Barack Obama's Kashmir thesis!

Singapore, November 3:: As Obamamania grips much of the world, including India, the man who might become the next President of the United States has ideas on Jammu and Kashmir that should cause some concern to New Delhi. Given its vastly improved relations with the United States and Pakistan, India has no reason to pr  ....Read more

Obama is a muslim and highly inexperiencedBy: n.krishna | Tuesday , 4 Nov '08 4:12:48 AM Reply | Forward Obama was hiding his muslim parentage by omiting his middlename Hussain. But his thinking is that of a muslim. Like the Kerala muslims who are now fighting for separate Kashmir of which some are killed recently, Obama is also batting for an Islamic state. US and Pakis are very thick since independence and US has trained and even protected the Army Generals of Pakistan. Pakis wnt Kashmir to be leberated like Kosovo and Barak Hussain Obama who was incidently lived a short time in Pakistan many not be averse to such an idea. The bottom line is Obama is a muslim and highly inexperienced to be the president of USA. OBAMA COULD BE A THREAT FOR INDIA
Indian Paranoia?By: Tom Donald | Wednesday , 5 Nov '08 14:03:44 PM Reply | Forward Really! Obama is a muslim, eh? What nonsense! I think it's sad to read such paranoid imaginings coming from India, a country that can teach the rest of the world so much about benign religion and tolerance. Kashmir is India's Ulster, a territory disputed with a neighbour for unalterable historical reasons. The issue of Kashmir is best settled in the same way, by close cooperation between those neighbours, and a fading away of the differences between them through economic and human ties. Obama has very little to do with it!
Solve Kashmir First to solve AfghanistanBy: John Cristo | Friday , 7 Nov '08 1:56:39 AM Reply | Forward Pakistan was able to successfully focus on Soviet Afghan war without worrying about eastern border, yes without solving Kashmir.Rewarding Jihadist for doing suicide bombing, Good luck Obama to make USA safe.It's true that jihadist elements were funded/supported by Pakistan by stealing money from the US funds for Soviet Afghan war to get the upper hand in Kashmir. Now you want to give them Kashmir. What will you say to oppressed Tibetan? You are being denied free Tibet as you are not "Suicide Bombers". First become suicide bomber and create a chaos in every corner of the word. Then we shall give you "free" Tibet in order to solve problem the easy way. In fact he should make this US policy official. Whoever has any political conflict against any regime in the world, if it boils down to a level of attacking USA like 911. We shall come and peruse that regime to bow down to your demands.Do you have answer why can’t Pakistan focus on War on Terror without solving Kashmir? Is it currently in war with India or both countries are already talking for confidence building? What kind of blackmail it is? Last time I heard that another border between India-Pakistan was opened for trade.I wonder if anyone in the world except Obama buys this argument that India will attack from east to spoil War on Terror.

