India dosent honour the words of Its first Prime Minister

Extracts from Nehru's Broadcast on 2 November, 1947. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "We have decided to accept this accession and to send troops by air, but we made a 'condition that the accession would have to be considered by the people of Kashmir later when peace and order were established. We were anxious not to finalise anything in a moment of crisis, and without the fullest opportunity to the people of Kashmir to have their say. It was for them ultimately to decide. "And here let me make clear that it has been our policy all along that where there is a dispute about the accession of a State to either Dominion, the decision must be made by the people of the State. It was in accordance with this policy that we added a proviso to the Instrument of Accession of Kashmir. "We have declared that the fate of Kashmir is ultimately to be decided by the people. That pledge we have given, and the Maharaja has supported it not only to the people of Kashmir but the world. We will not, and cannot back out of it. We are prepared when peace and law and order have been established to have a referendum held under international auspices like the United Nations. We want it to be a fair and just reference to the people, and we shall accept their verdict. I can imagine no fairer and juster offer."

Dr Waleed..Did peace exist before 1989? Why were kashmiri pandits kicked off?
Blame is on both sides.. You are yourself a doctor..Did india deny you education(which is first and foremost way to prosperity)?

I have a kashmiri friend who was in college with me. He received the same education i did. Spent the same money i did. We were in same environment for four years. He now works for indian government and still he doesnt accept he is indian. Why are many kashmiris such hypocrites? Why ?

Sikh victimes of RAW-Mossad terrorism in Pakistan

In order to spoil the scheduled February 25 secretary-level meeting to improve Pakistan-India relations – the RAW-Mossad funded fake Tehrik-i-Taliban Pakistan (TTP) operatives killed two of its Sikh hastages whose bodies were found in Wazristan area on February 21. The Indian media and Hindu communal leaders along with Zionist-controlled western mass media was quick to use this incident to demonize Pakistanis for their hatred towards non-Muslims. TTP had kidnapped four sikhs, Jaspal Singh, Mahal Singh, Gurjit Singh and Gurvinder Singh. Pakistan Sikh Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee Sham Singh, however, in a conference confirmed that only Jaspal Singh had been killed. He also condemned India’s false propaganda against Pakistan by painting a wrong picture of Pakistan using this incident – while “Pakistan is not less than Heaven for Sikhs. We are safe here”.

TTP has a long history of terrorism against Pakistan Army and Pakistani civilians. It was Hakimullah Mehsud, a RAW-Mossad-CIA assest, who led the war in Swat against Pakistan Army and eventually killed byan American drone attack. TTP’s agenda is not far from the world Zionist agenda – destablization of Pakistan, the only Muslim nuclear power.

Except the Golden Temple in Amritsar (India) – almost all other Skih religious places happens to be in Pakistan’s various cities, township and villages. Since the establishment of Pakistan on August 14, 1947 – not a single Sikh Gurdawara (Temple) has been demolished – though most of them are being used as residential properties by the Muslims refugees from India. Contrary to that several Gurdwaras and over 3,000 Muslim mosques in India have been demolished and the land has been used for Hindu religious, commercial and industrial buildings.

In June 1984, Indian prime minister Indira Gandhi ordered a military attack on the Golden Temple (Operation Blue Star) in Amritsar to capture the Sikh militants who were demanding an independent state Khalistan on Indian province of Punjab. The military action resulted in the death of thousands of innocent Sikh worshippers and huge damage to the Gurdwara. Indira Gandhi paid the price for her religious hatred when on October 31, 1984 – she was murdered by her two Sikh bodyguards. In the aftermath, over 9,000 Skih men, women and children were put to death by Hindu mobs in New Delhi. No investigation of these two Sikh genocides have been coducted by New Delhi. Only a few months age, a Sikh journalist Jamail Sinkh threw a show at Indian interior minister Palaniappan Chidambaram to show his frustration at government’s inaction against 1984 attack on the Golden Temple.
