The process could be expedited if India's coveted permanent seat in the UNSC was tied to the long awaited plebiscite...not super likely I know, but a possibility, especially if the US decides it needs a stable base in the region.

I do not think the public opinion in India will allow for a separation of kashmir state. However, after few decades, who knows?
If it takes 190 years or even hundred years, demographics can change and the public opinion in kashmir might change. My point was that Kashmir of today is not what it was 1500 years or even 500 years ago. The change of the religion has brought a major change in the lifestyle and thinking of the people.
