Rishikesh Thinking

Kashmir’s problem is deeply rooted in the hoary past. This wouldn’t have been
there had the then leaders taken a decisive action either way.The then Prime
Minister Jawahar Lal Nehru was dithering and fell into trap and idealism of his own.
There was no scope for the advise of the then Home Minister Sardar Ballabh Bahi
Patel. Today,even the supposedly most liberal of Kashmiri leaders are talking
in the same language as the most hard core Kashmiri militants. Daughter of
former Union Home Minister Mufti Mohammad Said and son of Farooq Abdullah,
Omar Abdullah are almost toeing the line of the separatists.
Why cant not they see the truth lying in not distant history.Kashimiris need a balm.
A petty matter of land transfer is forcing the devided states rivals to harden their respective stance on a trivial subject. Violence must end now inthe interest of of nation and state.
Quite surprisingly, even the most liberal of the Kashmir thinkers are now showing
their real face at this juncture . In the mnatter of Kashmir,Nehru had been proved wrong several times in the past. Time has come to resolve this issue once for all not only for the benefit of the people Kashmir but also for the entire nation
