The Indian government says nearly 30,000 people have been killed in Kashmir in fighting since 1989. The human right groups put the toll at twice that number.
Dozens of people, many of them Muslim militants, die daily in the Indian side of Kashmir where New Delhi has been trying to quell a revolt against its rule for over 12 years.


I got this from one of your links.

Dozens of deaths each day. 30 (or maybe 60) thousand dead over the past decade. Plus, the conflict recently had a nuclear showdown. Wow, this is way bigger (in current and potential future human costs) than the Israel-Palestine conflict. Why does the Kashmir conflict get so little press attention in the West?

And where are the organized groups in the West calling for an end to India's illegal occupation of Kashmir? After all, isn't India's illegal occupation and its brutal treatment of Kashmiris the root cause of all this?

Where are the denunciations of India as a terrorist state? Now that America will be supporting India should America be attacked for contributing to India's violence toward Kashmiris?

And should we now blame the American-Indian lobby for all the lives that are being lost there..? I'm sure you'll agree this sounds fair, won't you?
