Kashmir : An Illusive Solution

I am a cheerleader, mein to cheer he karunga.
@Kshithij Sharma C'mon man. You can do it.
You might need contacts in ASEAN or Philippines, to bring weapons. You can also contact Chinese, they produce Type 56 of best quality.
There are also several illegal weapon factories in India, which produce katta and even Ak-47. You might need that also.
BTW, my suggestion is to start the recruitment, or you might want to make an alliance with Maoist during initial periods.
But, as you make a terrorist group, as I am also hold a free will, I might also contact NIA.
I think I have made it clear that I am against any form of dogmatic ideology. All forms of abrahamic cults like Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Communism, Capitalism are something I would rather die than join.
I only seek - dharma. It is not restricted by my inability but due to the wrong precedence set by useless ancestors in 1947-50 and as of now - by inequitable distribution of natural resources, especially oil.
Indeed, you are totally right. I support you.
So, when you going to take the next step to fulfill this dream of yours? I am with you.
Your question is best ignored. Only a fool speaks of plans of action. I only preach the truth and truthful ways of life, not steps to act.
BTW- the world is not made by me. I can only act according to time. Now is not the tike to act but only preach and create a support base to act when the time comes
It is the style of the Congress to ensure that all the issues are never solved and Congress under the pretext of solving the issues stayed in power,
MoDi wants to solve these problems as solving these, he can focus on nation building, Sibals statement in SC does show the mentality of congress that they see solving the Babri masjid issue as problem for their vote share. That should tell you enough about why our country have so many problems because the party in power was also behaving like babus

Don’t rejoice over killing of militants, their death is a symbol of our defeat: IPS Officer
Srinagar, Dec 4: IPS officer, Shailendra Kumar Mishra has asked people of India not to “rejoice over killing of militants in Kashmir”.
Mishra, who is currently posted as Commandt in IRP-2ND in Kashmir, can be seen talking about the Kashmir situation and the circumstances the led many Kashmir youth to take arms in a video making rounds on social media.
“Don’t rejoice over militants killing in Kashmir. Their death is our defeat. We need to find, why they took arms. It’s our collective failure that is forcing these young and educated boys to choose militancy,” Mishra said during his speaking at Brahma foundation event in Mumbai.
He said people of India should understand what circumstances are driving people like Burhan Wani, Wasim Malla, and others towards the militancy.
“They are our own people, but they have some problem with our system. They have become anti-socials and we need to get them back, and the process is on in Kashmir to capture them alive,” Mishra said.
Explaining how his father defeated all odds offered by the system, Mishra indicated that one shouldn’t take extreme steps if system fails them.
“If our financial condition is not good that doesn’t mean we should take up arms. It is our responsibility to get back the boys who are going towards militancy, but we leave that responsibility on the shoulders of security forces,” he said.
He appealed his countrymen to visit Kashmir and understand the pain of Kashmiris.
He said they should inform their kids about the “real Kashmir situation” and make them understand “why the people there are against us”.
“Despite Kashmir being an integral part of India, why is so much hatred towards it? Why are young people of Kashmir taking up arms? We need to understand that,” he said.
Mirsha has served as SSP Samba, SP City Srinagar, SSP Kargil, SSP Traffic, and SSP Shopian and SSP Udhampur previously.
The 2009-batch IPS Officer, Mishra was conferred with Chief of Army Commendation medal which is an honour provided for act of bravery and courage.
Praising the services and sacrifices of JK police, Mishra said, “Biggest nationalist are the men of JK police in the country. Because after killing militants, when these men go to their native villages, they have to face the social boycott. Their homes are attacked with stones. They are the real heroes and we should appreciate their services,” Mishra said.
In his speech, he asked people not to believe prime time news on Kashmir, and to instead visit the place to see the reality.
“Don’t restrict your visits to Amarnath only, go visit villages and see real Kashmir,” Mishra said.

just because I still believe that man can be saved if we give one a chance.
So you are all noise and no substance. carry on brother.
Attack Pakistan through Kashmir and destroy the terror camps in PoK. Create a buffer zone near Kashmir border so that drones can take care of pakjabi terrorists.
