While I was Studying...

An Indian engineer from Hyderabad was abducted on Friday by the Taliban in the Hassan Karez area of southern Zabul province, Afghanistan. The terrorists demanded all Indians in the country to leave by Sunday night otherwise they would kill the father of three young children.

The barbaric bastards beheaded him on Friday night itself.

Meanwhile, 35 Hindus were slaughtered to death in two separate incidents in Kashmir. 22 were shot dead.

In some ways I wish we had never exploded those nuclear bombs. At least by now we could've finished off that godforsaken entity they like to call Pakistan. Hopefully the Baluchis will raise the ante for the potential destruction of the world's most dangerous state-sponsorer of terrorism.

Oh and just for the record, Kashmir is neither Indian nor Pakistani. All of it, Pakistan included, belongs to India. Just tying up loose ends.

That is all.

I'm pretty sure there are Kashmiris who disagree. And for something that "belongs" to India, India isn't doing such a great job of taking care of it.

There was no such thing as India until the goddamn British got there.

it all belongs to Greater Bhutan!

that really sucks about the masacre. the real reason everyone wants kashmir is the water. thats why a solution agreeable to everyone is highly unlikely.

I honestly can't see the point in fighting over a strip of mountain that not many people can live on. The lives lost aren't worth it. From what I understand it's just turned into a matter of pride who ends up with Kashmir. One of those sad situations that requires compromise (that will never come).

Since I don't live in Kashmir nor have I ever, I feel that I have a legitimate right to it. It's true that my millitary arsenal doesn't nearly stack up against that of India or Pakistan (mostly because I don't have one). However I feel that I have a moral right to at least state my claim.

Hooray for four months in small town Canada. I'm bored already.

I was browsing profiles of people interested in Indian politics and came across yours.

The death of the engineer was shocking yet expected-we are dealing with the desperate Taliban here. I do wish the Governement would do more than make speeches. Perhaps if they stationed military there for protection of India civilians because we have vested interests in Afghanistan, for example the new oil pipeline deal.

Its depressing how Kashmir has been turned into a political battleground where innocents are losing their lives. Of course its nothing more than a prestige issue between the two countries. Though what would be the best solution I cannot say because I really do not know what the people in Kashmir want and what will actually benefit them the most...
