Kashmir:  an interim solution- a proposal

-DR. ABDUL RUFF COLACHAL

_______________

South Asia can never be peaceful unless the Kashmir  problem is resolved and earlier the issue is resolved  better for the regional growth and development.

But as it stands, there is no credible possibility for that to occur, for, an arrogant India and the  notorious UNSC play dirty terror politics with the lives of  Kashmiris in Jammu Kashmir. 

Kashmiris in Kashmir valley get killed by occupying Indian forces on a regular basis while Pakistan is unable to  stop  these crimes because it also kills Pakistanis to make the American occupation forces happy as part of NATO-Pakistan deal.

The deal is simple: USA wants Pakistani military to kill Muslims, drinking their blood, while Pakistan insists on higher service charges in military goods for murdering and assisting the NATO rogues  target Pakistanis especially in  tribal areas where Muslims try to defend their  territories from  foreign invaders. 

So Kashmiris literally besieged by the largest democracy India and Islamic Pakistan.  That is the current fate of Kashmiri Muslims, though not every Kashmiri is capable of  comprehend the deceptive cum  brutal world they are in. 

Kashmiris  do speak for  Kashmir. They just hail India and Pakistan according to the media gimmicks  on either side of the LOC. 

But occupation and crimes in Kashmir are illegal.   

Kashmir for years has remained a major flash point in South Asian politics and resolution of the crisis is looked upon as the only way to  make the region peaceful, while good neighborly relations between arch foes India and Pakistan could make the region tension free and even prosperous, with more nuke arsenals, supported by world powers and IAEA.. 

However, neither India nor Pakistan nor pro-Indian Kashmiris in Kashmir valley  allows  any chance for peace to set in to ease the situation towards peace in the region. Nor India's puppet government in Jammu Kashmir led by Congress-NC party leaders now enjoying all wealth and comforts want  any resolution of the conflict. 

Strangely, Pakistan by refusing to add to its nation the part of Kashmir it occupies (Azad Kashmir) and by fueling the pro-Pakistan  separatists in Kashmir is still eager to use the Kashmiris to advance its  interests.   India opposes the secret deal  of Pakistan with Azad Kashmir and pro-Pakistani  separatists to  create  create greater Pakistan, though it also faces separatist movement inside in Baluchistan. With USA bluntly refusing to support Pakistani cause , Islamabad  has to feel satisfied with  serving the US cause of anti-Islamism in Afghanistan and Pakistan.. 

Kashmiris now willingly play fowl as an ally of selfish Pakistan with ulterior motives. Result wont be better for  both of them. 

World is unanimous on the view that peace in the region is essential for the stability of the region and welfare of peoples in the region and even beyond. 

However, existing conditions in the region are not quite conducive for that to happen. 

Kashmir is being occupied by three regional powers- one regional super power (China) and two big powers of the region (India and Pakistan). And, none of them is eager to surrender sovereignty to Kashmiris to enable them to remake their lost home. 

Worst is the  very predicament of Kashmiris in Jammu Kashmir, Azad Kashmir ans China Kashmir. While Azad Kashmiris have already resigned to their  fate as  being  a part of Pakistan and, maybe most of the are happy  of being Pakistanis; Kashmiris in IN Jammu Kashmir  under India  occupational control  are divided, badly. Many of Kashmiris in JK  are not unhappy  of  being  a par tof India and  are now the elected rulers of JK state under Indian  supervision. The Chinese Kashmiris  have no option but to be in China as its citizens. 

Although the destiny of Kashmiris cannot  be foretold right here,  one must agree that they remain the cause of tension and  problem of  instability and target of outside powers. They have no powers and they do exactly want the India, Pakistan and China want  or expect them to do.

The pro-India Kashmir leaders JK  are extra  happy that India takes care of their  huge wealth. Similarly, Kashmiris in Azad Kashmir under Pakistan control  are also a happy with Pakistan for  promoting the  rich  in that  part. 

But the  problem arises  when the Kashmiris in Jammu Kashmir who do not  support Indian rule  and would want to  the subject of Pakistan if  there is a possibility. 

In fact, it seems all  their struggle for  freedom form Indian yoke is essentially to get  clearance certificate form New Delhi and join Pakistan.  It is almost clear they do not want freedom  and sovereignty from India to  reestablish Kashmir  as it had existed before 1948 when they  all of sudden  found themselves  occupied by  Indian forces. Their struggle  cost very dearly for  themselves with over 100,000 Muslims have been slaughtered by Indian forces, while both China and Pakistan  take the genocides as if  it should only be that way.. 

There seems to  no news paper or  online portal that  seeks independence for  a sovereign JammU Kashmir. The media in Jammu Kashmir  promote India's  occupational interests, while those in Azad kashmir  uphold Pakistani  interests as their own.

That is  sad, rather crude aspect of  destiny of Kashmiris. 

Like India, both Pakistan and China  do not  want or promote total independence for Kashmiris. 

Considering the above said factors, among other important issues, one could suggest the following interim solution to resolve the crisis and end blood bath in Kashmir valley. 

 Kashmiris under the joint control of India, Pakistan and    China  should be allowed to express their preferences explicitly. 

Meanwhile, 

1. Pakistan should now openly state its strategic needs in                     Kashmir. Islamabad should not cheat              Kashmiri Muslims. Pakistan should openly declare freedom for Kashmiris from both India and Pakistan. 

2. Meanwhile, India could  now enjoy full sovereignty over  the Jammu Kashmir under its occupation. 

3. Meanwhile, Pakistan  could have complete control over Azad          Kashmir to make it an integral part of Pakistan constitutionality as    India has done as soon as it occupied major part of JK..

4.Those pro-Pakistani Kashmiris could settle down in Azad Kashmir or        directly in Pakistan.  

5. Once India and Pakistan share the Kashmiri lands, China can talk with India and Pakistan to decide about the  future of "Chinese Kashmiris"

6. India being a part of peace keeping forces in some regions,  it             should stop killing Kashmiri Muslims forthwith. It is too rude on its         part that India loves to drink Kashmiri blood after eating  their    apples. If India still kills the Kashmiri Muslims for whatever reasons,    India regime must, through the UN, pay 100 crore rupees to Kashmiris     for each murder it commits there

 7. UN could oversee the resolution process so that no crisis would          occur in future. 

UN and ICJ & ICC should bring to justice all state criminals who are responsible for the  genocides of kashmiris. 

The above said solution is the easiest and workable one under the prevailing conditions to save the Kashmiri Muslims from foreign brutalities. People keep sacrificing their valuable lives  not knowing the  real cause.  

Of course, this is only a solution and not a judgment on the issue. And, also, it is only a preliminary solution and if Kashmiris of all reigns could ponder over the issues and their own future and decide accordingly.

After the resolution of the Kashmir dispute, in order to promote mutual trust, India and Pakistan should push for greater cooperation and collaboration. Pakistan needs to save the remaining Kashmiri Muslims by stopping to encourage revolt against India by Kashmiri Muslims in Jammu Kashmir

After all, Pakistan is equally accountable for the murder of so many Kashmiri Muslims by Indian brute forces in JK.   

Credible peace in South Asia requires an early resolution of the Kashmir issue. It is prime duty of UN to help end the crisis at the earliest.

Enough of bloodbath and tension in Kashmir! 

Kashmiris deserve a peaceful existence!

Kashmir also deserves homely atmosphere for  people to breath free of military brutalities!
