Politics of possession has neither love nor freedom, only greed, and desire to dominate.sunaina sharmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07848852013009581839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102451431033041663.post-16135197919731978072016-08-19T20:17:33.760+05:302016-08-19T20:17:33.760+05:30The notion of freedom assumes some worthwhile sign...The notion of freedom assumes some worthwhile significance only in some socio-political context. That's why I brought in the Kashmir example. In individual affairs, the issue is rather insignificant.<br /><br />In the case of Kashmir, the people have been alienated from the majoritarian nationalism and the solution lies first of all in ridding ourselves of that attitude and the ideology which drives it. But that's only part of the story. Pakistan has played a terribly nasty game in that region which has muddled the game way too far for any solution that is acceptable to both sides. So we will go on asserting that Kashmir is ours and even POK is ours. And they will go on fighting for the same pieces of land. So the fight is the only option. Might is right. Will it lead to nuclear might and its rightness? What will be the fate of the people on both sides of the border then?Tomichan Matheikalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05037872309096060126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102451431033041663.post-46285602078060116442016-08-19T20:10:17.269+05:302016-08-19T20:10:17.269+05:30Yes, Amit ji.

In fact, many of these are creations of the govt itself for political purposes. Khalistan was Indira Gandhi's political agenda. Bodoland is based on genuine grievances that need be addressed. Tamil liberation was Sri Lanka's problem, not ours. Kashmir problem has been aggravated by Muslim bashing in India. It has now gone out of control... Time to ask whether we can find amicable solutions and stop hatred-based policies.

If they have more love for their homeland than their need of freedom, then a solution to come across is a possibility. And I am betting that they do have more love towards their homeland. It would be scary to think otherwise.Pranju chakrapanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12605609220545623439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2102451431033041663.post-31920868657106633792016-08-19T11:53:37.531+05:302016-08-19T11:53:37.531+05:30'freedom to the people of the land to choose t...'freedom to the people of the land to choose their own destiny..'?<br />I beg to differ, Tom sir. That means the Indian government (irrespective of which political party runs it) should allow Khalistan, Bodoland, Tamil Liberation and the likes too to choose their own destiny?
