Now about Kashmir.

I think India already gave enough land for muslims(Pakistan later Bangladesh), so I dont support another seperation.

But I think the situation of the Kashmir people is bad because of the violence caused by the seperatists.

I hope a solution is beeing made which fits the kashmir people and India.
