Do Pakistanis think that India-Pakistan relations can become friendly only if India gives Kashmir to Pakistan? Quora Question???????
No, it is not the real aim of Pakistanis, but it's just a ploy. Pakistan may think so but that would not necessarily end up the tussle of Kashmir existing since independence.
May be Pakistanis think that Kashmir is theirs but in 1946 elections which were held for the constituent assembly of India to frame Constitution & Muslim league took the matter of creation of Pakistan to the electorates in 1946 as their sole single point agenda. Muslim league gathered no support except forming Government in Bengal and forming a coalition Government in the Sindh.
This is significant that many Muslims were against Partition in the name of religion as they could foresee the fate. This may be the reason that all Indian Muslims who opted to stay in India rejected Pakistan & even today have no plans to go there. Many have never visited Pakistan since Independence. Maulana Abul Kalam Azad who was a congressman who stayed in India & went on to become the first education minister in Independent India & he is the one responsible for establishing IITs.
And 1946 constituent assembly elections were not held in Jammu & Kashmir because it was a princely state. So to confirm the state of Jammu & Kashmir is a Muslim majority is not substantive statement. All Muslim majority places of the erstwhile British India belongs to Pakistan is a notion and inaccurate assumption, if that is so why Hindu majority areas or cities of Khulna, Jessore, Karachi went to Pakistan. It has no foundation and the only logic followed is the negotiating skills of Jinnah Vs Gandhi- Nehru combine at the round table conference in London prior to Partition of India.
So Pakistanis have right to their own opinion and wishful thinking that Kashmir should be part of Pakistan only on the basis that any area Muslim majority should go to them as default. But the major factor is its people, Hyderabad Nizam and Junagarh Nawab wanted to be in Pakistan with Hindu majority people but could not sustain its wish. Main thing is the free will of its people; no Kashmiri popular leader has so far declared that they want to join Pakistan.
Based on various book readings by majority Pakistani authors, admissions of Pakistani Generals of war, BBC source and talk shows by Barrister Hamid Bhasani the Kashmiri now staying in Canada, the following summary of facts emerge.
India had to defend itself against Pakistan in many wars solely on Kashmir cause, if we start from 1947 immediately after independence, Pakistan with its tribal force attacked Kashmir, keeping the people of Jammu & Kashmir and Maharaja Hari Singh completely in dark about its intention to do so. Ultimately because of this aggression Maharaja had to accede to India through an instrument of accession which was unconditional to save Kashmir.
In 1965 the Pakistani military administration had a wrong information that Kashmiris themselves have become ready for occupation by Pakistan so 400 soldiers with arms & ammunitions were send to Kashmir to help the freedom fighters. This intention of Pakistan was not known to either Sheikh Abdullah or the people of Kashmir. Pakistan brutally lost the war with Karachi port totally destroyed. Lahore just got saved from being occupied by India. Here Pakistan was the belligerency initiator party.
1971 Pakistan started operation search light in East Bengal and brutalized the Bengali people, 3 million people died, 450 thousand women raped, 100 thousand women become pregnant with Pakistani soldier’s children, it created 10 million or more refugees at Indian border & Henry Kissinger US Secretary of State or National security advisor in a breakfast meeting with Indira Gandhi in Delhi refused to help the situation. India was poor country then & upkeep of 10 to 20 million refugees from across the border was impossible for India to sustain. Indira Gandhi took action & helped those Bengalis who were penniless, armless to gain independence. Pakistan in retaliation attacked India’s western border. Thereafter 93000 Pakistani soldiers had to surrender at Dhaka on 16th Dec 1971. That time also Kashmir was attacked but had to retreat due to Indian rebuttal. So this time as well Pakistan was aggressors, but realized can’t win conventional wars against India.
In 1999 Pakistan even did not acknowledge the presence of its own regular army men at the heights of Kargil but was soon detected and driven out. Pakistan refused to accept the dead bodies of the soldiers of war. How would the parents of those soldiers felt, I am unable to imagine. Pakistan this time resorted to proxy war & refused to get involved in conventional war fully knowing that it cant sustain.
Hence if Kashmir is given then all issues will be solved amongst India Pakistan and Pakistan has all rights on the Kashmiris only reason being they are Muslims is what Pakistanis may think momentarily out of emotion but this is not the opinion in India for certain and has no logical basis.
The prime reason being the Kashmiris themselves don’t like Pakistan & they seek Indian democracy, secularism, equality & grass root democracy. So they are now seeking Nizam e Mustafa in panchayat elections in 2018. This would be revolutionary happening on the part of Kashmir and things will change for ever.
If Pakistanis apply the above historical discourse & logic, then they might arrive at the right conclusion devoid of emotional reasoning & mere obsession with Kashmir, without any connection with Kashmiri culture, sentiment, tradition.
