I fully support you. What you have suggested is something that should have been done decades earlier

Why split J&K into three parts on religious grounds?

Add Punjab to it. It was Ranjit Singh's. wasn't it?

Tronic, comments.

Whole of media is biased. Think about it this way, if in any other state of INDIA, say for that matter in Gujarat, if modi had initially given a piece of land to a muslim society or a mosque and taken it back. the amount of printing ink and air time that would have been devoted to it would have been record breaking and every tv channel(all so called secular channels) would have been bashing modi left and right 24X7.
none of these secular print media said anything when J&K assembly voted for sharia law to be implemented in J&K, now this Amarnath situation. i dont see mombatti valas standing in line lighting candles in hand in front of J&K house in delhi.
The worst thing is that when pope died they had a national mourning for 3 days(what more can u expect when italian *&^% is controlling the things) and the INDIAN flag is flown at half mast(inspite of the fact that he came to INDIA and talked about converting the whole of INDIA), and none when the greatest hero produced after independence passes away(even tough technically speaking he was still an officer).
Shame on the people who elect congress to power
i support every word there

what would be most prudent for india to do would be to first stabilize the poulation balance in the state give the pundits homes in walled heavily protected compounds like the israeli kibbutz these compound should provide opportunities for employment and education as well as healthcare , next go heavy handed on the militants i'm thinking mi-35 used against militant camps
next increase opportunities in all districts of jammu and ladakh for growth let the locals see the growth you get when you are on india's good side that will reduce local support for militants , the indian government should also increase support for pro-india muslim leaders from other parts of india and increase the following these men have in j&k, at the same time keeping rouge elements in the security forces under check at the same time the border securitymust be beefed up and media both private and govt must be denied to militant leaders and pro-pak leaders

i was talking about the population balance on religious grounds ! due to the massive outflow of pundits the vale of Kashmir that once had nearly 700,000 pundits living there is left with only 10,000 or so , this trend must be reversed keeping in mind the safety of these people hence my earlier comment about kibbutzes.

Yep re-merge Kashmir, Himachal and Haryana with Punjab once again; we're running out of things to fight over.
