Kashmir's Road To Freedom

There is a lesson for New Delhi in the lines from George Bernard Shaw's The Devil's Disciple, set in colonial America during the Revolutionary era:

"And now, General, times passes; and America is in a hurry. Have you realized that though you may occupy towns and win battles, you cannot conquer a nation?"

This encapsulates the spirit of the Kashmirir people and their demand for Azaadi [freedom].

[An excerpt from a paper writte by S. Iftikhar Murshed, an Ambassador of Pakistan and Islamabad's former pointman for Afghanistan in the 1990s. Read his insightful paper here.].

  1. I honestly and sincerely hope that Pakistanis will sell us Kashmiris no further and Musharaff's stupid 4 point formula type shit will be trashed. As Musharaf is making a comeback to Pakistan politics, a lot of Kashmiris who view Musharaff as nothing but a great traitor to the Kashmir cause are very very skeptical.

    Please do not weaken our trust in you any further.

  2. If Kashmiris demand for independence which is the only possible solution left of the issue. As far as UN resolutions are concerned Pakistan is aggressor and for implemetations of resolutions Pakistan will have to pull back her armed forces, civilians and tribals( See UNCIP Resolution 13 Aug 1948). Both India and Pakistan should pull back her thier armed forces and handover the state to its people. After 15 years let there be a referendum asking people to decide the future of thier country.....remain independent or accede with India or Paksitan.

  3. I am for Kashmir Independence. The first step in that direction is that Kashmiri's must check their leaders like Sheikh Abdullah and its decendents, the traitors. They do not participate in elections and become a united nation, eliminating the traitors Farooq Abdullah. This will show that Kashmiri's are capable to turn the history.
