Throughout this "illuminating session" I could not figure whether to LAUGH or to CRY (in disdain!) 😁
Next time DO please get a Chinese rep here — going by Mona ji's take on the "ecological side" …would've loved to hear their "Chinese whispers" (or spice?) in this delightful mix!!😁😁😁
I travelled to Kashmir about 16months ago and it was absolutely beautiful. It is heaven on earth and the people are extremely humble. There were armed Indian paratroopers standing on a very major road 250 meters apart. It was quite a sight. In Srinigar they are literally everywhere and I think 1-12 people in Kashmir is Indian soldier. Kashmir & Palestine will be free
lol too many salty Indians in comment section
Mafioso Modi and his BJP/RSS thugs hate Muslims and Christians, and yet they send millions of hindu labor to work in Saudi Arabia and America.
What's he saying at 1:11:28? It makes no sense. He says, they used militaristic policies, and then he says, in fact they wanted to sing "kun-baya" and make peace! Can someone clarify this?
OMG what a mess. __sad__ With weapons that cannot be used. I visited Kashmir back in August of 1979. Really does make me sad. I met school boys in the villages and Shepard boys in the mountains. I wonder what has happened to them. Probably turned into angry adults. The greatest American Poet Walt Whitman would be upset too.
Another stooge of Pakistan. She is not mentioning of Pakistan's role at all. That is why it is biased.
Totally false and biased presentation of history.
Kashmir is India's. Pakistan is a fake country.
If Kashmir was given a choice, they would have joined Pakistan over the long run and then the hindus in the region would have been under the same circumstance as the muslims are right now. Probably even worse since Pakistan is a quasi-theocracy and does not guarantee the rights of non-muslims.
I understand the Hindu perspective on this somewhat, they have been humiliated by muslims in the past, had their land taken away, put under muslim occupation and treated like second class citizens in their own homeland and now they are supposed to give up what was part of india long before muslims came simply because muslims managed to get a foothold through the centuries? For Indians it is simple, no more concessions, no more retreating, taking back as much as they can right now is what they will do because if they don't do that now then the Muslims surely will. It is a matter of cultural supremacy, survival and revenge.
It is sad but Kashmir is lost to both sides. Neither side is willing to let Kashmir be its own thing thus independent Kashmir is not possible. Muslims and Hindu Indians both see it as part of their greater domain and struggle, even independence, is as if they have surrendered to their opponent.