Cut down the hawala routes through which the money is flowing from Pakistan.
Increase the pressure on Pakistan diplomatically and make sure Kashmiri population are integrated into Indian main stream.
Kashmir issue is created by India itself when there is no issue Actually, enemy sensed weakness and is using it for their advantage.
India has to realize that Pakistani intel establishment are doing business with terror, they know well that USA will not act against them and also will provide aid no matter what they do in sub continent. With out Kashmir problem, there is no reason for Pakistani military to be a big player in Pakistan. Diplomacy never works, action on the ground is the only solution.

Power lines may help quell a 70-year-old conflict in Kashmir
By Saket Sundria and Rajesh Kumar Singh
Source : Power lines may help quell a 70-year-old conflict in Kashmir
In Prime Minister Narendra Modi's push to supply electricity to every Indian household, connecting homes in the state of Jammu & Kashmir might be the toughest.
Along India's violence-prone northern border, engineers and construction workers are hauling tons of high-tension wires and steel frames on pack mules across barren deserts and mountain ravines to electrify one of the country's most inhospitable states. Still, the effort, budgeted to cost Rs 4,800 crore ($740 million), may turn out to be Modi's most rewarding.
In some villages, winter outages persist for 20 hours a day even as temperatures dip to minus 35 degrees Celsius (minus 31 degrees Fahrenheit). Modi is counting on 24x7 power to both warm homes and hearts in the Muslim-majority state, where as many as 70,000 terrorists, security forces and civilians have died in independence-fueled clashes in the past three decades. Construction of key infrastructure in the Kashmir Valley may be helping.
"People understand the value of this project since very few large development projects are happening in the valley," said Pratik Agarwal, chief executive officer of Sterlite Power Transmission Ltd., which is building the state's first private transmission line. "We have been getting incredible support as power is something people can relate to -- it's something that everyone wants."
Protests Subside
When the first equipment reached a spot about 40 kilometers (25 miles) from Srinagar, one of the state's two capital cities, in May 2016,
locals protested what they thought was the makings of an army camp. As an electrical substation emerged, opposition gave way. Now,
two neighboring villages are squabbling over rights to get their name on it.
The enthusiasm reflects an eagerness for electricity in a state lacking a fifth of the peak energy it needs. It also points to infrastructure
as a potential avenue for Modi's Bharatiya Janata Party to garner greater support from Muslim Kashmiris, some of whom have violently
opposed the controlling force of New Delhi, 825 kilometers south of Srinagar.
Electricity shortages have long been a bane in the Kashmir Valley, and providing reliable, affordable, constant power could go some way
in quelling unrest, according to Noor Ahmad Baba, dean of the school of social sciences at the Central University of Kashmir.
Baba traces a connection between lack of electricity and militancy, drawing from his observations as a youth in the late 1980s, when
insurgency escalated in Kashmir.
'Lot of Discontent'
"Poor electricity supplies not only deprive Kashmiris of education, employment and medical facilities, but also very basic things like
entertainment and communication," he said over the phone from Srinagar. "This leads to a lot of discontent."
While the state's capitals, Srinagar and Jammu, have electricity most of the day, towns and villages like Haft Chinar, on the outskirts of
Srinagar, don't. "We barely get power now -- three-to-four hours a day at best," said Tanveer Hussain, 40, who helps guard a newly built
substation that he sees improving lives. "This has helped a lot of us. We got jobs and hope to get power, too, so my children can study
and have a better life."
The lack of power is an economic drain on the state, according to Fayaz Ahmad Punjabi, junior vice president of the Kashmir Chamber
of Commerce and Industry. "Electricity is like food for industry, it's a necessity," he said. "But in Kashmir today, it's a luxury. So industry
suffers, people suffer. Power is life, and we don't have enough of it."
Modi's Pledge
Modi pledged to bring power to 18,452 unelectrified villages within 1,000 days in his August 2015 Independence Day national address.
As of Oct. 31, electricity had reached 15,218 or 82 percent of those villages. In Jammu and Kashmir, 100 out of 134 villages,
encompassing 270,000 households, lacking electricity were still waiting to be connected.
