Re: Pakistan’s map
Brother, I am not saying that: ‘Pakistan should base standard on what India is doing’ … Actually, what I wrote in simple words is:
1: Accept line of control as international border, consider Kashmir issue as solved. That is, ‘Azad Kashmir, Gilgit and Baltistan as part of Pakistan’ and ‘Occupied Kashmir as part of India’.
[One solution that India would have no problem to accept … but it is unlikely that Pakistan army or Kashmiris would accept … Maybe, some politicians like Shareefs and Bhuttos would agree, but most Pakistanis and number of politicians would not agree]
2: Do not accept line of control as international border, consider Kashmir as an unfinished issue, future of Kashmir undecided, and work to get that unfinished issue sorted out so that future of Kashmir can be decided. This can be done … only with consent of India, Pakistan, (Kashmiris can be brought in to discussion too) and/or war.
2a: Ideally, sort out Kashmir issue through plebiscite accordance to UN resolution (seems unacceptable to India).
2b: Get to some mutually acceptable agreement to sort out Kashmir issue (Musharraf tried).
2c: Work for Independence of Kashmir as sovereign country (Musharraf proposed that too).
2d: Be ready for war if war becomes the only solution (Kargil was part of this option)
So … please read, try to understand, than think of the options available. Well, if you think of any other option, please put forward.
Note: As situation is, Unfortunately there is no option for Kashmir to become an independent country. Kashmir has to be part of Pakistan or India … but Kashmir could become independent country if both Pakistan and India decides.
