Re: 16,000 Kashmiris Languishing in Indian Jails on Dubious Charges
There is only one Kashmir, 100% of which is unfortunately under Indian occupation. The areas Pakistan controls are parts of Jammu and Ladakh-Baltistan.
The figures on the demand for independence are from Indian-occupied Kashmir.
I could care less about trends in Jammu and Ladakh. In the last election, voter-turnout in the Kashmir region was around 15%. Moreover, your assumption it baseless. Making the best of a bad situation and voting isn’t tantamount to saying being a part of India is your ideal.

After safely clearing out the only people whose wellbeing they were actually concerned with, the Indian government was able to give its 700,000 armed barbarians free reign to murder, rape, and pillage as they saw fit…without fear of killing any Hindus in the crossfire.

Dumping a couple thousand Pandits in shantytowns and refugee camps for 20 years was an excellent PR move for the Indian government too…the government can publicly shed a few crocodile tears over their plight, and use it as justification for the genocide in Kashmir.
Just so you know…the British also already held a plebiscite in Northern Ireland back in 1973. Nearly 99% of voters opted to remain in the UK.

You Indians are honestly all the same…making the same inane accusation once you run out of substantive arguments. Whatever…your foolish accusations hardly change reality. Rest assured, the vast majority of Kashmir doesn’t think too highly of your country either…nor do they identify as Indians. Six decades of occupation haven’t changed the fact that when someone comes to Kashmir from Delhi or Mumbai, they’re still referred to as ‘having come from India.’
