Stay away from Kashmir, US report warns Obama

Washington: The incoming Obama administration should stay away from any ‘high-visibility’ focus on the Kashmir issue as it would likely evoke Indian resistance and risk fuelling Pakistani expectations of a settlement favouring Islamabad, a Congressional report has warned. The report, prepared by the Congre  ....Read more

US AS AN HONEST BROKERBy: HA NARAN | Thursday , 8 Jan '09 19:57:38 PM Reply | Forward Dear Sir,Let us clear some important points:First of all, let us completely remove "THE POLICEMAN" of the entire world from the scene, because HE does NOT know what THE JUSTICE is, in any issue. He is selfish and utterly UNTRUSTWORTHY.Secondly, STOP the corrupt politicians, who has been wasting BILLIONS of dollars after UNSUITABLE weapons, under the pretaxt of national security, but are NEVER using that weaponry, when time comes, because the main aim was to pocket much of the money, out of the purchase of weaponry.My third, and final point is, that we should compel the Goverment of the day to DECLARE INTERNATIONALLY that KASHMIR is an UNDIVIDED part of India, and we OURSELVES are about to DESTROY all terrorist camps in the neighbouring country, to protect our people from the terrorist attacks, because the neighbouring country has totally failed to eradicate them. In the end, DO NOT FORGET TO send the bill of the operation to the country, concerned.---HA NARAN
Stay away from Kashmir, US report warns ObamaBy: G CHANDRA MOHAN IYER | Thursday , 8 Jan '09 19:37:02 PM Reply | Forward US BETTER UNDERSTAND THAT INDIA IS NOT A BANANA REPUBLIC LIKE PAKISTAN.ANY ATTEMPT BY OBAMA ADMIN TO MEDDLE IN KASHMIR WILL RESULT IN END OF INDO- US BONHOMIE.
Why we keep runing from truthBy: Govind | Thursday , 8 Jan '09 19:27:57 PM Reply | Forward Why we keep runing from truth.In rea we know kashmiris if given chance of self determination [agreed by both Pak and us] will never decide to join us.We are just ruling them with the help of our 800,000 army men in the small region of kashmir.[I don't think so that even in Pak kashmir there is even 25,000 pak army men]
Why we keep runing from truthBy: a | Tuesday , 13 Jan '09 12:49:53 PM Reply | Forward govind kashmir could become another terrorist harbouring nation. The people will not have the freedom of whatever they have now.
Kashmir SolutionBy: rajnish | Thursday , 8 Jan '09 19:04:58 PM Reply | Forward Only way Kashmir will eventually get resolved is when peace descends in the region and India and Pakistan share a warm friendly relationship. No country, and least of all India, will agree to a compromise when terrorists are running amok with active support from across the border. Idealists and hardliners on both sides of the border would like to see a big bang solution(of course of opposite natures) but in real world thats unlikely. Lets strive for peace and harmony first between India and Pak, that will automatically lead to a solution which will be palatable to citizens of both countries. Berlin wall didnt come down because of some great solution, it just melted away when situation changed.
KEEP AWAY FROM KASHMIR, OBAMA.By: M.Arun | Thursday , 8 Jan '09 18:57:04 PM Reply | Forward Pakistan's cultural affinity is primarily of Arab-Middle East origin because of Muslim colonial past in India. Therefore Pakistan is a colonial outpost of Arab-Middle East countries. President elect Obama needs to thoroughly understand the precise history of the modern 'Indian Republic' founded in 1947 after the partition of British India by the colonial government of Briton who at the behest of murderous criminals lead by Jinnah created Pakistan which is now a bastion of international terrorism. In that process Jinnah
kashmir issueBy: RS | Thursday , 8 Jan '09 18:53:41 PM Reply | Forward I think this most contentious issue of Kashmir cannot be solved by India and Pakistan. This issue requires external power to bring India, Pakistan and Kashmiris on the table to resolve same. I feel USA can definately play a role of a mediator and help all the parties concern to have a negotiated settlement of this outstanding issue.
aboveBy: janney | Thursday , 8 Jan '09 18:24:56 PM Reply | Forward Kashmir is integral part of India. No country should behave irresponsibly. Pak should concentrate maintaining their country properly rather than poking nose in Indian affairs.
Integral part [why do we tell lie to ourself]By: Govind | Thursday , 8 Jan '09 23:39:27 PM Reply | Forward Integral part [why do we tell lie to ourself]If you have seen the hatared in the eyes of Kashmiris then you will not say this.We are afraid that if given the chance of self determination then they will surely vote against us.Incidents like Babri mosque or gujarat have also let them away from us completely by BJP.
Intgral part [U R Just joking] on bases of arms not by peoples willBy: Khurram | Thursday , 8 Jan '09 18:49:04 PM Reply | Forward IF you think it is integral part then why are you afraid of Plebiscite.In real you all know that muslims in kashmir will never vote to be with you.In Pakistani part there is no kasmiri pledging to jopin you.It is in Indian Occupied kashmir you have 700,000 army.In paksitani kasmir there is not even 25,000 army men.It is agreed by both Paskistan and India that Kashmiris will decide there own fate but you know the eventual reslut thats why you are runing from it since 60 years.After Babri mosque and Gujarat like incident muslims become more against you.IF not my comments, see the comments below by your own country men[Ravi,Raj etc] on this news.
