It has been always but least known on open sources, back then social media does not existed and only information is via journalists and news papers ..
In today's digital age, these people who are putting Palestine tactics in Kashmir is mainly for PR purpose through twitter, FB and streams, This is for showing uninformed masses that Kashmir is no different from Palestine so does gathering more support for their view, This tactics could not have worked in 90s ..
=================
Army is no ordinary institution, Don`t compare it with politicians or their politics, That is low ..
Don`t talk about thing you know nothing about,
this is your very personal opinion, Majority of Kashmiris living up on those hills are not even aware of article 370, Have you lived there to talk about them ?
This is our internal problem which has been started and fuel by outsides influences, This is simple and stupid to understand on first place, What happened centuries ago is now irrelevant as these changes cannot be undo but the present has to be taken care off with care, This is not a war we are fighting outsides our borders but insides which is more serious, Their are policies which were planted back then and now harming us, This is where we are at fault ..
Least you know that many of the projects are not completed due to terrorist threads, Terrorist are against development and many engineers and constructions are shot and killed, Many of them cheers looking at railway tracks as they never saw a train before even educated once, Those roads and bridges also help us to move around as well, Don`t get on knee jerking conclusions as you think you know all ..
I would be more concern about those making anti-Indian slogans at JNU at heart of India then stone pelters who participate for money and booze and guided by few ring leaders or wannabe jihadis ..
Also, Don`t behave like our people do in terrorist forum, quit your fighting attitude with your own fellow Indians, Their is not argument winning contest but pure logical and technical debates ..
What is difference from 90s is the local Arm cadre ready for kill and die. This includes college students, peasents or even Govt employee that too when Govt is wasting too much public money.
Tell me how many times did you see women and children forming a mob and throwing Molotov cocktail in the 90s ?"
Participating in Indian institutions like Army, Police, Politics does not attest their loyalty to the nation. That way, even Rahul Gandhi and Kejriwal can be said to be nationalist because they are participating in the government.
We can't keep ourselves in the dock forever where the Kashmiris are always in a position to keep asking us what we have done for them and we never get to ask them what they have done for the country. We have spent BILLONS of dollars in Kashmir, clearly, we get to ask a few questions to those rats as to why they are throwing rocks on our soldiers after taking so much aid from us? How can they be considered like any other state? does any other state receive so much unilateral aid? does any other state have rules which prohibit Indians from settling there? We have given too much pampering to these rats, and still they ask for more.
The fact is, they have shown, by their behavior that the only times there was peace in Kashmir was when the Dogras ruled them with an iron fist in the past and when RR crushed their morale in the 90's. They only respond positively to use of force. Everything else is fairy tale.
We weren't facing so many casualties even in the worst phase of militancy post 87. The Kashmir problem has nothing to do with Kashmir. They are invading hordes who came here from Central Asia a few centuries ago, they will not become polite just because you treated them well. The amount of money we have wasted in Kashmir building roads, dams, bridges, if we had spent in UP then UP would have become Switzerland by now.
