When I read the news about Kashmiri leaders calling for independence and Indian politicians discussing how to silence them, I can't help but relate the situation to the Indian fight for independence. I struggle for reasons why the Kashmiri struggle is any different.
The reactions of the for and against media is similar.
There are extremists on both sides.
Some of the extremists receive help from foreign interests (remember Subhash Chandra Bose receiving help from Japan!)
There are the moderates of course on both sides.
The British were firmly in control of India till the end of the second World War so going by history, it's just a countdown till India faces a major economic recession.
I hope Kashmiri History text books are not banned in India :D