No problem !By: SB | Friday , 9 Jan '09 11:00:16 AM Reply | Forward No problem with plebiscite. But first allow the lakhs of Kashmiri pundits to return back. Then everyone will see where Kashmir belongs.
Why don't we solve this issueBy: Ravi | Thursday , 8 Jan '09 18:17:00 PM Reply | Forward We have to be away From US.Why don't we solve this issue.In reality we have 800,000 army to stop voice of kasmiris.If both country have a courage then they can solve this issue by simply integrate Jammu area in India and Valley areas Pakistan.Or let the people of Kashmir decide there own Fate.I know it is hard to swallow by both country but we have to be away from the US which are trying to using us Against China.[they are never been sincere to any friend of them]
Kashmir is epitom of India as secular stateBy: shiva | Friday , 9 Jan '09 7:25:06 AM Reply | Forward You are not really ravi,we can make that out.If some Kashmiri population wants to be part of Pakistan which is islamic country,solely for the reason of religion instead of secular India,then question is this.Why not also ask Kerala muslim dominated District to decide if they want to be indipendant state?Why not ask Hyderabad old city same question.You will be pleasantly surprised that this population is more than willing to be part of Umma ;) .So by the logic,if kashmiri polulation,very small percentage compared to Indian population,wants this and gets this.Then India accepts Religion as reason for creation of state.If so,why should rest of Indian muslims should be any party to India?It begs a question,as long as muslims are in minority,they axpect Human rightly,equality.The moment they ar ein majority they want Sharia and Islamic separate state.If i am wrong tell me why?
how stupidBy: RD | Friday , 9 Jan '09 2:15:25 AM Reply | Forward Well people who say, stay away from US and let kashmir decide its future are so wrong. because once you do that, Kashmir will be another nation, and then will US ally, and you will see US forces sitting in Kashmir on the name of friendship.

issus is unsolvableBy: gopal | Thursday , 8 Jan '09 20:02:50 PM Reply | Forward Dude, you don't understand. Kashmir is merely an epitome of the ultimate agenda that the mullahs have. It is establishing a caliphate globally and pushing us into a type 0 civilization. After kashmir, it will be punjab and one day it will be the entire country. True islam does not accept other religions or atheism and ultimately aims to destroy everything other than islam. The moderates are the ones who are trying to be in a denial mode but soon will succumb to the taliban extremists. So the only way out of this is to wait indefinitely for a couple of centuries until all religion fades away and we finally transcend into a type 1 civilization when religion and god and new age bs is out of the window.
remove your maskBy: Kashmiri | Thursday , 8 Jan '09 19:56:24 PM Reply | Forward Your words reveal your real color. Your proposal is exactly the same as Pakistan's. We know who you are. Note: India can very well solve the problem if there is a political will. Even if Kashmir got independence the next moment Pakistan will attach it to Pakistan so there is no question about freedom of Kashmir. Kashmir was always a part of India since the time immemorial and it will be. It was never been a part of Pakistan and it will not be. If peace loving Kashmiri Hindus react the way they suffered with the support of Indian army Kashmir will become a Hindu majority state within no time. But we don't want to see the tears of innocents. All Indians treat Muslims and Hindus of Kashmir equally so don't talk about the head counts based on religion.
Stay away from Kashmir, US report warns ObamaBy: Expat Australia. | Thursday , 8 Jan '09 18:05:47 PM Reply | Forward Mr. Obama, as the US ambassador to India did mentioned that FBI did not perform an investigation which was not credible in response to Pakistan's rebuff to India on the evidences supplied to Pakis for Mumbai 26/11, I trust your Congressional Research Service for American lawmakers, did not do a rubbish research. So trust to the report please word by word. Just remember your Afganistan problem will not be resolved until unless you (USA) whip up Pakistan to come clean in all respect and that's a much bigger and a complex job in hand for you. India have been complaining about terrorism in Kashmir for a long long time, your country ignored and supplied arms to Pakis, which in turn went into the hands of those terrrists and are being used against you in Afganistan. Now as you sow, so you reap!!
Facts to the problemBy: Truetalk | Thursday , 8 Jan '09 22:36:50 PM Reply | Forward We need to remind Obama again and again what he said in his campaign that the money given by USA to Pak is spent buying weapons against India. The US money goes to Pak, Pak buys arms from China mostly and the USA is borrowing money from China to fight against terrorism. (What a vicious cycle). So, the problem is there in the Pak, not in India or the Kashmir. If the USA truly wants peace in that region should join hands with India to uproot terrorism from Pak; India gave freedom to Bangladesh from un-Pak Pak, the same way will free Pak from their own terrorists i.e. ISI, military and Islamic fanatics those who dream to conquer India. The whole Kashmir belongs to India and will remain the integral part of India. “JayHind”.
