India wants the whole of Kashmir, Pakistan’s first love is Kashmir and India-Pakistan fought wars over Kashmir.Yes,it is a great love-hate triangle of  two Nations with Kashmir forming the top point.

                                                                                                    Whenever ‘Kashmir’ is mentioned, first of all ,its natural beauty comes to mind. There are many beautiful places on earth, but none better than Kashmir.Atleast who have visited Kashmir once ,believe if there is a paradise on earth, it must be Kashmir. Kashmir, which derives its name from Rishi Kashyapa who reclaimed the land of the Kashmir valley from a vast lake, known as ‘Satisar’,is full of snow clad mountains ,springs,lakes,valleys,beautiful gardens, ancient temples and mosques. Whoever visits the Kashmir valley cannot stop adoring the natural beauty of valley. Even almighty lord Shiva visited Kashmir valley with his wife Paravati.

                                                                                          Nothing is perfect in this world. Kashmir, arguably the most beautiful place in the world ,has seen three  wars being fought over it and the fourth one is still in progress since 1989.There will be no place in the world for which so many people have lost their lives and  property. Kashmir has been the bone of contention between India –Pakistan since 1947.They first attacked Kashmir in October 1947 with the help of Tribesmen and regular army. Pakistan rulers have always dreamt of merging Kashmir with Pakistan since it has majority Muslim population. Had not the then ruler of Kashmir ,Hari Singh shown the wisdom of signing the instrument of accession to India on Oct 26 1947,whole of Kashmir may now have been the part of Islamic republic of Pakistan. Still Pakistan got part of Kashmir which we call Pak occupied Kashmir and they call ‘Azad Kashmir’

                                                                                                    India has been generous to Pakistan .India showed its generosity in 1971,when it had odd 90,000 Pakistani soldiers in its captivity and it did not pressurize Pakistan to accede Kashmir  to India. After 1971 war, Pakistan establishment quickly realized that India cannot be defeated by Open war. So in 1989,Pakistan started a proxy war with India .Worst victims were people of Kashmir particularly Kashmiri pandits.They have become refugees in their own country.

                                                                            Now let us face the present reality. Both countries are now  nuclear powers. The best part of nuclear weapons is their fear, so open war is out of question now. Status-quo is the only possibility. For peace to return ,Pakistani rulers should now give their dream of Kashmir and face the ground reality. Pakistan should put its resources to use for the upliftment of its own people rather than thinking about the downfall of India. Pakistani rulers should care about welfare of people of Kashmir rather than crying for human rights violation on other side of border.India,on its part should shed its image of soft state. Face bullet with bullet and flower with flower. Let Kashmir be remembered as the most beautiful place rather than deadliest place on the earth to live in.

LET THERE BE GREAT LOVE TRIANGLE.
