Given the current circumstances, the solution to the Kashmir issue has to be a joint one. No single party can hope to 'resolve' this problem unilaterally. Here's how the problem can be solved:
- Combine POK and Indian administered Kashmir in to one entity
- Give it some sort of legal status that makes it neither independant, nor a part of India nor a part of Pakistan.
- Conduct elections to form a broad-based government
- Have a third-party monitor, like the UN, oversee the process. Keep America out.
- Have assurances from both sides that they will not resort to violence on civilians/armed forces/police
- Have a mixed force of Indian and Pakistani soldiers ensure security
- Set up a mechanism where violators will face stern action
These are some tough steps that need a lot of trust and understanding for success to be possible. But the results will show. Economic development, increased tourism, de-escalation of violence and the threat of war, a lesser resource strain for India and Pakistan, political participation for the Kashmiri people, build-up of trust between the two nations, to name a few
But without some sort of mutual redressal system, Kashmir will just be a resource drain for India and Pakistan.
And more dangerously, a certain cause for a future war that will not be like any war we've fought before.

Read and then think about this when wasting your next meal.
This isn't some country in Africa my friends...
This is a very real issue we face today..
People living in cities feel they are safe
or isolated from these problems..
But remember that all things come full circle...
If these people aren't taken care of
they will come to your city and become criminals
Thieves, murderers, rapists, dacoits...
BBC NEWS | South Asia | Ignoring India's 'republic of hunger'
However, the first India State Hunger Index (Ishi) this year found that Madhya Pradesh had the most severe level of hunger in India, comparable to Chad and Ethiopia.Even federal health surveys show that 60% of children under the age of six in the state are malnourished - more than 12% of these severely so.The Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party, which rules the state, does not mention the issue in its manifesto.The opposition Congress party takes note of it and promises to make Madhya Pradesh a "malnourishment-free" state if voted into power.
The truth is, none of these governments care..
if the Congress cared, why hasn't India been hunger-free when they ruled...
It is time for concerned citizens to take this issue up...
To support organizations that work for these causes...
Please do not subject humans
to the harsh laws of Darwinism..
Compassion is a trait.. even animals possess...
Please show compassion.. find a way to help
Sponsor a poor child.. feed a hungry family..
Find organizations supporting these people..
And work with them..
It really isn't impossible to feed people..