Stay away from Kashmir By: Vijay Agarwal | Thursday , 8 Jan '09 17:18:44 PM Reply | Forward Correct ! US should stay from embroiling itself into Kashmir. It would be best for Obama admin to toe the familiar line that Kashmir is a bilateral issue between India and Pakistan - it just had the mosr successful elections and transfer of power in its entire history. The main thrust of his South policy concentrate on sorting out Afghanistan and Pakistan i.e. root out the seeds of Islamic extremist Jihad and act against Taiban, al Qaeda and Pakistani ISI covert activities in the region ... unless that is done the whole region will remain a tinderbox and danger to not only just USA but all democratic countries and societies ...
KashmirBy: Rahul jain | Thursday , 8 Jan '09 17:40:04 PM Reply | Forward One thing and all...Kashmir is not a bilateral issue. Rather it is no issue at all, since history defines kashmir to be an integral part of India. Pakistan can be talked of just for one issue as far India is concerned i.e Pak sponsered Terrorism. It is unfortunate we have always won military games with Pak but lost politically every time...Now when war solution is lost due to nuclear deterrance, it is good to let world talk and decide till the end. Let the rope be streched till breakage and then also.... lets be ready for LAST WAR...Amin!!! Hey Ram!!!Insha Allah!!!...
We Tell lie to ourselfBy: Raj Verma | Thursday , 8 Jan '09 18:11:37 PM Reply | Forward If Kashmir is part of India then we will never be afraid of a plebiscite.In real we do afraid that if Kasmiris given right of Self determination to either join Pakistan or India [this thing is agreed by both Pak and India] then we know the kashmiris living our part will not guarantee to vote with us.We are trying to hiding the truth from which we can't run.
Kashmir By: Manoj Sharma | Friday , 9 Jan '09 5:09:28 AM Reply | Forward If we release kashmir than Taliban will take control of the Valley and all of India will become open for them to infilterate and destabilize India and further start a jehad against other areas in India as that is theor main Goal .
kashmir issueBy: freddie Indian | Friday , 9 Jan '09 2:17:20 AM Reply | Forward Kashmir is a part of India. If you asked any individual given a choice where he wants to live in that most of the Indian/pakistan will say i want to go to USA. Well Kashmir is a part of india and that is the fact. There is no choice
Raj VermaBy: RJ | Friday , 9 Jan '09 0:52:33 AM Reply | Forward Raj Verma, sure India will conduct plebiscite. If you know your history, a precondition for plebiscite is that Pak must vacate the portion it occupied and China must vacate Aksai Chin, which was donated to it by Pak. Once these two conditions are met, of course, we will conduct plebiscite or whatever else you want. Until then, educate yourself on the history of J
Not ExactlyBy: Rajan Sharma | Thursday , 8 Jan '09 22:51:53 PM Reply | Forward Kashmiris must understand that the future for them lies with India and not Pakistan and I have a feeling that they have started realizing it. They have three choices - 1) To associate themselves with Pakistan and this will bring only chaos to them. 2) To form an Azad Kashmir, which is highly impossible. Even if India agrees to it, Pkistan will never.3) To stay where they are i.e. India and have a good future. They have to make a choice and only insane people can think of leaving the opportunity of leaving the promising India.US or any other country has no role to play here. India has to take responsibilty to sort out its internal matters and issues.
KashmirBy: TrueTalk | Thursday , 8 Jan '09 22:49:11 PM Reply | Forward Why only Kashmir will be given rights of self determination! Why not to all the states of India! Then what is going to happen, can you imagine?????
No point of a plebisciteBy: Gaurav | Thursday , 8 Jan '09 22:18:23 PM Reply | Forward There is no point of a plebiscite coz. 1. The demographics in both India (forced by Militants) and Pakistan (forced by the Pak govt) have changed significantly. 2. If the UN charter is to be followed, the first step is for Pak to give back POK so that Plebiscite can be conducted in the whole region. The reason for the problems with Kashmir is more to do with the fact that it is segregated according to Indian law and so that part of the country is not able to integrate with the rest of the country.
Kashmir belongs to PunditsBy: Namrata | Thursday , 8 Jan '09 20:47:33 PM Reply | Forward The Kashmiris living in Kashmir today are not Kashmiris; they are Pakistani infiltrates, and their future generations. Ask the real inhabitants of Kashmir (The Kashmiri Pundits) who they want to be with; India or Pakistan. And then you will have asked the Kashmiris.
I disagreeBy: Rajaram | Thursday , 8 Jan '09 19:46:18 PM Reply | Forward Don't agree, the fact that 60 percent people turned up to vote their constituencies in suggests Kashmiris will overwhelmingly vote in favour of India.
PlebesiteBy: Appu | Thursday , 8 Jan '09 19:43:51 PM Reply | Forward Plebisite.. let's take it in every muslim dominated area anywhere in India and it will want to be part of Pakistan.. or Bengali communist may want to join China... What are you talking about. Opening a pandora's box? Plebesite also had a pre-condition in UN resolution - Pak vacates PoK first.. then a plebesite is taken.
lie to your selfBy: ris | Thursday , 8 Jan '09 19:03:43 PM Reply | Forward you are an idiot, I think you are hidung from that truth.
