...we don't have an alternative because the very essence of kashmiriat, the very existence of kashmir and its people lies with India.

i was born and raised there and seen the life closely.

I would also like to clear few things.

Not all people of Jammu and Kashmir are called kashmiri. there are dogra's and Ladakhi and not everyone speaks kashmiri. this is sad demise that the identity of the minority has been hijacked and taken over by the kashmiri.

having said that we (kashmiri, dogra's and ladakhi)are not aggressive people

Don't find it offensive this is just to make things clear. I don't hesitate filling in my nationality as Indian as

....i am proud of it and i dont have to care about my religion and even think twice filling that form.

....I knew there was something wrong in the state when in late 80's kashmiri pandits started filling into jammu and migrant camps started coming up.

.....those were my brothers who were asked to leave there homes by fundamentalists.

I am not saying or defending army/crpf or any other defence force.You say that you saw the crackdown by non kashmiri militants.

when these were not Kashmirs.when they were not fighting for our cause.why they were allowed to take charge make decisions.

I too have a different opinion from the rest of my friends who are your so called mainland india but my india.

i do question the way things are carried and it has been shameful i am not supporting armed forces neither i am supporting militants.

I respect your opinions but it takes two to tango.:).

When we start politics based on religion things get ugly and this is what is the problem of kashmir.

The day 700,000 Kashmiri pundits were thrown and asked to leave Kashmir, so called freedom struggle lost its purpose. it became a religious agenda of Pakistan and fundamentalists.

The question is you ask about freedom but do you ever ask about the Pakistan occupied kashmir and china occupied kashmir (Aksai chin).

I will respect your freedom movement when you say pakistan leave POK china leave Aksai chin let we be together again you dont even care about the other two parts.

dont they deserve the right to freedom dont we deserve to be again 1 complete state.

You gave example of Bhagat Singh he was a martyr who sacrificed his religion cut his hairs.and called britishers leave india.

He didnt kill hindus,muslims,sikhs or even christians or asked them to leave punjab.The day kashmiri pundits were killed Sikhs were killed and asked to leave.

The respect that a martyer command was gone and those people become terrorist and militants.

.India protects our right by granting us special status(Article 370) not allowing the indian to permanent settle so that we can maintain our identity.

i dont think that status of minority,kashmiri pandits,the dogra's or ladakhis will be protected by pakistan or the separatists.

you say that we dont have an alternative other than india.that is true not because you can come to mainland india for study purpose or .

there are many kashmiri leaders who are married to pakistanis.

if marriages can happen training of terrorist can happen in Pakistan movement of people is not a question.

Why we don't have an alternative is because the very essence of kashmiriat, the very existence of kashmir and its people lies with India.
