Hello friends,
There is one website where we can comment on the live on going cricket matches.
I was checking the scores and also reading the comments, which users were posting and I saw there was a verbal volley going on between Indian and Pakistani users.
They were using extremely bad words and it all started because some one brought the Kashmir issue in limelight.
That makes me wonder when are we going to stop fighting against each other for this same issue. It’s been forever and yet both the countries have not come into any conclusion.
Do u think if India gives Pakistan Kashmir or vice versa, things will resolve between both these countries forever?
Cheers,
Tutul

yes,i have also noticed comments on youtube and other video sites.its just hopeless.
the resolution of Kashmir issue will probably settle most of the problems between two countries,but it is not possible to solve it in the first place.
pak has already occupied part of Kashmir POK,but it seems they still want more,it is no surprise..terrorists are left to walk the streets of pak without any restrictions for example the alleged master mind of 26-11 attacks.clearly pak follows no rules whatsoever.terrorism will exist and we will have to live with this fact.the only way now to solve problems is to declare all out war and see who wins,(of course there will be some involvement of the UN)there will be bloodshed but it is better than what people are suffering due to terrorism.
nice discussion by the way!! :)

Hi shav,
Dont give up plz. If we are going to say that its impossible then there is no diefferance between us and the corrupt politicans we have in both the countries.
What we need is a bunch of leaders who can really look into this matter and try to solve the issue amicably. It isnt so big a problem. Also I find there shouldn't be any involvement of America in this issue.
I really dont understand y America has to get involved where its none of their business. Are we so incapable?
They never asked us or the Pakistanis before declaring war or peace in any country. SO we have to do this?

Hi
I recently received an sms, wanted to share it with you. So here it is;
An ingenious example of speech and politics occurred recently in the United Nations Assembly that made the world community smile. A representative from India began :
Before beginning my speech, I want to tell you something about Rishi (Saint) Kashyap of Kashmir, after whom Kashmir is named. When he struck a rock and it brought forth water he thought "What a good opportunity to have a bath". He removed his clothes, put them aside on the rock and entered the water. When he got out and wanted to dress, his clothes had vanished. A Pakistani had stolen them. The Pakistani representative jumped up and furiously shouted, "What are you talking about? The Pakistanis weren't there then". The Indian representative smiled and said, "And now that we have made it clear, I will begin my speech. And they say Kashmir belongs to them"
Thanks.

Hey prerna,
Iam not looking to add another conflict here. But wanted to ask people whether resolving Kashmir issue will solve the tension between this 2 countries somewhat.
Iam not very convinced that this may happen very soon as there is too much hatred inside people in both the countries and that is not a good sign.

Hi Tutul,
I don't think so that would resolve problem between pak and india.People of both side have bitterness towards each other since 1947. There is no solution to diminish this bitterness. Solution of any problem depends of acceptability and respect of both team with each others. Here both country neither able to accept any things nor respect thoughts of each other. Kashmir is just an issue to continue that hatred and it is game of politicians to keep people busy in them.
This fight you can compare with two brother who separated by fighting with each other and fighting for property of their father. so here both will try to gain more and more possible from property due to bitterness between relations. Have a nice time!!
Cheers

Hi Ranvir,
I have heard that this bitterness is created by media of both the countries, otherwise the common people like me and u from both the side have other things to do than bombing each other.
For example a friend of mine went to Scotland for studies and faced tremendous problems from Scottish people. He was racially abused by his employees there and later was helped by the pakistani locals there. His outlook towards pakistanis is totally differant.
There are good and bad people everywhere and I dont think the common man from the both nations are interested in wars. Its gonna hurt them the most in any case.
I believe there is no problem in the world which cant be solved sitting across the table.
Cheers,
Tutul

Kashmir is not only one issue between India and Pakistan. There are other issues as well. Security is the top issue between these two countries. Pakistan has refused to resume a series of composite dialogues on problems. We want that Pakistan should take some action against Pakistan-based militant groups. In particular, India wants Pakistan to show it is serious in rein, which had killed 166 innocent people. India suspects Pakistani security agents support some anti-India groups. Pakistan denies that and says the peace process should not be held hostage to "non-state actors".
Water is another issue. Pakistan says India is unfairly diverting its waters with the upstream construction of barrages and dams. Pakistan, dependent on the water to produce food for its growing population and underpin its economy, wants to put water at the top of the talks agenda, along with Kashmir. Indian denies any unfair diversion of Pakistani water.
SIACHEN too had been another bone of contention between India and Pakistan.
Indian and Pakistani forces have faced off across the Siachen glacier in the Himalayas, known as the world's highest battlefield at 5,500 metres (18,000 feet) above sea level, since 1984. The two sides have been trying to find a solution that would allow them to withdraw troops but India says it is unwilling to bring its forces down until Pakistan officially authenticates the positions they hold. Pakistan has said it is willing to do so but on the condition that it is not a final endorsement of India's claim over the glacier.
Another boundary dispute is over the 100-km (60-mile) Sir Creek estuary flowing into the Arabian Sea. The dispute has hampered exploration for oil and gas and led to the detention of hundreds of fishermen from the two countries, mostly in areas where demarcation is unclear. The two sides have conducted a survey and exchanged maps showing their respective positions.
Afghanistan has become a major source of friction although Indian and Pakistani differences over Pakistan's western neighbour have not been a part of their official talks. The two countries have long competed for influence there and Pakistan is deeply suspicious of a rise in India's presence after the fall of the Taliban in 2001. It accuses India of using Afghanistan as a base to create problems inside Pakistan, including backing separatists in its Baluchistan province. India denies the accusations, saying its focus is on development.
