Disagree with everything about India. It looks like you guys live in some type of a la la land. While we live in dystopia. This patronising attitude will be the downfall. Mark my words.

Israel drew first blood. In 1948.

Mischaracterizing India again. This seems to be the trend here. Close to no lib in India agree with Supreme Court being a pawn. SC has been a pawn in america for centuries though. Remember the civil war, wasn't america a federation?? Why couldn't the south part from the rest. The same logic applies to kashmir. Why do you think a specific state deserve special status. That is inherently discriminatory against the majority. They could buy and sell property in their state as well as the rest of India. While we couldn't. This is nothing but privilege which you guys deny to see.
