I've never been to Kashmir, nor do I know many Kashmiris. Maybe that makes me less qualified to speak on the subject, but I believe that I can speak on the subject from a logical perspective. We have to follow what the logical path of the Azadi will eventually lead to, we have to ask what exactly is Azadi?
If what they really want is a separate country because they want to be ruled by a government that represents the Kashmir Region, would they accept a state in which power was divided evenly among the Hindus, Muslims, and Buddhists? A state in which there is no one majority, but power is shared equally among all of the religious communities?
If self-determination is what they are after, then why does the Kashmir Valley need to be the location? If Pakistan is so concerned about the plight of the Kashmiris, why can't they carve out a piece of Pakistan where they can all move to and set up their uniquely Kashmiri country?
What rights or privileges are they being denied from the Indian State that they would only be able to get by forming their own state? Surely in the creation of this new state, the majority would instead seek to oppress the rights of it's minorities.
These questions must be asked to see what the true picture of Azadi looks like. We must look for the solution that allow the Kashmiri Pandits to return to their original homes, where they will feel secure in their being, and where they will have full freedom to practice their religion.
I have a very cynical view of what a Kashmir Nation would look like, and I think there is ample precedence for me to be.
