I dont know how the Pakistani media get this idea from the polls that Indian’s are in favour of an Independent Kashmir. I have attached the link to the post .
Indian and Pakistani Publics Show Flexibility on Kashmir - World Public Opinion=
While 10% of Pakistani’s are not in favour of independent Kashmir, the percentage is much higher ( 50%) in India. So you cannot club the two together. There is very little acceptability to Kashmir being independent in India. While 53% of people in Pakistan want Kashmir to be independent, the figure is very low in India - 6%. I wouldn’t put much emphasis on "tolerable"numbers.
I can understand the wishfull thinking for Pakistani media, if we cannot get it then at least let India also not get it.
In the changed geo-political situation in the world, Paksitan has bigger problems to handle on their own. Kashmir has & will take a back seat as of now. With Betitulah Mehsud knocking on the doorsteps of Islamabad, the leadership in Paksitan will not like to start another front with India. In India also with the elections coming, no one is going to make any moves on Kashmir.
If Pakistan is really serious, then they should begin the process of having the entire Kashmir under their control (Azad Kashmir as well as northern areas) turned into an independent entity - to begin with. After all Independence to Kashmir is having a higher percentage in Pakistan. Once that is done, then it would lead to a changed scenario in India.
