One question which comes into the common man's minds is "Is Kashmir worth the problems that India is facing"?
Year after years, every day the Indian Government is spending Millions of Rupees for upkeep of its security forces and to appease the people in the valley. Article 370 gives the people of Kashmir so much that can never be imagined in terms of advantage! On a recent visit to the valley, I found lots of developmental activities that were undertaken by the Ghulam Nabi Azad government for the benefit of the people in Kashmir. Everything is subsidised and to top it all, the entire valley is air-conditioned by nature which is a matter of envy.
The recent developments in the valley has brought in questions that needs to be answered not only by the government of India but also by the conscience of every Patriotic Indian. Kashmiris have a new name now-they are called "stone-pelters"! It is difficult to understand as to how young boys get killed all of a sudden in the valley and how the people can blame the security forces for such deaths? It is absurd and stupid to see and watch young boys, men and women come out on the streets to throw stones on the security forces who are our guardians at any point of time. These men are drawn to defend the honour of our country and have a special nische in the hearts and minds of the Indian people. It is disgusting to see people throwing stones on our jawans and police force and this is one of those rare occurring which one can not see in any part of the world! Our security forces have been instructed to keep their calm and lie low and take all those abuses and stones thrown at them by all and sundry in the valley. what a shame this is??
It is time that the government revokes article 370 and make the valley free for living by one and all. Adopt a policy of central government transfers in and out of the valley and encourage private business anywhere in the valley. Alternatively, give a free hand to the army and the security forces to finish off militancy and the people supporting it including the political leaders who instigate and ignite the sentiments of people to indulge in arson and looting and burning of the assets belonging to the state!
Proclaim President's rule and discipline the people. Issue identity cards and compel the citizens to carry it all the time so that the ones without the identity cards can be immediately identified as infiltrators and taken to task accordingly.
If all these things are not working, here is yet another solution for the Indian Prime Minister to adopt. Ring up the Pakistan Premier and tell him that India wants to be a happy neighbour and as a token of good will and appreciation, India has decided to give away Kashmir to Pakistan but on one condition that Pakistan has to accept the state of Bihar as well along with Kashmir!!! With this the present government can finish off two of its known trouble shooters and be at peace!!!????
India should act, must act now!!