Therefore, not an inch of land or anything is to be given to Pakistan any further. Like as said in Mahabharata (नहि दिबन् सुचग्र मेदिनी) meaning the land which could be accommodated on the tip of the needle can't be given away by India. The moment you give them something they will come up with something else. Their demand is endless. The very foundation of the dispute is excessive, extreme greed & desire for everything that is India.
Kashmir is fountainhead of India & cannot be given away to anyone, however great the reason may be. Kill all of us & then take away whatever you want on our dead bodies, but as long as the last seed & descendant of Bharat is alive, nothing more can be given away.
Actual motive of Pakistanis is Gawza e Hind or Dar Ul Islam or full fledged Islamic caliphate or rule. They will not be satisfied till this happens.
Now India had given one third of J&K in 1947, Captured Lahore etc., returned in 1965: but no gratitude shown.
1971 Pakistanis dug grave for Bangabondhu Sheikh Muzibar Rahman with a definitive intent to kill him, but international pressure created by Mrs Indira Gandhi saved Muzib, today Bangladeshis don't even acknowledge India's contribution in making Bangladesh free & Independent nation! At that time India could have annexed it, but gave it away!
Pakistan is an acronym, with no history, no culture, no tradition etc to substantially talk about. Demand for Kashmir therefore is nothing but bad dreams of Army Generals for pure satisfaction of their ego. (वर्दी की खवाब)
Creation of Pakistan is the whim & fancies of few wealthy affluent landlords or Nawab ki Khawab (नवाब की खूवाब) which was founded on absolutely baseless, illogical theories like two nation theories etc. For this so called two nation theory a non-practising muslim named Mohammed Ali Jinnah was selected to act in the play. But the actor couldn't really get into his character like Bollywood superheroes due to usual disconnect with himself & the character. This theory thus was long immersed in the bay of Bengal in 1971. So it is proved beyond doubt that based on any religion no country can be made, otherwise there wouldn't have been Oman, Yemen, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Syria etc all contiguous states but not one country says Prof Faizan Mustafa of Aligarh Muslim University.
What Pakistan has got in common with Kashmiris, neither language, nor tradition or culture has got any kind of connect or similarity. In fact there is nothing called Typical Pakistani, as all these are either Punjabi or something else. Today Balochistan is trying hard to come out of the clutches of Pakistani acrimonious rule & military atrocities. Things are not gelling together. Military is commanding the Army, Administration, Business as well. Very unusual situation of Army conducting all business, real estate etc., not much seen anywhere in the World!
Civilians & civil society are actually mute spectators of inferior Army Governance. But like as (हती के दात दिखाने के कुछ और खाने का कुछ और) the civilian authorities are for show, like this camaflouging the real intent & reality how long one can proceed? This has been duly understood by @RealDonaldTrump therefore he has stopped all kinds of aid & he is blocking Pakistani aid from IMF as well.
Another incident worth mentioning here is giving away Sylhet District of Assam in 1947 to East Bengal. Sylhet was very prosperous & productive district of Assam since 1873. But Jinnah demanded it & agreed for a referendum on the ground that it is Muslim majority district of Assam. Whereas for all India scenario Jinnah never accepted the idea of referendum! But if one makes a close observation on the issue the results of referendum was around 200K in favour of Pakistan 150K for Sylhet to join India. Now in that election Hut & Axe were two boxes there for people to vote, Hut where ballot paper to go for India, Axe box where ballot will count for Pakistan or East Bengal. Now interesting fact is additionally 150K votes were declared invalid & another 200K tea estate labourers from 221 tea estates of Sylhet was not allowed to vote. These tea estate labourers had voted in 1946 constituent assembly elections - says Bidyut Chakrabarty Ex Prof of Delhi University in his book. It looks like Sylhet was given away by India by becoming victim of fraud, but whether that was intended or not shall be discussed another time, please stay tuned. (Voting figures are rounded off for ease of readability) That time also the same slogan was used, if Sylhet is given to Pakistan then all problems for Assam will be solved & Gopinath Bordoloi had fallen into this trap.
But giving away Sylhet did it solve any problems? NO, for certain, as it aggravated to further issues. After partition all Hindus headed for India, along with them Muslims also followed. That's why probably today Assam has foreigner’s problem & NRC debate etc., etc.
So it went on like this if Sylhet is given all problems will be sorted out for Assam, then if Pakistan is given all issues of civil war & communal riots will be solved in India. India is like now, “once bitten twice shy”, so now everybody knows if Kashmir given then nothing will happen & it will go on & on.
Hence by giving away Kashmir it may as well be reiterated that nothing will happen & it will aggravate the situation further and only history will repeat itself.
Hence Indian authorities are right in maintaining status quo on Kashmir.
Pakistanis have no logical conclusion to arrive at such denouncement.
