Time for democratic fundamentalism in J&K

No matter what people say, Sanghvi wrote a masterpiece. He expressed the frustration of the secular hindu to the sheer blackmail of last 60 years. Barkhaji and now Khare are waking up to what Sanghvi was talking about. Sanghvi's words need to be repeated..

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Given that Kashmir has the best deal of any Indian state, is there anything more we can do? Kashmiris talk about more autonomy.  But I don’t see a) what more we can give them and b) how much difference it will make.

If you step back and think about it, the real question is not “how do we solve this month’s crisis”?  It is: what does the Centre get in return for the special favours and the billions of dollars?

The short answer is: damn all.
