Ramchandra Guha described the 1947-plight of Kashmir: an apple that was perched precariously on the edge of India's basket, never completely in India's basket or never out of it.
2010 - Kashmir is still an apple on the edge of the basket. true, its government is a part of India, but do the people of Kashmir really have that sense of belonging to India ? Could we have a plebscite solution ? Could we attempt a partition of Kashmir ?
With the Urdu word jannat, Kashmir is the first thing that comes to my mind. As a cop deputed in the valley said about Kashmir now: its fraught with problems, but it is beautiful. it is worth fighting for.
