    In a recent interview, Obama had suggested that his administration would encourage India to solve Kashmir dispute with Pak.

    Ending the Army’s right to define Isalamabad’s national security goals would make it a lot easier to resolve Pakistan’s disputes with both India and Afghanistan. That in turn would demand Indo-U S cooperation in accelerating Pakistan’s democratic transition by establishing firm civilian control over the military.

    Who says Nehru Messed-up Kashmir Issue?By: ABC | 27-Oct-2009 Reply | Forward Nehru went to UN after fighting for 14 months (Oct 47 - Dec 48). The war was a stalemate and Nehru cleared Pakis from all the strategic/civilized areas. Those of you that think Nehru should have occupied rest of POK, ask your selves these questions! Why didn't Shastry drive them out in 1965? Why didn't Vajpayee drive them out in 1999? Indira Gandhi occupied Kargil and some other strategic peaks in Ladakh 1971. Even she chose to ignore Muzafarabad/Gilgit/Baltistan. There is only one explanation. It is not worth occupying Muzafarabad/Gilgit/Baltistan. Officially, India still claims POK just as a bargain chip - Just like China claims Arunachal but know will never get. If we really wanted it, Nehru would have occupied it in 1948. He waited for 14 months. He could have waited for few more weeks it were that important and achievable. Stop Nehru bashing. Use your brain. Don't just regurgitate what your hear from folklore!!! India will jump at converting LOC into Int. Border.

    KashmirBy: Bhaskar Kolnad | 26-Oct-2009 Reply | Forward Part of Kashmir which was invaded by Pakistani tribals before Maharajah of Kashmir signed the accession treaty with India in 1948,we should have driven them out soon after .Our great leader Nehru just messed it up by going for ceasefire and then going to UN.Our first job was to kick them out of this Kashmir.Nehru was only interested in becoming the nations Prime Minister even at the cost of first agreeing for partition and then later leaving part Kashmir in Pakistan's hand for us to bleed after he left the scene.Unfortunately we still have even after 60 years his family claiming to be rightful heirs to the country's top job..We still have many leaders in the country working with the same goal.We had Indira Gandhi,then Rajiv and now Rahul BabaGod free us.
