hajipir can be part of Poonch and retained to control Pakistani access into valley. Let Farooq or Mahbooba be PM of 200 sq kms, which Pakistan would not allow. Kashmiris would not know what has hit them.
Keeping such blackmailer asses as part of India has no benefits.
Alternatively keep them under boots. That is no big deal and there are no great costs
What have they achieved by driving Hindu Pundits out of valley when due to that there are 20000 Hindu soldiers there for last 20 years to keep reminding of their misdeeds. No amount of terrorism or stone pelting can drive those soldiers out. However, one generation of Kashmiris is doomed and another is getting lost.
Azadi ...azadi ...azadi ..... my foot.
