If you Know the problem then and only then you are able to find solutions.

Yes We do. But We need to make our choice That's something we have been putting on
the back burner for quiet some time.

Absolutely Agreed. No argument there.

Again Well Said. 3 cheers for Your Boldness.

Sorry Wrong Number. Why would we want to do that ? Why would we want to give the
POK to them on a platter ? IF you have fergotton, please let me remind you that It
is in POK that China Built that Highway under the name of Silk route. This is the
highway that was helping Them during Kargil Conflict.

And Why is that ? Why not get down ti the plains of POK and make a border there ?
That way your concern for our armed forces will be more than satisfied !!

> 8) 80% of our defence budget goes to Kashmir and Pak and China.

Because They are the security threats. During cold war 100 % of the american
defence Budget went towards Soviet Union ! Also When 200 % of the PAkistani Budget
and Chinese Budget goes towrds Defence than our 80 % is peanuts. Ever heard of
Tibet and its freedom movement ? The part of he chinese Budget that goes in there
?

> 9) Is rest of India OK? No. Size and ego hardly matters.

There is no EGO as you call it here ! It is national PRIDE which Keeps those
Jawans in that place in the mountains. It is the PRIDE that keeps The Chinese to
maintain armed Forces on the Border of Mangolia under even harsher conditions. As
far as the rest of the India is concerned, The armed forces are not required to
maintain law and order problems. For that the POLICE and the CRPF at the worst are
more than Enough.

> 10)Let this ego problem on Kashmir stop once and for all. India occupied
> kashmir is part of India.

Please allow me to correct here. There is NO INDIA OCCUPIED KASHMIR. All  I know
is the PAKISTAN OCCUPIED KASHMIR.  And Once again, There is no EGO but the
NATIONAL PRIDE which you might be confusing for ego. Kashmir is a INTEGRAL PART of
this country. That includes the POK as well.

> 11) If this decision leads to the fragmentation of states, then so be it.

This one sounds like coming from a  western Reporter who would love to report
another Balkan so that Big Brother can poke His Big Fat nose in it.

> Those who condemn history are bound to repeat it.

Yes that's True. The History of the Two wars is waiting for a Hat Trick.

> 12) Once kashmir goes, all the militants will lose interest in india.

Are you possibly fergetting The LTTE ? or the BODO LAND ? North Eastern
Terrrorists ? They have absolutely no interest whatsoever in Kashmir problem !!

Yes I might be writing an e-mail because I can't go and Join. Those who are
stationed there are doing so of their own will ! That comes from something called
National Pride. This is the same thing that made UK go and fight in south
Atalantic with Argentina. That area is not paradise either.

> Give the thing away.

Would you mind cutting one of your hands or legs and give it away ? This May sound
a little harsh to you. But that is how I felt whe you said what you did.

> 14) Let us concentrate on Rest of India.

Yes We definitely are concentrating! Otherwise there won't have been an Economy
like Pakistan.
