Excuse my rather comment, but to me Amir always seems to be living on another planet. I agree with Kamran that Kashmir is a political issue, has been for some time now. Its no point for us in Pakistan to ram through ideology on to the Kashmiris (the majority of them) who have never participated in any such struggle, except for when they were forced to by the Occupying Indian forces or their brothers from across the LOC.
I am not going into the casues and historical perspective of it all. All I am saying is that we need to wake up and smell the coffee here. Difficult as it is we have trouble in keeping a good state of affiars of whatever we have of Pakistan, including our tribal areas. Can we offer the Kashmiris a better deal that perhaps India can as this point in time.
Sorry to say but we have missed a lot of trains, including the train to Srinigar !! Ideologically we may continue to aspire the longing for Kashmir, because geographically and economically (with all our water ways flowing through it) it makes sense for Pakistan. As far as the relegious question, I don't think so. My personal opinion ofcourse.