The government is trying to speed up progress with two transmission-line projects. The Sterlite project will bring power from Jalandhar, in northern Punjab state, to Amargarh, near Srinagar, along a 441-kilometer line running parallel to the so-called Line of Control that marks part of India's de facto northern border with Pakistan. The project, which will cost more than Rs 2,600 crore, is almost finished and Sterlite aims to start supplying as much as 1,000 megawatts to the power-starved valley in late December, several months ahead of schedule. A dearth of suitable roads in some remote areas meant dozens of mules were used to haul construction material and Sterlite hired an air crane from Erickson Inc. to lift pieces for transmission towers to peaks as high as 3.8 kilometer (12,500 feet) in the Pir Panjal Range. "We got incredible support from the state government," said Agarwal, Sterlite's CEO. "We've been working relentlessly despite the curfews, despite the unrest in Kashmir."
Winter Freeze
A second project managed by state-owned Power Grid Corp. will run electricity 350 kilometers from Srinagar to the Ladakh region in the state's northeast, bordering China. "Kashmir and Ladakh freeze in winter," said Nirmal Kumar Singh, Jammu & Kashmir's deputy chief minister, in an interview. "Transmission is a big hurdle." The state's peak power demand is about 2,700 megawatts, though it gets merely 2,100 megawatts -- about 1,100 megawatts from hydro electricity produced within the state and the rest from other states through an existing Power Grid transmission line. A lack of transmission capacity prevents it bringing in more. Dark Winters Ladakh, a desert region with about 300,000 people between the Himalayan and Karakoram mountains, gets only about 25 megawatts of hydroelectricity in summer. In winter, it plunges into darkness, save a couple of hours each day when army-supplied, diesel-powered generators run. Power Grid's line will cost Rs 2,200 crore and carry as much as 150 megawatts of electricity over mountains 4.6 kilometers above sea level when it's completed in 2018. "Our line passes through Drass, one of the coldest and highest inhabited places," said Anil Jain, an executive director with Power Grid, who anticipates electricity demand in Ladakh will boom once homes and businesses are connected to the grid. Providing power shows that the government in New Delhi is eager to develop the state and support the local economy, but more work is needed to resolve long-standing grievances, including a resumption of talks between India and Pakistan to settle a territorial dispute over Kashmir, said Zahid Shahab Ahmed, a research fellow at Deakin University in Melbourne, who focuses on peace and security in the Muslim world. 'Deep Wounds' "Deep wounds cannot just be healed by the constant supply of electricity," Ahmed said. "The people of Jammu & Kashmir need other freedoms, including security of their lives." The power projects may be helping on that front, too, by forging a more conciliatory and collaborative approach. After Sterlite faced initial resistance from locals, it suspected that state-sponsored protection could make it more vulnerable to attack and found it could better manage security using a private company staffed by mostly locals. Linking the remote Himalayan region to the national power grid symbolizes a commitment to strengthen ties with the country's farthest state, said Baba at the Central University of Kashmir. "The central government's push to increase power supplies is an important indicator that it's serious about bringing the state back into the national mainstream," he said.

All of the people working selflessly for others are truly "true and just".
I was watching this season's KBC episodes, and there are several true selfless individuals who appeared on his show. Such people truly count towards.
I can disagree with you for debate.. But that is not the purpose nor the reason for my question.
Same views myself. Pak Sunni Punjabis should be wiped out, and basically sunnis everywhere in Bharat, and that includes Bengladesh too.
What about reemerging Iran through with future nuke capability and its influence on the sihas in our subcontinent?? They will become a prblem then.
I see it as a step by step problem.
1. Pak Punjab destroyed first, reduce the sunnis in the sub continent subsequently.
2. Solve Iran and Saudi Arabs by making them fight eachother
Are there significant military leaders in army of same views with a plan to offece invade Pak. Understandable ofcource if you don't reply thinking you will be giving out too much.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday tore into the Congress while replying to the Motion of Thanks on President's Address. Mr Modi directly attacked the Gandhis and the Congress democracy is India's tradition and his government does not need a lesson on it. The Prime touched upon all the states heading to polls this year, including Karnataka and the Northeast. In a bid to calm ally TDP in Andhra Pradesh, he alleged former prime minister Rajiv Gandhi "humiliated" leaders from the state.
