So, according to you, if India gives Kashmir to Pakistan, and makes all Muslims convert or leave, that is okay? Would you really be okay with 150 million Muslims converting to Hinduism or Sikhism or Jainism or Buddhism? What if they migrate to Pakistan instead of converting. Can we absorb 150 million more people?
That is correct. We have absolutely no right/obligation to Indian Muslims. They had the chance to move to Pakistan in 1947, up till the 1950s but they chose to stay. They cast there lot with India. To this day, Indian Muslims hate Pakistan with passion, so why would we even CONSIDER them moving to Pakistan? If things get ugly for them in India, it will be an INTERNAL matter of India, just we Pakistanis don't want anyone to interfere in our domestic matters.
Kashmir, by its history and admission, is a bilateral issue. Pakistan was robbed of one of its core provinces during partition. From the dubious instrument of accession to India's illegal grab of Kashmir, to the consistent rebellion in the region, Kashmir is something near and dear to us. Even if Kashmir goes its own way (independence), we would be ok with that because we could work with the Kashmiri state.
I think that the article makes some valid points, but the Kashmir issue will continue to be an intractable problem between India and Pakistan. Unlike India, we don't have any expansionist dreams of grabbing Indian territory. Kashmir does not belong to India and if the issue is resolved we can go our separate ways.
