ASK ME ABOUT LUMBER

genocide is murder of a people, attacking their identity and suppressing their language etc

you could genocide a minority simply by stealing all their children at birth and banning anyone from learning the language, for example - after a generation, that people is no more. it's kind of old-fashioned nowadays because it's much easier to just chase people off and let them so their thing Somewhere Else

hence why the holocaust was a genocide, and hence why some people quibble about whether the armenian massacres technically constitute an attempt at genocide(they do)

whatever happened I'm sure we could all agree it would be a lot easier to resolve all these problems if Pakistan stopped protecting and arming Indian al Qaeda on their border at least?

I'm kind of biased on the Kashmir situation because I really viscerally dislike Pakistan and I can't shake the feeling anything they are involved in must be bad by association.

Pakistan are essentially a parasitic entity exploiting a situation that is presently largely of India's making. If the Kashmiri Muslims weren't getting raped every thirty seconds, they'd be a lot less interested in the standard state-sponsored terrorism export package from their friends across the border. Basically, you can believe that Pakistan is bad and that Kashmir probably needs to be free.

Did Pakistan shelter Osama bin Laden because India rapes Muslims too? Is that why they have armed and provided logistical support to the Taliban for the past three decades? During the 1971 war, is that why West Pakistan tried to genocide and rape East Pakistan?

If India is so bad to Muslims, why are there still more Muslims in India than in either East or West Pakistan?

Oh no, Pakistan is starting to arrest Muslims and shut down religious schools!! Won't someone think of the islamists??

Being realistic India really needs to just give up the 90% Muslim areas of Kashmir, ie the Kashmir Valley. Whatever about Jammu and Ladakh, where the demographics are more favourable, India is never going to be able to hold an area with that significant a Muslim majority, on the Pakistan border, peacefully. Especially not when their occupying troops are so rape and general crime inclined.

Give the population a UN monitored self determination plebiscite and let them go on their way.

Everything you post has this awful "but but but Pakistan is worse than India" angle. You really don't give two shits about Kashmir, only that apparently Pakistan is more evil than India. You come across like you'd consider it a win for the reputation of India if India murdered 1 million people but Pakistan killed a million and one.

I don't think anyone on this board is pro-Pakistan but every time you post you convince people to take an anti-India stance. In support of your own obvious agenda you really need to consider how you're coming across and damaging your own arguments each time you say something.

By this logic the southern US must be the best place for black people to live, since there's more of them there vs the other regions of the county. You don't need a passport to move from Mississippi to Montana, after all.

What do you think Shia Kashmiris think about independence? That's a rhetorical question I already looked up the answer and they want it almost as bad as the Sunnis, just as long as it isn't under IS.

svenkatesh I don't know why your heart is so full of hate, maybe there's something personal in your history, but the hate has twisted your countenance into an ugly mask. As long as Indians allow their reactions to be driven by the spite and pettiness you've evinced in this thread, it is hard not to conclude that Kashmiris have no choice but to fight for independence. I don't ever see independence happening realistically, so instead there's just going to be pointless violence and expense and waste and lives destroyed.

The Canadian practice of forcibly removing native children from their families? Genocide is the attempted destruction of an identity, murder might be the most straightforward way to accomplish that but there are plenty of other ways to do it.

Squalid posted:

I remember the thread you made after your trip! You had a lot of good pictures. I'm no expert but probably that thread and the resulting discussion is responsible for most of what I know about Kashmir, at least the little I remember.

I'm not surprised at the brutality Kashmiris are treated with, nor that they would want independence. I don't blame everyone for what happened in the past either, most would have almost certainly been bystanders. However I'm pretty sure that the same organizations who orchestrated the ethnic cleansing of the eighties and nineties would be who end up running an independent Kashmir. I'm not sure if that's a worse outcome than the status quo, but certainly it makes it hard to feel supportive for their goals and methods.

I assume you were just in the Kashmir valley? I suspect if you were to ask about independence in Jammu and Ladakh you would get a different response.

I'm already outside my comfort zone on these issues which I don't understand well so I don't really want to take a strong position. Mostly I just want Pakistan and India to stop killing each other and waving nukes around over poo poo that is ultimately of little practical consequence to either.

Yeah, I was only in the valley. I have a long story about trying to go into the mountains and being surrounded by a mob of angry villagers...but ultimately the roads were just impassable because "4x4" means nothing when it's written on an Indian SUV.

Another thing I didn't mention was electrical power. There's plenty of hydro - but from what I understood power was diverted away from the valley south so there were only ~6-12 hours of electricity a day in most places in the valley. Again this was 2009, I hope things have changed.

It's seriousposting, but it's not sincereposting. Dude was just frantically deflecting away from his transparently obvious lust for Muslim genocide. You see it a lot when Nazis who are trying to fit in get called out - they're so blinded by entitled rage that they can't even muster a decent defence even if they know they should.
