Just when you thought that UPAII was done screwing up, they pull out another one. What we have is a full blown Indian version of Intefada going on on Mrs. Sonia Gandhi's watch while we were thinking that J&K had finally come to terms with peace. Omar Abdullah was the Muslim Rahul Gandhi who would usher a new era in J&K. Ghulam Nabi Azad and his political clout (due to his closeness to the Royal Family) was supposed have been the magic wand to cure all ills. Secularism, unfair largesse at the cost of other infinitely more deserving states, peace initiatives with our friendly neighbors and extreme sacrifices and sufferings of Kashmiri Hindus were supposed to have solved this problem. I suppose we still are ignoring the obvious: the nature of the beast!! Unless we really get past all the political correctness and call the spade a spade, we cannot even begin to think solution. Knowing what we know about the Sonia Gandhi government, I'd sooner win the Pulitzer, Nobel, Booker and Oscar on the same day.
The following is an excellent article by Gaurang Bhatt who does not shy away from calling the sapde by it's real name.
Kashmir Options
"Nehru and Indira played games in Kashmir by crooked dealing with Abdullah and Indira screwed up at the Simla Treaty after the 1971 Bangladesh War by not dictating terms to Zulfikar Ali Bhutto, despite her victory and holding nearly 100,000 Pakistani prisoners of war. Her desire to hold power led to insurgencies in Kashmir and Punjab, with Pakistani mischief and US encouragement and conniving at Pakistan’s nuclear ambitions to teach the Soviets a lesson in Afghanistan.
Now India is suffering the consequences of the follies of the incompetent Nehru, Indira and Manmohan Singh., just as the US is suffering from the idiocy of Nixon-Kissinger (China), Carter-Brzezinski (Afghanistan-Pakistan mujaheedin), Reagan (Lebanon), Clinton (Somalia, Kosovo), Bush Jr. (Iraq-Afghanistan) and Obama-Clinton (Afghanistan-Pakistan-Yemen)."
