1.5 actually, and yes, it's a lot. Especially when half the population lives below the international poverty line. But he was found with massive amounts of money and Hitavada was apparently able to trace it.
And foment terrorism for what gain?
To give themselves an excuse to cover the bloodshed that was being inflicted day after day.
Punjab and Kashmir are states of the Union, and have no right, or its people, neither the will, nor the necessity, to secede.
They do have the right. Kashmir was promised a plebiscite on its status, which has never occurred. Punjab was to become independent at the tim of independence, but stuck wiht India on false prom,ises from Nehru and Patel. No Sikh representative has ever signed the Indian constitution to this day. And the essence of democracy is the right to self-determination. The people hve the right to choose independence if they so desire.
If you're so sure they don't have the desire, why not simply do the democratic thing, hold a vote, and prove it? The marches for independence, seminars on independence, and other such peaceful, democratic, nonviolent activities would tend to indicate that there is at least some desire for sovereignty. As for the necessity, do I need to cite the statistics on the mass murders of minorities, the political prisoners, the arrests simply for making speeches, and so forth yet again?
The very fact that they are allowed to do so is enough to say they have been allowed their share of freedom, which is complete. If you are so intent on the country breaking up, pray, what of the American Civil War? Couldn't the Union settle the matter with a mere vote? Based on your lines, I'm sure you'll be jumping in with the thugs who want the south-western parts of the US joined with Mexico. They are a majority in most populated places there, presently. Your idiocy is so juvenile, it's looking cute now!
To give themselves an excuse to cover the bloodshed that was being inflicted day after day.
One phrase: cognitive dissonance.
They do have the right.
No, they don't.
Kashmir was promised a plebiscite on its status, which has never occurred.
Demographics were altered by Pakistan. Besides, the promise was made by the UN. The very same UN which admitted recently that a plebiscite was irrelevent to the Kashmir of today.
Punjab was to become independent at the tim of independence, but stuck with India on false promises from Nehru and Patel.
Oh, so since Texas and other states in the Union were won through force from Mexico, you'd want them gone back to Mexico, I'd reckon. Khalistan is dead. Deal with it.
