^ Hmmmm...I wonder if you're this keen on rationalizing/justifying the use of brutal suppressive measures against an entire people in order to maintain the territorial integrity of a nation when it comes to the E. Pakistan issue. I know the situations aren't exactly analogous...after all, the Bengalis actually chose to join Pakistan back in 1947 and were never under illegal occupation per se...but I still doubt you're this understanding when it comes to the Pakistani government's attempts to bludgeon the Bengali separatists into submission.
Janab there is no comaprison between the situation in East Pakistan and Kashmir. There is much more political space in Kashmir then was ever there in East Pakistan.
Even if you compare the violence levels, there is no comparison. The brutal repression used in East Pakistan has no comaprison. The number of police and army personal of Bangla origin killed by own army has no precedent. Not to mention the way the local populance was brutalized.
That is teh irony ...... Bangla people willingly joined Paksitan and look at the way they were treated ....... as second class citizens in their own country. That is my point for people who claim that Kashmir should join Pakistan, why do they think they would not be treated the same way as the Bangla's !!!
