I am a Kashmiri, who would earnestly like independence of Kashmir from India, for I have not hidden that fact, whereas you are a racist and bigot(the KKK would be proud) who masqurades under the name of a muslim. Amnesty International has documented various violations of Human Rights carried out by the Army of the 'democratic' republic of India.The states of Kashmir,Assam, Bihar and Nagaland want independence from India. The Indian government knows too well that in a referendum the people of these states would choose freedom, so to dissuade them India has stationed the largest number of troops in Kashmir(500,000+). even during peaceful protests the Indian forces were ordered to shoot on sight, so much for Indian democracy.
Another lie perpetuated by 'Shah Rukh' is the forced conversion of hindu's to Islam, this is historically incorrect as Islam was spread by the Sufi's, who arrived 700 years before the Moghul dynasty.
'Shah Rukh' you are like a Chameleon, your views are not based on Humanity, or respect for human rights, but an ingrained hatred of Islam, this I can only assume is maybe you are a member of RSS(Gandhi's murderers),VHP or BJP. All of these groups feel they need to attack Muslims and Christians, because a lot more Low caste Hindu's are converting to these religions. Since their own Fellow upper caste Hindu's treat them with such disdain.

November's terrorist rampage in Mumbai is bringing more pressure than ever on Pakistan to eliminate the thousands of armed extremists who are operating from its soil. But the Pakistani Army insists it's already doing all it can with the limited equipment it has. To do more, the country's top military men say, they urgently need the improved gear that the United States has been promising them for years. "We are on a war footing," says Pakistan's national-security chief, retired Army Gen. Mahmud Ali Durrani. "But [the U.S.] supply chain is working on a peacetime basis. You have to support us at much greater speed."
Senior Pakistani officials say Washington promised in 2004 to deliver 20 Cobra helicopters within two years. Four years have passed, they complain, and only 12 have arrived. They need the remaining eight in a hurry. "We're burning them up at quite a rate," says a senior Pakistani official who declined to be identified because of the subject's sensitivity. "We use them aggressively in combat almost daily." Complaining to the Americans seems to do at least some good. Lately, he says, they've expedited the release of spare parts for the existing fleet of Cobras. Still, the Pakistanis have a long backlist of items they need in the war against the militants. A few examples:
• Precision-laser target designators for their F-16 fighters, helicopters and infantry to minimize collateral damage from strikes against militant hideouts.
• Laser-guided bombs and ammunition for use with the targeting devices.
• Night-vision aviation goggles. "We have received some but we need more," says the senior official. "You can't fly at night without them."
• Jamming equipment to protect military vehicles from IEDs.
• Electronic eavesdropping equipment to find and monitor militants' communications.
The Pakistani military has "a reasonable basis for complaint," says a congressional staff expert on U.S. arms sales who is allowed to speak only on background, "but that's universal, not unique to Pakistan." Nevertheless, he says, the delays probably arose at least in part from Washington's impatience at the previous regime's reluctance to take decisive action against the militants. Former president Pervez Musharraf often promised to get tough, but his efforts always seemed halfhearted. In situations like that, the congressional source says, "there's a drill that's as old as the hills, which is you do the slowdown of deliveries … I think a lot of this came to a head prior to the changeover of government in Pakistan, so things may be getting better now." Pakistani troops can only hope so.
