Like it or not, the Kashmiri people are a party to the resolution of the Kashmir conflict. And as much as you may want to convince yourself to the contrary, hatred of Indian occupation runs deep in Kashmir. The fact that your government has sent 700,000 soldiers into our tiny state...occupying farmland, schools, businesses, and homes...and empowered with the legal right to kill any Kashmiri civilian without so much as a shred of evidence (according to your Supreme Court's recent ruling)...doesn't really help either.
