Re: Recod turn-our in J&K polls..
Mera bhai. You are angry and so you didnt read anything i posted. Whats the point of debating if you dont read? You nationalism shouldnt take control of your better sense or your humanity.
Read without your angry eyes. You missed what i said. The 1987 (and all elections prior) not 2002 elections had high turn out. This was just prior to the uprising. Another words, if high voter turn out meant the people of Kashmir accept India, then there would not have been an uprising against India in 1989. After the 1989 elections, it took this long, over 20 years, for voter turn out to return to such high levels.
The APHC is Indias bogey man. Pandits and APHC, its like every Indian has memorized the titles and spout them at every turn. Honestly, its like all of you read from the same script.
The APHC also took part in the 1989 elections, but refused to do so afterward because of the rigging that occured in 1989.
Your logic is just that… YOUR logic. I havent come accross a single Kashmiri who has made such a claim. I even provided you an article in which a Kashmiri himself says the same exact thing i am saying, that voting does not equate to acceptance of India. I have provided you an article in which a non Kashmir non Indian who has visitied occupied Kashmir and spoken to Kashmiris in the valley says the same thing, that Kashmiris have NOT accepted India despite having voted.
Yet here you are concluding something entirely different, and not providing any evidence, not a shred, to support it. Just because you claim something doesnt make it fact.
Think about this. I dont agree with the foriegn and certain domestic policies of the US. I dont like their policy towards Palestinians, I dont like the policy towards the middle east or South Asia. And yet I vote.
Now does voting mean I accept everything the US does? No!
Voting does not equate to acceptance, it simply means your voting.
If you want to know how the feel, ask them directly (assuming that is possible since Indian spies are apparently everywhere in Kashmir). A referandum that gives clear choices, yes or no stay with India or not is the only clear cut way to determine how people feel. Everything else is just wishful thinking.
