Kashmir...
I have grown up with willing it to be a part of India!
it was before too; yes! but somehow I don't think that was just enough.
and yes, possibly our neighbors have the same dreams too...
but the thing is...
u cant erase what the mindset has been when it has been there for decades!
Jammu and Kashmir or J & K has always had a troubled and flawed sort of starting up since the divide!
and i think at the time of independence the ministers were willing to do just abt anything to bring Kashmir to either of the two countries
and somehow when India won, there were repercussions; which i think wud have been there even if Pakistan had taken it... there have been wars for it and they r still going on in some form or another
what the bad thing is: is the delay that was made
the article shud have already been abolished long before, after been looked at by the wining governments them
and they didn't
its all the years of oppression of not feeling as an integral part of one country; liking what the other has to offer... not realizing the starting of war and the terror has never been from this side.
now that the article has been revoked, the people feel as if something that was safe-guarding them and something that they have grown up with has been taken from them
that there is such unrest
but they r part of the country
A part we have longed to be always ours atleast i have
but i don't spend my waking hours thinking about their unrest, and the news of them not having internet connections for 93 days doesn't bother me as it should!
i think we wanted them and now we have them so we aren't bothered for them...
but we'll only deserve them if we stand by them and think for them!
are we ready to deserve them??
