Essay on kashmir problem and its solution

Answer 1

the State of Kashmir has always been a bone of contention, an eye sore ever since India achieved its independence. The position at that time was that, all the Statesthat comprised India, and had been independent, had three clear options, available to them.The three options were that, either they accede to India, or accede to Pakistan. Thethird option was that they could remain independent of both India and Pakistan.While all the States did the needful the State of Kashmir took a unique turn, an eventful and an unprecedented turn. The then Prime Minister of India stated that, regarding the accession of the State of Kashmir the wishes of the people of the State would be taken into account, and not only the rules applicable to the other States.This condition gave the State of Kashmir a peculiar status which no other State had, toenjoy. This little declaration by the Prime Minister turned the tide of events for the State of Kashmir which, till today has not seen the light of an amicable solution.Taking full advantage of the declaration of the Prime Minister that, the people of Kashmir will decide their own fate, Pakistan has, all through these past fifty and odd years of independence of India been harping on the taking of an opinion poll in the State.This is so because, Kashmir has a Majority population of Muslims and, Pakistan is convinced and rightly so that, if opinion is taken, the Muslim majority will most certainly vote for the option of acceding to Pakistan.In the pursuit of this view only, Pakistan has been spreading terrorism in the State and ousting the Hindu Minority so that, the few non Muslim are also out of the scene of voting if the need arises.All through these fifty years of India's independence Pakistan is very clearly and methodically trying to lay their claim and rightful authority over the State, whether it iswith force, murder, or mischief. This means that, a little mistake in the past has caused and is causing havoc to the State and to the people of the State of Kashmir. Seeing no benefit accruing to it by small and far apart skirmishes of big and small magnitude for the last ten years Pakistan is trying to eliminate the minority of Hindusfrom the State by reigning terror in the State.They are training, financing and inspiring young men and sending them across the Indian border to spread fear in the State. The trainees are working under the guidance of hard-core Muslim terrorists to kill and plunder in the State.There have been talks and declarations a number of times but there seems to be no end of the continued struggle for the little State of Kashmir.After having dealt with the problem for fiftyyears, it is felt that, even to-day, the problem defies any solution, at least in the near future. The situation is in reality absolutely inflammable as, Pakistan continues to send Jihadist/terrorists to wreak destruction in the State.The plea taken by the Jehadis is that, they are fighting for their right of freedom. Indiahas all through these years sought to find asolution to the problem, which is amicable and mutually acceptable to all the parties involved. The latest attempt to find peace with Pakistan is the declaration of a unilateral ceasefire by India.Even to this step taken by India the Pakistani reply is not a follow up of a ceasefire by them but with guns and shells.To this sort of a situation where both parties to the struggle have their own styles of functioning, all solutions seem to obstruct any results.The policy of 'wait and watch' can only be the keyword to the Indian policy on Kashmir, let us see when Pakistan realizes the futility of a cold attitude towards its neighbor and its cold blooded revolt against India in the process of which, only innocent people are jailed, kidnapped and hacked to death.The net result of all this being a big zero - we remain as is where is even after fifty years of attempting for a solution.With this situation remaining for so long a period, it does not appeal to any reason that, relations of the two neighbors will ever improve. The relations are keeping on moving down the ladder of discontent and suspicion of each other, and there is nothing - just nothing achieved.
