If Heaven Exists on Earth!!!It's here!!It's here!!These were the views of a great emperor Jahangir about Kashmir.
The heaven on earth. The crown of India.
The place where nature and humanity blends together and provide a soothing atmosphere.Even in modern times it has kept its serenity intact!!!
But is this fact true till date. We are reading so many horrible stories about Kashmir in newspapers, the massacre of 32 Hindus in Doda being the latest; that it would be easy to excuse if we start believing that the heaven on earth has been transformed to hell.
Actually tyhe problem of Kashmir is not as superficial as it looks. The anatomy of Kashmir problem is very complicated.The problem is often percieved as the clash between the two nations and more specifically the clash between Hinduism and Islaam. But it is not so.Both of these religions have bloomed in the Kashmir valley since the thirteenth century. The actual problem is that niether of the two countries is paying attention towards development of infrastructure of kashmir or for well being of its people. The results of this neglect are drastic.
Theb cost of this neglect is that Kashmir is torn about both at geogrophical and moral level; the latter divide being more drastic.This divide has prevented the development of a general consensus against the monster of Terrorism. Thogh it might be true that Terrorism is being sponsored by Pakistan, the major reason that it is flourishing in the valley is that the people of kashmir see no solace under the ageis of Indian government.The need of the hour is thus to develop out Kashmir. Of course this does not subdues the efforts of talks between the two countries or use of military actions against the terrorists; but the need of hour is to create a conducive atmosphere in Kashmir. This would ensure that people of Kashmir come out in their full force to curb terrorism.

Kulu, your views are correct. But before any development of the state can start, i feel the terrorists and their infrastructural base should be wiped out cleaning by Army action. What do you say? - Ranganathan
The army action sorowfully could not pinpoint the terrorists if they disguise as general public!So what is need of the hour is that we should create a positive enviornment to ensure that the people raise against terrorism. Remember the classic case of Punjab. Although military action could also go side by side. But it is only a control step and not a remedy of problem!!
The Punjab Issue was dealt with an iron fist by the then Central Government. But in the past ten years there was been no government which is willing to take a clear stand on the issue. There seems to be a shortage of resolve among the administrators. Even if there are a few excesses by the Army, we have to sideline in the larger interests of the Nation. I suppose, only in a climate of harmony that growth and particularly new investments, local and foreign, can take place.
