There are so many Muslims staying in India earning their daily bread. I do not think that they feel insecure staying with people of other faiths. I also think for humanity to prevail people of all faith shud be made to leave together. Only because in some state Muslim are in majority does not give other country the right to send terrorists to "defend" Muslims. These so called people are just there to fulfill their selfish desires. I think people of J

why did indian muslims did not organise themselves in a big rally condemning mumbai attacks? all the muslims staying in bombay, eating its resources, should have shown at least this much gesture towards india, where they come to earn and make money. Instead they cleverly, especially many muslim actors, started questioning politicians and security? how could they establish relationship with pakistan and expect that government keeps itself ready to counter terrorism from pakistan. it is time now for majority in india to learn, that these actors are here only to make money and eat and buy houses in london and new york, and one day they all will even not a shed a tear for majority killed in bomb blasts attempted by their brothers from across the border.

Pakistan was created for muslims but many Muslims chose to stay back in India and are leading thousand times better life than pakistani muslims. Pakistan is trying to create wedge between indian muslims and ther religions to weaken India and is responsible for Bad Image of Muslims in India.

Why can't there be an expectation of a settlement in favour of India ? Is this a pro Pak committee ?

For the 436 princely states, the British had fairly returned power to those from whom they had taken it i.e. to the princes, who were free to choose between India or Pakistan. The Kashmir Maharaja and his two advisers, one Hindu and one Muslim, decided to keep Kashmir independent of Hindu India or Muslim Pakistan, but the Pakistani attack in 1948 forced the Maharaja to sign the Instrument of accession of Kashmir to India. Later India became a secular democratic republic. Since Pak had a non-agression(standstill agreement) treaty with Kashmir in 1947, Pak was not supposed to touch Kashmir militarily as per international law. There was a rebellion in Poonch only in 1947 against the Hindu King Hari Singh Pakistani army infiltrated tribals followed by armymen to help the rebels. That is why India went to UN with complaint and UN resolution maintained that “Pak will withdraw all tribals and nationals from Kashmir’ after negotiating the modalities of withdrawal with India.

Only an amatuer American President can talk about solving the Kashmir issue. Obama has to grow up as President to understand the true position about Kashmir. Instead of thinking about Kashmir, Obama should do the sensible thing of focusing on the problems of his own country. Outside his country, he would do well to close the Iraq misadventure and exterminate the Pak based terrorists to give his country security. If he interferes in Kahmir, it is quite certain that he would not like to hear what India would say.

Obama needs to be educated with respect to non interference in the sovereign affairs of any country let alone India It is a matter that needs to be addressed by the two sovereign nations that are involved.

us should stay away of kashmir b'cose that is india's problem and india know how to solve the problem.

Kashmir and the kashmiries better stay in India as an integral part. They will be worse of off going into Pakistan. IMHO.

Pakistan and India have not been able to solve kashmir issue since last 60 years. Had they been able to do it on their own they would have done it by now. International community and especially US needs to get inovolved if the world has to avoid a nuclear holocaust in that part of the world.

Obama must resolve the J

The idea that any US policy should encourage Pakistan to a point that it begins to believe that it could get a favorable settlement in Kashmir will also encourage every Indian to fight tooth and nail against it. India is not a small country, and its people though tolerant, are a very brave people. Check with the records of WW1, WWII and the three wars with Pakistan and the Kargil operation. We dont like to brag like the islamists and we dont commit suicide - we can however destroy Pakistan

just always see this kinda reports, there title "'Terrorist Attacks in Mumbai, India and Implications for US Interests'......always interest??.....Us interest??.......this we all have to understand

Mrs.Clinton should be sent a very stong message to not to bother her husband about Kashmir.Mr. Clinton can prove to be the proverbial "camel" as in the ARAB AND THE CAMEL story.The U.S. is going to watch it's own interests.The Americans need Pakistan for Afghanistan and would pay any price.Pakistan knows it and is exploting the situation.

U.S CAN NEVER BE ANYBODY'S FRIEND UNLESS THEIR INTEREST IS SERVED .J

I doubt we can give Kashmir to Pakistan as tomorrow Pakistan will demand Punjab and the list goes on and on. consider a hypothetical situation of Kashmir going to Pakistan, then there is possibility of large scale riots. The other north east states will demand independence. It will create a ripple effect in India not seen even during 1947.May be use politics to weaken the ground in Kasmir; break Jammu if possible and weaken terror network on both side; bring development in common peoples life; and follow the principle every thing is fair in love and war. I may not have the top of the idea or the reason why Kashmir is very important for India. If kashmir is important for natural resource, water, then India should plan for realistic policy on conservation on water. The policy to help us to be more independent. I understand we have track record hitting the spade on our leg but we should change our attitude to make a developed India.

does anyone care about the Original native people of Jammu

Obama, keep away from Kashmir as you have enough on your plate. Pak is the biggest enemy of all the civilised word and your involvement will do nothing but help create more terrorists. You will loose credibilty in India as it has nothing to do with you. It is mainly Pak problem who refuse to vacate the land of Kashmir occupied illegally and using LeT as part of government policy to hurt India. As you know after Mumbai attack India has reached its limit and any more provocation by Paki mean the near destruction of Pak and its training camp. So keep out it if you want to sell arms or any other goods to India.

If Kashmiri's are given the choice of choosing today, they would continue to stay in India. It is better to find a quick solution to have a lasting peace in this region and in the rest of the country. Since, no solution is likely to be forged between the two countries because of irreconcilable differences, , it is advisable to choose a third neutral party like the Hague to arbitrate. This will save enormous time and cost.

Let wisdon prevail on US. Atleast now US should have clear policy to trust whom and not to trust whom. Kashmir is ours and no one can take it from us. KAshmeries are also ous. let the people in US know india is not a country , it is a continent and we have hetrogenious mix. US has immigrants mix and we have own mix that is the difference. let wisdom prevail on US

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

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 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]

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.

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
