A Mock Summit When was the last time Foqia talked to the shelterless about the Kashmir problem in the streets of India and pakistan. O, yes, he is talking about the money saved to rescue the unfortunate. The shelterless is heat-struck and looking for a shelter (water and food) from the relentless South Asia sun and doesn't have a thirst for a summit. The poor is too far away from any thoughts of summit. The illiterate couldn't care less. The unhealthy are in the hospital or too sick to think of Vajpayee-Musharaff summit. The unemployed is standing on unemployment lines or just merely sitting and swatting flies. The underfed is looking for the next meal. The educated, the intelligent and the plain disinterested don't think much of this summit. I wonder whether any High School kids are interested in conducting a mock summit. Autonomy with federal sovereignty is a solution that may work in a vacuum but not in real-life Kashmir. There are too many domestic and foreign armed elements to frustrate and destroy whatever peace that is wished on the Kashmiris. The wild card is the external elements coming into the valley fomenting trouble. What is worrisome is that the Indian muslims haven't voiced their strong opposition to the death and destruction in the valley perpetrated esp. by external elements. Pakistan cannot seriously seek a solution on religious basis alone. If the claim is based on religion, every muslim enclave in India should become a mini Pakistan. Tell that to the Hindutva elements. As Punjab cooled over years, Kashmir will take its time to cool down. -JPR the-hindu.com A view from Pakistan: Resolving Kashmir now By Foqia Sadiq Khan The poor, illiterate, unhealthy, shelterless, unemployed, underfed of India and Pakistan want the Vajpayee-Musharraf summit to be truly successful
