What is a Nation without territory,but an Idea.
To me in hindsight it seems that nothing more than territorial greed seems to be at the base of Indian-Kashmiri politics from 1947 to the present moment.
Worswick,of course it is all about territory.I mean what is the U.S without Texas,California, Arizona,New Mexio etc,or what is Israel without the West Bank,what is China without Taiwan,Hong Kong,Macau,and Tibet and on the same line what is India without Kashmir (hey the king guy acceded to the Union remember). So you are absolutely right in that it always about territory,unless of course one is satisfied with the idea of a 'banana republic' and then of course one can wait for the tourists to come and feed them.
Oh what is the use,I just stop now as these are topics of endless discussions and may lead no where.But I must say the discussions are nonetheless are fascinating.
PS: I wonder what the Pakistanis' take on Kashmir is, just as illuminating and contentious I am sure.<gg> |
