kashmir myths: there’ll be an independant kashmir

Posted by littleindian on October 28, 2007. |

continuing from kashmir myths: india refuses a plebiscite – 2

It was exactly 60 years ago,
on the 26th October, the princely State of Kashmir was invaded.
On the 27th, the ruler Hari Singh signed the Instrument of Accession.
By the 28th, Indian troops had landed to stop the invadors and the indiscriminate
looting, rape and plunder.

As is obvious that some Indians are STILL under ILLUSION
that Kashmir may indeed become independent one day.
And lend their “weak voice” in support.
There are some Kashmiris,
who may believe that Pakistan will help them become independent.
The world has been led to believe, Pakistan “morally” supports the Kashmiri
violence in the name of a fight for freedom.

The reality, unfortunately for Kashmiris, is very different,
For there is only ONE reality set out in the UNCIP Resolution of January 5, 1949.

The Choice for kashmiris

India, at the time of accession had promised that the future of Kashmir,
as set out in the UNCIP Resolution of August 13, 1948,
would be determined by the will of the Kashmiris.
Even if that meant complete independence.

But by January next year,
Pakistan had that amended to UNCIP Resolution of January 5, 1949
By which, there never was a third option; no choice for complete independence.

There was only TWO choices for the Kashmiris.
To exercise their “democratic” rights to,
EITHER lose those right in an ISLAMIC and MILITARY DICTATORSHIP
OR retain those rights in a SECULAR and DEMOCRATIC republic
for it was always a myth there would ever be an INDEPENDANT Kashmir

For the Kashmiri HINDUS and BUDDHISTS the choice was even more chilling,
EITHER spend THE rest of their lives
in an ISLAMIC STATE under a MILITARY DICTATORSHIP.
OR be ETHNICALLY CLEANSED out of their homeland Kashmir.

It has been sixty long years.
And nothing has changed. There is no third option.

To be continued

    Thanks for stopping by.

    India has tried to do everything by the book.
    Even at the cost of the Kashmiri Pandits, who lost their home land.
    That’s something I am still trying to write about.

    If you follow my kashmir myths articles, where I have been trying to follow the chronology of events, you will see how the anti-India propaganda has been fooling the world.

    We Indians are guilty of not knowing the Kashmir issue, and letting the propaganda take over, especially in the West.

  3. Hey .. I would have loved to hear about what i said in my post …
    personally I dont hate “a” people.. who ever they are but i despise their actions if they be sordid.And you are absolutely right in saying Indians are guilty … why ? because they say each one thinks his problem is huge for him..:)

  4. Hi Siddharth,
    I sure will read your article.
    I had a brief read, it was not enough to give it justice.
