Diet of mud and despair in Indian village

India has plenty of freshwater resources that originate outside of Kashmir. As for Pakistan, it neither controls Kashmir now, nor will it ever in the foreseeable future. It could enter into water-sharing treaties with an independent Kashmir the same way it has with India. In any case, I fail to see how an independent Kashmir would jeopardize the lives of all of Pakistan and India - if anything, the biggest threats to life and property throughout South Asia lie within Pakistan itself.

I agree. Let us part ways and be done with it.

With all do respect. The option of independance was never an option when the two countries were formed…

I however would not favor a complete union of Kashmir with Pakistan as things stand today.
The sole reason why I would not support the union of Kashmir wtih Pakistan is the fact that Pakistan has yet to get its house in order. Hence, as it currently stands, Pakistan can offer little more to Kashmiris in occupied Kashmir then the option of not being bludgeoned, as you put it, by an occupying army of Thousands.

But I see no reason why a Kashmir free of Indian domination, would not profit from a stable and prosperous Pakistan. Culturally, Kashmiris arent that far removed from Pakistanis. Im sure you share ethnicity with one group of Pakistanis or another. And as a Landlocked state, that is far better conected to Pakistan then to India, as far as I know, you would profit from having access to Pak.