Here are Prime Minister Narendra Modi's top five quotes
Here are Prime Minister Narendra Modi's top five quotes
- "You divided India. Even after 70 years of Independence, 125 crore people of India continue to suffer because of the poison you sowed. Not a single day passes when people of India are not punished for your sins."
- "This is the same party that divided India. For decades, one party devoted all their energies to serve one family. The interests of the nation were over looked just for the interests of one family."
- "Had Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel been the first Prime Minister, a part of Kashmir would not have been under control of Pakistan"
- "Please look at our rich history where there are many examples of rich democratic traditions that date back centuries ago".
- "I know it pains you to hear all this. But the people of this nation already gave you a bitter pill to swallow few years ago. May be you've still not come to terms with it"
Had Sardar Patel Been Prime Minister, Full Kashmir Would've Been Ours: PM
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday tore into the Congress during his speech in Lok Sabha, for motion of thanks to the President's address. Mr Modi directly attacked the Gandhis and the Congress, blaming them for India's partition; he also said democracy is India's tradition and his government does not need a lesson on it
The house adopts the motion of thanks to the President's address. Lok Sabha adjourned till 3 pm.
I reiterate to those in the Congress that to achieve big things, you need to be have a big heart. My appeal to all of you present here is that we have to create a new India. Let us work together to fulfil the dreams of the people: PM Modi in Lok Sabha
The nation's army was standing ground in Doklam but leaders of one party preferred to meet Chinese officials. The same party questions the army on surgical strikes. It was a time when the government, the opposition and all parties should've stood together: PM Modi in Lok Sabha
I have proof of how the Congress looted and plundered India. You will pay for your sins. Time has come for you to be held accountable and answerable to the people of India, says PM Modi in parliament
The workings of our previous government are responsible for the NPA mess. They are 100% responsible and nobody else. The banking policies of the previous governments were not proper. The middlemen were happy but the country was suffering, says PM Modi
Loans were given without any scrutiny, they were distributed like sweets. Your bad decisions have directly been the reason for failures: PM Modi
It was for the nations benefit that I was silent when you kept saying whatever you wanted. I worked silently for the benefit of the nation... but the time has come for the people to know the truth. Of how the Congress had completely ruined the nation. I stand here to in the Parliament - the temple of democracy - and say on record that the entire failure and the entire problem of India's NPAs are because of you. Since we have come to power not a single such case has happened, PM says in parliament
I know the Government's efforts to eliminate corruption & black money are hurting a select group of people. Today, people who served as Chief Ministers are in jail. However powerful one was, if one has been corrupt, that person will be punished. We are in an era of honesty: PM Modi
India's middle class desires good education facilities, affordable housing, good infrastructure. They want 'Ease of Living' which we are committed to providing. You keep shouting, we'll keep working, says PM Modi in Lok Sabha
The Congress just doesn't know how to deal with all the work they see being done. When the GST happened, and they saw its success, they didn't know how to react, so they made a joke of it: PM Modi
The real reason for these upset lot of people you see is that when the corrupt and middlemen are out of work, the Congress will obviously be unhappy: PM Mod
When our Government took office in 2014, the chorus from the opposition was - Modi will scrap Aadhaar, but when we made Aadhaar more effective in terms of enabling better and effective service delivery, suddenly the opposition began opposing Aadhaar, says PM Modi in Lok Sabha
While our government opened bank accounts for the poor and ensured that pensions and transfers benefit the poor farmer, the housewife, old people and widows, the Congress in their time looted the poor by opening pension accounts and gave monetary benefits to widows for those who were never even born. Money was laundered and went to the pockets in the name of widows who were never born in the first place. Speaks a lot about your values and your work, says PM Modi
Our government had the opportunity to prepare an aviation policy that focuses on smaller cities, towns so that more Indians can fly. Today, tier-2 and tier-3 towns in India are getting air connectivity. Almost a thousand new aircraft have been ordered. So, who is doing the work?: PM Modi
