I'm Kashmiri, not Pakistani. And I've witnessed the downright colonial attitudes of your countrymen firsthand...so spare me.

So we have to believe that, dont we?

@janab-e-ali

A 2007 survey (conducted by an Indian agency) found that 87% of Kashmiris want independence. The much touted 2002 MORI survey (funded by an Indian, conducted by an American research agency) found that only 9% of Kashmiris wanted Indian citizenship [13% wanted Pakistani citizenship, the remaining 78% didn't want either].

Which part of Kashmir, POK or Indian Kashmir. there was 48% of polling reported from Jammu and Kashmir election. This is normally a good turnout. So I have to believe that at least half the people wanted to be with India.

So I quote u "
Not that this will silence you...I'm sure you can cook up some other excuse to parrot now."

@janab-e-ali

They left because they felt unsafe, and because the Indian government encouraged them to do so. Omar Abdullah's own father, the BJP-affiliated Farooq Abdullah has gone on record saying that Governor Jagmohan was behind the exodus.

In any case, the 209 figure comes from your own police forces, not some militant group.

Why would Indian government encourage them to do that. They would have encouraged them to have more children or populate the valley with Indians from other states. Why would they want to drive the Pandits out.

@janab-e-ali

By most indications, a majority of people in Northern Ireland (around 60% or so) support remaining in the UK, which is hardly the case in Kashmir.

hearsay again.!!!!
