I am not a big fan of jihad as in taking up arms for whatever reason. If we must do jihad it should be against the growing intolerance, backwardness and corrupt attitudes in our society or against poverty and illiteracy etc.

In an ideal world Kashmir (both Azad and Jammu) should be a free country but that seems impossible because of India’s intransigence and ‘ana’ and Pakistani establishment’s own intransigent attitude (it is a political game as well because otherwise they will lose relevance). We do not feed a large army so they can waste our money on “developing world class housing societies in Gujranwala, Bahawalpur and Multan…” Army should work within its constitutional ambit. Besides in no other country in the world will you find national army running parallel business projects such as defence housing schemes!!! (quoting Kakaballi above)

Commonsense dictates that Pakistan cannot win Kashmir by force. India is a huge country with a big army. IMO both countries should just declare the line of control as the permanent border. Instead of buying weapons same money should be spent on human development: alleviating poverty, providing better health care and educating the masses in both countries.

The best we can expect from India (and I know it is a big ask) is that they treat the Kashmiris with humanity and dignity. Just like Israel is a reality (no matter how much some people might foolishly deny it) and the best we can hope from them is to respect the Palestinian autonomy (in whatever small piece of land they have) and treat pilgrims to Al Aqsa mosque with humanity and respect. Palestinians for their part should focus on providing good governance in the land they have now rather than simply being obsessed with getting more and more land. The rest of the world might start listening to the Palestinians & paying more attention to their cause then.

Hari Singh didn’t decide to join India till that day when my father conquered Srinagar Power House , (My father was an ordinary JCO only)
