Kashmir | A Political Ploy

As I close my eyes and drift away to a land where there is love, health, peace and blessings. I wanted to take the time to think and reflect.

     After the partition of India in 1947, the territory of Kashmir was not designated properly, and to the present day have been a source of dispute between India and Pakistan. Of course I have just really simplified the story, but really the violence and bitter deadly deaths are very real. The story continues as the cycles of violence have repeated themselves for years. However, we might ask why now? Why has violence erupted now? We could repeat what the news media or journalists are sharing. However, there are of course stories that are not told, or reasons and rationales that are not told. I for one think that Kashmir is being used, as a porn piece. A political ploy. Purposely being attacked so that leaders, especially the leaders of Pakistan and India focus their attention upon the fight. This is especially interesting when we hear about the Saudi Arabia investments, and a historic visit from  Crown Prince Salman to Pakistan, in February. This visit was a significant positive for the future economic development of Pakistan. However, this successful news was blurred with the eruption of violence between India and Pakistan in the disputed Kashmir. 

    We could think that the violence on India's front is a cover-up for jealousy and greed, towards the positive developments that are taking place in Pakistan. Or we can think about the land of Kashmir, a base purposely created for tension? Just as the tensions in the middle-east, between Israel and Palestine, or the U.S.A., and Mexico. Many regions in the world reveal patterns, where we can prove that these specific regions are bases to purposely create and cause tension. But really there is no need. If there is a desire for world progress, and to move forward, we have to think of other ways. Or does there have to be other ways to install tension in the first place?  

     If only leaders would realize that what is meant for you, will always be yours. No one can take away what is yours. If someone or a nation is meant to have more than you, then that is OK. If someone is meant to have less than you, but still possess the ability to survive then that is OK. Of course there is a desire for continued development and prosperity, but what is it worth? What is greed worth? What is jealousy worth? Greed and jealousy are not worth the life of innocent Kashmiri's who are being killed. The poor and the innocent don't deserve to die, at the hands of the greed and jealousy of political leaders. 

     Instead of fighting - maybe it's time for India and Pakistan to both let go, and allow Kashmir to become independent and free? Give them their freedom, and support them as they are allowed to become free. Modi's re-election, or Imran Khan's presidency should not be a reason for Kashmiri's to die. It really is a time to work towards a treaty to allow Kashmir to become a free, prosperous land.

Or will it end up being a nuclear war between India and Pakistan to fight for Kashmir?
