Due to the clash between tourism and terrorism, instead of becoming the playground of Asia, Kashmir has become the battleground between India and Pakistan over the Kashmir issue. Now under the pressure of the USA, Pakistan has relinquished the path of war and accepted to pursue the path of peace and development with India in order to settle all outstanding issues including Jammu and Kashmir. In this stage, towards a sensible solution for the Kashmir imbroglio, ice has been broken between India and Pakistan following the model of the boundary talks between India and China.
I disagree with the Pakistan;Path Of Peace bit. IMO Pakistan has always tried to engage India in peace talks but they have always ignored the issue and do not even recognize it as a disputed territroy. I don't wish for war or the pain that comes with it, a mothers pain for a lost son is hard to say the least. But I don't think the issue will be resolved in the next 10 years, If the Indian Government and rest of the world continue to turn a blind eye to the Kashmiri atrocieties then I am thinking of joining a nationalistic Kashmiri freedom fighter group. Note that, not a religiously motivated but nationalistic, I don't think any religion is better than another, and I think the killing of civilians is wrong. If I do join though I will only fight soldiers but not citizens of India.
