Comments on: Zardari on Kashmir - realpolitik or betrayal? http://blogs.reuters.com/pakistan/2008/03/03/zardari-on-kashmir-realpolitik-or-betrayal/ Perspectives on Pakistan Sun, 6 Jul 2008 22:03:11 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.3.3 By: Riaz Haq http://blogs.reuters.com/pakistan/2008/03/03/zardari-on-kashmir-realpolitik-or-betrayal/#comment-1579 Riaz Haq Sat, 05 Jul 2008 16:46:48 +0000 http://blogs.reuters.com/pakistan/2008/03/03/zardari-on-kashmir-realpolitik-or-betrayal/#comment-1579 I think the primary reason why the Pakistani blogosphere hasn't noticed it is because of its obsessive pre-occupation with the lawyers movement and continuing hostility toward Musharraf. In this atmosphere, the politicians like Zardari and Sharif are not getting appropriate scrutiny on other issues. Unlike the US and Europe, the blogosphere in Pakistan is relatively immature and it toes the line of the legacy media, rather than charting its own course as an alternative medium. I am hopeful this is going to change over time with the bloggers leading, rather than following the old media.

The Kashmiris want to be independent ... they do not want to align with either of the two countries and the reason being that they are extremely disillusioned with the Indian government as they havnt received the perks of democracy or economic development like the rest of the country....zardari's proposal would bring about rapid economic growth in both countries and thus in Kashmir.... so u see... start rationalising ppl!!! its about time we did!! and I say this as a Kashmiri pandit , who has been kicked out of her own homeland and hasn't even been able to visit it since the time she was born because of some confused ,juvenile fight.. wait a minute…. i dont believe this.. the first time someone talks sense on the subject and no one’s ready to accept it??? what is wrong with you ppl???
i think its about time both India and Pakistan made a choice between what they want and what they really need…. at this pont in time…neither of the two countries can afford another war or any other diplomatic stress for that matter… what do u want more a decent economic positioning in the world or do we want to be left childishly bickering over something that actually has a very simple solution? or rather what would u prefer , to be a country that others look up to or one that others make poverty-related jokes on?
ppl in pakistan should stop thinking of him as traitor to the ppp ideology and the bhutto’s….. the bhutto’s were rational ppl and Im sure if they were alive today , seeing the kind of trouble that has been caused, they would have come to a similar conclusion…
and as far as KASHMIR is concerned … i think we’ve all forgotten the key issue…
The Kashmiris want to be independent … they do not want to align with either of the two countries and the reason being that they are extremely disillusioned with the Indian government as they havnt received the perks of democracy or economic development like the rest of the country….zardari’s proposal would bring about rapid economic growth in both countries and thus in Kashmir…. so u see… start rationalising ppl!!! its about time we did!! and I say this as a Kashmiri pandit , who has been kicked out of her own homeland and hasn’t even been able to visit it since the time she was born because of some confused ,juvenile fight..