ObamaBy: Hindustani | Thursday , 6 Nov '08 10:55:34 AM Reply | Forward Obama is a Muslim. His father's name was Barak Hussain Obama
Raja Mohan untrustworthyBy: Alok | Tuesday , 4 Nov '08 2:30:33 AM Reply | Forward Don't take C. Raja Mohan seriously. He is too much of an ideologue to be truthful. He is trying his best to be a lapdog of Bush.
Obama's Kashmir ThesisBy: K S Krishnan | Tuesday , 4 Nov '08 2:03:49 AM Reply | Forward The basic approach should allow India to consider the thesis. Obama cannot act on his own, even if he has the Congress/Senate with him. He is dealing with an foreign country. India has to present it's case on Kashmir once again in a forceful manner, if any solution, not conducive to India. We Indian's always have a negative approach on matters, and this clouds the thinking. I think better days are ahead in Indo/American reltions, mainly because, the countries are more equal than ever before. Krishnan
shame on uBy: killswitch | Wednesday , 5 Nov '08 16:45:18 PM Reply | Forward krishnan ur view is a very narrow one to pinpoint the fact that he is a muslim will lead to destruction of india in insane..im a muslim and i love my country much so much so that i pray to God that ties between india and pakistan and the betterment of kashmir can be resolved through economic co-operation which will be a slow but effective process rather than a military operation which always leads to worser results
OBAMA By: drmadhani | Tuesday , 4 Nov '08 2:00:05 AM Reply | Forward I am NOT surprised by OBAMA comment.He has a neck of CONSENSUS. If India is 100% right than India loses 50%. Kashmir is DISPUTED though it was 100% Indian State. Pakistan GAVE Gilgit to US-Akshai Bharat to China-Large Chunk to it self-ALL Indian Territories. Ask OBAMA to give SINDH Hind 100% to Sindhis-which they never got-He will give 50% to India. China says whole India is sisputed territory-Obama will give 50%. If Indians do not comprehend this-don't cry- YOU DESERVE IT!
Misreading of CommentsBy: James Wong | Tuesday , 4 Nov '08 1:21:18 AM Reply | Forward I think you are parsing the comments too finely to generate a sensationalist headline. A more charitable reading of the comments is that India should not the focus issue for Pakistan - they should focus instead on their internal extremism issue. If the US could get Pakistan off the Kashmir issue as the be all and end all of its foreign policy platform, why shouldnt India welcome it ? It is a distraction for India too.
Obama is AmericanBy: C. Nair | Tuesday , 4 Nov '08 1:21:08 AM Reply | Forward Coming from even a reputed analyst like Raj Mohan, all this breastbeating on a statement by Obama only points to the fact that we still haven't learned anything from our experience with Kashmir. To start with, we have to understand that IT IS OUR PROBLEM. The world, whether it is Pakistan, US, or Russia, will look at it relative to their interests, priorities. Obama holds a view, in relation to the best possible results for the US. This is what diplomats are for. We have to find our own solutions.
We need to solve problems when the opportunity is ripe for that we need good leadershipBy: S.Balakrishnan | Monday , 3 Nov '08 23:14:06 PM Reply | Forward Smart politicians solve problem when they can and not postpone. We have let Kashmir simmer just like our dispute with Tibet on the border issue. We are now paying the price. We could have solved it at the start and again after the BANGLADESH LIBERATION. But our leaders could not come to do this when conditions were favourable to us but instead took intereim measures that ultimately blew on our face. China solves its problems when time is ripe and waits patiently when the time is not opportune without giving a bit to pressures. Hopefully we will get new leadership but our leadership is the same family that clings to power no matter how much fiasco they commit. India should have a system where people from no where can get elected like in the USA. Jimmy Carter, now Barak Obama are prime examples of leaders coming up from no where and running the country. We elect based on blood relationship to the Gandhi/Nehru family with no experience otherwise to run the affairs of the state.
obamaBy: bipin | Monday , 3 Nov '08 22:39:22 PM Reply | Forward it is typical of obama who himself was a muslim and converted to christianity. do not trust barack hussein obama. he deliberately dropped hussein from his name. americans are mad to vote for him.
US electionBy: BR | Monday , 3 Nov '08 21:42:21 PM Reply | Forward Just like selecting PM for India is an absolutely Indian internal business and Americans must keep out of it, Indians should do the same when it comes to the election of American Presidency. It is America's internal matter. On a different note, Indian right wing needs to grow up and think of a foreign policy that is beyond Pakistan. IE sometimes seem like an Indian version of Fox News. It should grow up and stop fearmongering by twisting news to fit their need. Obama's J
Why do they need freedom?By: Movie | Monday , 3 Nov '08 21:41:21 PM Reply | Forward What Kashmir gets from India - Article 370, special financial aids, thousands of lives of soldiers who died protecting Kashmir, and not to mention the special affection a Kashmiri gets when he visits other states. Why do they need freedom? What will they if they unit with Pakistan? Indian citizens including army may feel back stabbed if kashmiris decide to join Pakistan or demand freedom from Indian union.
