Kashmir from the Left

``There is no military solutions to Kashmir``. After three trails Pakis found out that. But we Indians do not want peace and development at the cost of Kashmir no matter what price we have to pay. Another 56 years of Terrorism in Kashmir, no problem our guns will boom in the valley if that is what Pakis want. One thing is very much crystal clear KASHMIR IS OURS AND IT WILL REMAIN THAT WAY. PERIOD!!!

Was any solution reached?

I cannot comment on the pakistani participants. I do find it amusing that not a single participant had any background from Ladakh, Jammu or from the Kashmiri hindu minority. But then, as far as the ``freedom fighters`` are concerned, they don`t exist do they? Once freedom comes they can also be ``freed`` and moved to camps to India. The Kashmiri pandits have already been s so liberated.

Naturally, we also find the reference to imaginary ``tens of thousands`` of refugees in Pakistan. This is reminiscent of our friend, HassanShah, who claims there are indian muslim refugees in Pakistan. Naturally when challenged (three times!), he is unable to give any documentation for the same. So bascially, we are dealing with an over-active imagination and a nasty sectarian one at that.

Finally, ``Ms. Angana Chatterji Professor, Social and Cultural Anthropology Program at CIIS``. An extreme left-wing nut, Ms. Chatterjee is famous for her disgust at America and Capitalism. She has publically stated that India must not follow ``American Ways``. Presumably, a stalinist or leninist path, laden with violence and murder would be A-OK. At the same time this dollar-grubbing opportunist lives in american and is on the payroll of the State of California. As an Indian, I denounce this type of extremist and view her with same suspicion that I would view VHP extremists or an islamist.

So good luck with your meetings. I am afraid they are thinly disguised propaganda forums.

...let the paki whining beging...hassan, urstruly, field marshall line up...all of you...and start and moaning...

``He spoke of the Kashmiri plight and that there was very little sympathy in India for the tens of thousands of Muslims pushed by conflict into the Pakistani side of Kashmir.``

Wow, is this true?

Have 10000 Indian kashmiris really migrated to Pakistan?
...or is this just masala added by our intrepid `Reporter Ras`.
