Second opinion: What they think in Srinagar

Khaled Ahmed’s TV Review

If you watch the Indian TV channels, the Kashmiris love India but are being coerced by the ‘terrorists’ from Pakistan. If you watch the Pakistani channels, anyone other than the loyalists within the Huriyyat Conference is a ‘kath-putli’. There is however a third way of looking at things

The BBC shows that there is genuinely indigenous trouble in Kashmir and that it is wrong to say that Pakistan has instigated the uprising. It can however be said, suggests the BBC, that Pakistan has helped prolong the crisis. But it is difficult to say whether India could have handled the problem right if Pakistan had not ‘interfered’. There is no doubt, however, that it is now handling it wrong and blaming it all on Pakistan. The people are alienated from India; and the BBC has reflected that faithfully by going to Srinagar. The Kashmiris have given their opinion. Who will give in? Unfortunately, however, the BBC discussion may encourage Pakistan to carry on if India is unwilling to relent.
