J&K should fully accede to the India

//I'll begin with the China thing. If China does feel it should claim Kashmir, it is most impractical logic. Roughly 1% of the population consists of Tibetan Buddhists, the other 99% are Hindus and Muslims. China has only a practical claim if the population of Tibetan Buddhists was a considerably large portion of Kashmir.// >>You seem to think China cares about its reasons. Well, it doesn't. When China marched into Tibet, they had little reason. Same with Taiwan. It does not matter if the majority is Tibetan, Muslim, or anything else -- all these countries want is the land and income sourced for Kashmir. //The difference between Kashmir and the US is that the ethnic groups of the US do not quarrel for power. Ethnic nationalism is very high in that area.// >> At one time, there were many ethnic problems in the United States. For instance, slavery and segregation. We worked past those and now we have equality -- as much as a 300mil population can get, that is. //Hindu nationalists want full integration with India. Muslim nationalists would only fear persecution, but as I had said previously, Sheikh Abdullah says otherwise.// >>Abdullah is one man. Abdullah, being the main man in control of Kashmir, could be easily corrupted. Muslim nationalists wouldn't only fear persecution. You are forgetting the very unstable time we live in. My guess, and, modeling after most of the Middle East, is that there were be an organization dedicated to succeeding from India and become independent. //Kashmir seems to prevent conflict between the Muslims and Hindus of India. Thus, when Kashmir becomes entirely part of India, then Hindus and Muslims in India will most likely NOT dispute.// >> Keyword: Most likely. As I said before, there will probably be opposition is the Muslim community -- or any, for that matter -- on joining India. //India never marched into Kashmir without adequate reason: Pakistan invades and the Kashmir Government asks India to defend their lands. Note here that PAKISTAN not India was the one that marched right on in.// >> Fair enough. Keep in mind, though, that I think Kashmir should be its own country. I think all of the countries should just back off. Onward to my opponent's argument. //That sounds good, but I find it flawed. If Kashmir became a part of Pakistan, millions of Kashmiris would die; so, Kashmir will not choose to accede to Pakistan. China's claim is impractical, and most countries would agree. If China was to assert it's claim when Kashmir chose to accede to India or Pakistan, then the UN would be called upon. The UN would then proceed to point out how 1% of the population does not give enough reason for China to make a valid claim and call the land its own. But if Kashmir chose to accede to India; then Pakistan would not bother as it would mean almost certain defeat, and China, as I mentioned before could not make a strong move. I believe that was also a fairly good way to conclude my own argument, so I will leave it at that. The source of all my information is: India, Pakistan, and Kashmir: Antinomies of Nationalism by Ashutosh Varshney. Lastly, vote for me (pro/aff).// >> You have never addressed the possibility for Kashmir to separate! It sounds like the best solution, and no country would get mad at one another. I do not want any of the three to get Kashmir, rather make it independent. IN conclusion, I believe Kashmir should become fully independent to avoid the most conflict. My opponent hasn't refuted this idea, so I strongly advise you to vote Con. Thank you all!
