The urge for peace is built into India's psyche and its civilization. There is no scope for peace in Pakistan's ideology of "jihad".
The people who seek independence or separation from India need to be tried for treason and sent to prison for their crimes against the state. In the midst of all this din and stone throwing, it is forgotten that a minority of "Sunni" Muslims in the valley leads the protestors. They do NOT represent the vast majority of the people of the state of Jammu and Kashmir who are peace loving and want to carry on with their lives.
It is time to restore peace and development in the state of Jammu and Kashmir. The people of the state must know and be convinced that they are and will continue to be an integral part of India.
The only thing that is negotiable with Pakistan on Kashmir is the return of the territories of the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir still occupied by it.
The Government needs to stop being a mute spectator in Srinagar. It is not fair on the security forces to be exposed to the attacks of the stone throwers at will. The policy of pampering or molly coddling the stone throwers and separatists must end now.
