" What forces must cohere to enable a just peace to emerge in a democratic Kashmir in the foreseeable future?"
And so the analysis of Richard Shapiro ensues.POK or PCK whatever one may choose to call it,is never mentioned. Nor is Pakistan's role in fomenting terrorism in Indian Kashmir and India finds a mention. Pakistan,it seems,in his opinion, doesn't have anything to do to enable "a just peace to emerge in a democratic Kashmir in the foreseeable future".
Even Junaid ignored my question about whether he things only India is the occupying nation or he holds Pakistan too as one.(If he replied then I missed it.)I fail to understand why Pakistan gets a free pass.
