Kashmir death toll rises as India faces fresh protests
Tags: PAKISTAN / INDIA
THE DEATH toll from the recent round of recurring clashes between demonstrators and the security forces in Indian-administered Kashmir province is now close to 50.
Most of the dead were shot by the security forces for defying a curfew.
Since the middle of June, the Kashmir valley has been rocked by violent agitation. Protesters, angry over decades of repressive Indian rule over their disputed Muslim-majority Himalayan province, have hurled rocks and set government buildings and vehicles alight.
Webmaster's Commentary:
Unfortunately, India is behaving as miserably imperialistically against Kashmir as the British did against India, before the popular revolt forced the British out.
India has a very brave decision to make, and a game-changing decision in terms of enhancing peace and stability in the entire region.
India needs to allow the Kashmiri people to determine their own destiny, with the long-promised referendum.
This is the only honest answer to ratcheting down the tensions in the region.
I hope Prime Minister Manmohan Singh recognizes, as hard as it is going to be, what the right thing to do here will ultimately be.
Otherwise, he - and the Indian and Kashmiri people - may well be looking at decades more of bloodshed and civil unrest.
