Remember, I know nothing
Kashmir -- now wracked by an 18-year, bloody separatist campaign that authorities say has left at least 43,000 dead.
That's a fairly big problem, and I have a completely basic solution that just might work. Keep in mind, I've never been there, know no kashmiris, pakistanis, or indians. It's this: let the kashmiris decide. Decide between 3 choices: Pakistan, Kashmir, and India. Whoever wants to be a part of india and live under indian law and be a part of indian culture can do that, and the same for the other two. The land and resources can be split equitably among the percentages who want to be in each.
Alternatively, the 3 countries can become one country again, and they can just be one happy, possibly dysfunctional, but hopefully healing, reunited family.
Maybe they could vote on unification first, and then if that doesn't fly, have the kashmiris vote what national identity each individual wants to be. It should be positive, and I would hope the borders would be open, and the nukes will be disarmed, and everyone could live happily ever after in their great big asian yellow submarine. blub blub.
