Fianlly there is some Indian with self respect- Bravo Vir Sanghavi!!

I feel immense happiness in reading the latest column of Vir Sanghavi "Think the Unthinkable", which is available at Hindustan Times website
http://www.hindustantimes.com/StoryPage/FullcoverageStoryPage.aspx?sectionName=&id=37ea1a37-c222-41e7-8b19-859b5fd34cbdAmarnathLandRow_Special&&Headline=Think+the+Unthinkable
Finally someone has enough self respect.
And while Sanghavi raises the stark contrast between Kashmiri separatism and others, and agree that there is something in Kashmiri separatism which makes it less likely to be extinguished, he does not say anything about Islam. I do not think any region where 90 % of population is Muslim has lived willingly with any state for long. No other insurgency was fuelled by religion except Khalistan. But Sikhism, is not a separative religion viewing the world in terms of believer and infidels, and does not have exclusivinist and ideologies promoting fragmentation in its core scriptures. It does not call for active conversion or annihilation of unbelievers in its scriptures, it does not have a room for establishing a state based on scriptural texts and so on. While Kashmiris have been quite successful in portraying their struggle as secular, and we ourselves have knwoingly refused to acknowledge it but right from the begining, from the purging of HIndus from the valley, to violent protests against current Land transfer to a shrine which is dear to HIndus all over the world- they have shown their true colours.
Using lot of data and facts Sanghavi brilliantly demonstrate how we treat Kashmiris like privileged lot (though they fully sympathesise with Pakistan), as compared to hundred of millions of poor Indians who take fully pride in being INdian, abide by constitution, has not turn to rebellion against state though they are living in most abject conditions. We are like some poor lover who is selling blood to woo a mistress who hates him and only dreams of dumping him.
And Kashmir alwyas keep us at the level of Pakistan, and we are not left with enough energy to deal with other problems like education and health care of citizens, improvement in internal security. Just other day the bill to make primary education compulsory was not passed because state and center expressed their inability to generate enough funds. While they can get billions to squander in Kashmir.
BRavo Vir SAnghavi.
I think it will start a sensible debate.
Moreover, 21 st century will be the century of 'self determination'. And if 90 % Kashmiris want to cling to Pakistan or freedom, no one would be able to stop it. If Indians will suppress it brutally(like China(, it will not only damage credibility but also damage the principles of democracy and human rights of which we profess to be the biggest custodian.
