Another difficulty is India's nationalist groups, which pretty much dominate politics today, even to the extent of brain-washing the so-called educated folks. More and more it is becoming apparent that the only way to keep India intact, is to create enemies and stay focused on hating that enemy. However, this will only delay the day of the final reckoning. The pressure within the tinderbox is becoming too much with each passing year.

Hi: Yes, what you said before is what you say now. Chinese still do entertain territorial acquisitive thoughts. China has population pressure and much of it is not arable. That being so, they will naturally keep looking for greener pastures. Acquisition of independent Kashmir without a matching military is a cakewalk; Moreover, China has to have buffer states between its land mass and other countries; in this instance, Kashmir will serve as a buffer state, south of the border. UN Security Council will act after the fact and can't project the military might it needs to displace the entrenched troops. Independent Kashmir is not good for India's secular credentials and territorial integrity. Checking on the ground reality, Indians don't seem too enthused to give up even an inch of land in Kashmir, what may come including a long nuclear winter.
