William, I would be curious to know why freezing the LoC does not interest you. What you suggest would not serve the aspirations of the original Kashmiris. Between 1947 and now, most of the original residents have been forcibly driven out of Kashmir by insurgents and terrorists moving in from Pakistan across the LoC. Plebiscite was relevant in the 1947 to 1950 time frame. It is irrelevant now. So the solution is to freeze at the LoC. I haven't heard that India is pressing for Pakistan held Kashmir. Why is Pakistan pressing for Indian held Kashmir? And then after Kashmir, what Indian territory will Pakistan press for next? It has to stop and the best is to stop it at the LoC. Any thoughts?

Perceived Threat of China in Kashmir precludes independent Kashmir Hi: I understand that you are for Kashmiri independence; that is good in a perfect world; everybody seems to have forgotten the Chinese factor. China has occupied the land that once was Kashmir; that landmass (looks like a boil in one's head) of Kashmir sticks into the land mass of China. Since China has an access to Kashmir, the Chinese military will be in Kashmir in no time, since the independent Kashmiris have no military to resist the Chinese military and India and Pakistan cannot interfere with the independent Kashmir or China. No power on earth can dislodge the Chinese military once it has a foothold in the valley of Kashmir. Pakistan's very struggle to free the Kashmiris is futile in this context, once the Chinese decide to take Kashmir and since the Pakis are a client state of pakistan. It will be Tibet all over again. The Jihadists, who have no sense of history, have no idea of this consequence. Once the Chinese are in Kashmir, the jihadists will be ruthlessly slaughtered and there will be Chinese settlements in Kashmir. Kashmir culture will come to an end. The Chinese military will be seated on the northern door of India and it is not good for India. Now you see the logic why India would not let go of Kashmir, come what may including nuclear hell. Once the kashmiris get their own country, the Assamese, the Punjabis, the Tamils, the Telgus would want their own countries. India is not going to let that happen.

Frankly, I would suggest asking the British to come back, for that is the only hope for the oppressed masses (Just who are the Indian soldiers that go and die in Kashmir? -- not the table-thumping, chest-beating RSS bigots, but some poor lower-caste persons for whom joining the army is the only way out of poverty). But unfortunately, the British might not be interested now. India is now probably as big a mess as it was when the British first took over. They might not want to do the clean-up job all over again!
