Med911,
it’s nice how you don’t bother reading my comment at all well when i say that the kashmiris make up only a small section of the total population of j&k and when i say that other ethnic groups/religious groups exist as well with varying views. and yes about the referendum, that’s been discussed to annoying amounts online, by the politicians themselves on both sides, by the kashmir issue experts. nothing comes of such things b/c:

when you add in all the mega amounts of corruption that exists in the state and all the horrible events that have taken place including the fake encounter killings and some of the other corrupt actions that have taken place by all sides pakistanis and the rich kashmiri muslims of the valley included as well as the fact that the huriyat leader is on the payroll of both india and pakistan, how exactly is the situation like how it was in the 40s and also when you take into consideration all the geographical changes that have occurred on the other parts of this whole piece of land of j&k

situation is totally f-ed up. it will keep being that way just like the Israeli Palestinian situation b/c it’s too complicated now

I did read everything you said Nisha. Your saying the situation is complicated. I get that, but what next? Your not offering a solution, your just stating the obvious.
Im not talking about Kashmiri ethnic group. Im talking about people who live in Kashmir, and hence are considered Kashmiri.

My point is simple. Regardless of the complexity, at the end of the day, the situation as it stands is untenable. You cannot continue with the way things are. Ultimately the solution, whatever form it takes, will have to involve taking into account the aspirations of the Kashmiri people. If that means the majority opinion is the one that is accepted, then so be it. This may be a complicated step, but not unworthy.
The technical aspects of all this can be worked out, but ultimately, it will mean everyone will have to compromise, with the oppinion of the Kashmiri majority being paramount.

The claim that its to complicated for a solution sounds like a cop out to me. Complicated situations deserve complicated negotiations, and perhaps complicated resolutions, but I hope your not saying we should simply ignore the issue.
