Time to say Good Bye to Kashmir

It is a losing battle that the Indian Government is fighting in Kashmir.

When stones are thrown at the funeral procession of a Kashmiri soldier killed by Kashmiri militants, isn’t it time to say Good Bye?

When school girls get involved in stone throwing, isn’t it time to say Good Bye?

When there are no voters at election booths, isn’t it time to say Good Bye?

When a Kashmiri militant swears by ISIS and wants a Caliphate, isn’t it time to say Good Bye?

When locals help in infiltration of cross border terrorists, isn’t it time to say Good Bye?

When banks are looted and policemen killed in Kashmir with impunity, isn’t it time to say Good Bye?

When religion rules the roost with the so called Kashmiriyat giving way to persecution of Kashmiri Pandits, isn’t it time to say Good Bye?

When the cost of maintaining an army in Kashmir becomes humungous at the expense of poverty alleviation in the country, isn’t it time to say Good Bye?

When the vast population in southern parts of the country do not even know where Kashmir is, isn’t it time to say Good Bye.

When people in Ladakh and Jammu believe in a secular state isn’t it time to say Good Bye to Kashmir valley?

Let’s trifurcate J&K, get out of the valley and let the people there do whatever they want under a Caliphate or under Pakistan. Let’s draw a new international border and save our pluralistic state.
