While I was on holiday in India, a man who had been living in the region of Jammu-Kashmir-Ladakh for over 30 years spoke to me of his impressions of this region, its problems and possible solutions for them. Included in this interview are his explanation of terrorism in this region and the need to understand it for lasting peace. Most terrorism is confined to Kashmir as a response to poverty and lack of education, rather than for religious reasons. This video interview is essential viewing for anyone with responsibility for Kashmir and/or an interest in understanding terrorism better. Comments can easily be verified by others with experience of this region and specific and practical ways to improve the Jammu-Kashmir-Ladakh region are suggested. In addition, this video includes ways to spread the benefits of peace, social and economic growth to neighbouring countries, such as Pakistan, without the need to change borders or restrict the freedom of Pakistanis or those living in other countries. Although this is the full video of about 57 minutes, a shorter summary video of only about 8 minutes is available. This may be preferable for people to see first, who are not responsible for Kashmir but only interested in the region of Jammu-Kashmir-Ladakh, or the nature of terrorism and ways to address it.
