Its seems that newsweek is outsourcing journalist jobs to india. first that moron Fareed zakeria and now full indian call center in action.

I am cancelling my subscription and going with TIME. You know i never agreed with Bill O"reilly but i guess he was right when he said newsweek is looney bin

They have to hire Hindus because you Muslims are busy blowing yourselves up and killing innocents everywhere to do anything productive.

This entire assumes that Kashmir is a part of India, that it is a state like any other Indian state. But that suggestion/assumption is erroneous because Kashmir is a disputed territory, not part of mainland India. Therefore, the secession of Kashmir is very different from the secession of any other state/part of a state. The Kashmiri people have never accepted the Indian government as their own. From the partition of India in 1947 till today the Indian government has tried to paint the picture that everything in Kashmir is 'okay', that the people living in the Kashmir valley do not really mind being a part of India- this is completely false. The Kashmiri people now, just like 60 years ago, want either independence or to join Pakistan. The reality is that India has never allowed a fair plebiscite that will decide the fate of Kashmir. I urge the writers of the article that same thing I would like to tell the Indian government: stop pretending like things aren't that bad. The Kashmiri people do not want to join India.

I am a Hindu Indian. That does not stop me from believing that Kashmiries ( of both POK and Indian Kashmir) should be given a chance of self determination and deciding if they want to be independent or join PakI am a Hindu Indian. That does not stop me from believing that Kashmiries ( of both POK and Indian Kashmir) should be given a chance of self determination and deciding if they want to be independent or join Pakistan or join India. I still vividly remember a classmate (in a college in south India) of mine from Kashmir during 1980-84. he would always refer to his homeland as Kashmir and never as India. Would say things like.. Your India is soo developed! He would never relate well with even Indian Muslims. If some one does not believe he is an Indian in his heart no matter what force or delaying tactics you use he would never ever belong. What happens to them after a separation is their fate. When British were ruling India even they said things like white mans burden.. What would happen if we leave.. Indians can not rule themselves. What did we tell them? Why we get upset if Kashmiries tell us the same?
I very strongly believe that Kasmiries are better of in India than in Pakistan or being independent. But I am not a Kashmiri!

amazingly biased and presumptious article. no talk of UN resolutions or Nehrus promise of holding a plebicite. brushing aside the number of people killed.but to be honest if i was in the shoes of the authors id write the same way.

India is a democracy only for the Brahmins. Muslims, Untouchables and Christians face the worst kind of discrimination imaginable. Google 'Sachar Report' for more details.