A government that talked about 21st century could not bring an aviation policy. Then what kind of a 21st century did they talk about, the one with bullock carts, asks PM Modi
Employment rate is increasing but you have closed your eyes. You are busy singing your songs. The truth is that you have never worked with a large heart. You have always catered for petty, selfish and personal gains. You need to think beyond yourself, you need to think about others, you need to have a large heart to work for the country. Sadly, that is not the case with you. Watch, learn and try to mend your ways: PM Modi
You might say whatever you want, but people are seeing and experiencing the change. Take the Northeast for example: Congress never did anything for the Northeast. I urge you to go there and see for yourself the sheer magnitude of work being done there now: PM Modi in Lok Sabha
The impact of Start-up India, Mudra Yojana, Entrepreneurship scheme, Skill India, and Make in India reveal that the truth is far from what the Congress believes and says: PM Modi
I can see the energy and enthusiasm in our youth. They want to do something on their own, they want to launch their own start-ups. Our government is giving wings to the aspirations of India's middle class, says PM Modi in Lok Sabha
10 crore loans have been given under the PM Mudra Yojana. Not a single case of robbery, not a single complaint.10 crore loans are not a small number my friends, it is providing jobs to many more, says PM Modi
Stop misleading the country by false statements on jobs and employment. The truth is quite the opposite: PM Modi
Your slogans and shouting will never be able to stop me. So, you can continue wasting your time, says PM Modi in Lok Sabha
On independence day, I had said, multiple times, that key legislations have been passed and important decisions were taken thanks to the efforts of ALL parties, including the Congress. I gave credit where it was due... I challenge you to show me a single Congress Prime Minister who has ever said something like this... who has given due credit. No, for them there is nothing outside the family: PM Modi
The way people of Rajasthan were misled about the Barmer refinery was appalling. Just for votes, lies were said. It is in the last three years that the Government of India and the Rajasthan Government worked together to sort out the pending issues: PM Modi in Lok Sabha
I know it pains you to hear all this, but the people of this nation already gave you a bitter pill to swallow few years ago. Many of you have still not come to terms with it, but hear some more...: PM Modi
The approvals by the Yeddyurappa government in Karnataka made it possible to work quickly on the rail line. We do not bother who is the local MP or MLA, which party they belong to. We serve the nation and care for 125 crore Indians: PM Modi
Since (Mallikarjun) Kharge Ji spoke about railways and Karnataka, let me tell the truth about the Bidar-Kalburgi rail line. The project was approved by the Vajpayee Government and from 2004 till 2013 nothing was done. It is when a Government under BS Yeddyurappa gave approvals that work could begin: PM Modi
More villages are getting optical fibre network in the last three years than they got under all Congress-led governments. Just look at the transformation that's happening now: PM Modi in Lok Sabha
When we compare the work done in 3 years of the NDA government to that done by the Congress in the past, when we compare the facts, figures and numbers... well, what comparison are we even talking about...there is none. The Congress has failed the people miserably, so let me give you the numbers: PM Modi
In December, did we witness an 'election' or coronation for the post of Congress President? One youngster raised his voice about this as well, says PM Modi in Lok Sabha
If Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel would have been the first prime minister of the country, entire Kashmir would have been ours: PM Modi in Lok Sabha
What started from Independence has now become the only thing that Congress does - defend one family, says PM Modi in parliament

A government that talked about 21st century could not bring an aviation policy. Then what kind of a 21st century did they talk about, the one with bullock carts, asks PM Modi
Employment rate is increasing but you have closed your eyes. You are busy singing your songs. The truth is that you have never worked with a large heart. You have always catered for petty, selfish and personal gains. You need to think beyond yourself, you need to think about others, you need to have a large heart to work for the country. Sadly, that is not the case with you. Watch, learn and try to mend your ways: PM Modi

No, for them there is nothing outside the family: PM Modi

The approvals by the Yeddyurappa government in Karnataka made it possible to work quickly on the rail line. We do not bother who is the local MP or MLA, which party they belong to. We serve the nation and care for 125 crore Indians: PM Modi
Since (Mallikarjun) Kharge Ji spoke about railways and Karnataka, let me tell the truth about the Bidar-Kalburgi rail line.
