[Reader-list] The Deception of the Indian Liberal Discourse on Kashmir

[Kshmendra Kaul]

Dear Mani
 
You could be right. Maybe I am a 'brainless idiot'. So, help me understand.
 
1. You said "The sangh parivar has a lot to gain from the Hurriyat's behaviour". I agree on that. The "Hindutvavaadi" platform of the 'sangh parivar' get strengthened by "Hurriyat's behaviour".
 
In this does the 'sangh parivar' serve any business interests or itself gain monetarily?
 
2. You go on to say that "without suitable investments such actions cannot be induced.".
 
So are you saying, as you seem to be, that the "Hurriyat behaviour" is financed by the 'sangh parivar'? Or is there any other form of 'suitable investments' to 'induce' this  Hurriyat's behaviour"?
 
3. You describe the Hurriyat as being "supposedly 'antinationalist' ". Supposedly???
 
Are you saying that actually the Hurriyat are "Nationalist" and all this is a game between the 'sangh parivar' and "Hurriyat" for the sake of monetary gain? That this 'Independence Movement' in Kashmir is a stage managed farce?
 
That leaves me still wondering where the corporate/business interests fit in and which/who are they. 
 
Kshmendra

You are a brainless idiot.
Moreover you are suffering from fixed views and a fixed pre-1989
perspective on the Kashmir issue.

Would an 'independent' Kashmir or Kashmir integrated into (a near bankrupt) Pakistan provide more from 'corporate interests' or do Indian Corporates have deeper pockets for doling out money?

There are no 'Indian corporates' and 'Pakistani corporates', there are
mutual rivalries within corporates. If corporate X has a larger
control over party P, then party P wins will mean corporate X stands
to gain a windfall. But things get more complicated, when communal
aspects get involved. The sangh parivar has a lot to gain from the
Hurriyat's behaviour and without suitable investments such actions
cannot be induced.  When they were in power, they could drive the
country into war  with Pakistan, but do nothing on the J&K issue or
with the supposedly 'antinationalist' part of the Hurriyat.
