Seems like Abid knows the ground situation and his surroundings well. Strongly suggest you to checkout our intolerant neighbor Pakistan's experiences with militias, which eventually turns into "law-unto-themselves" phenomena. The best defense against foreign terrorists is timely intelligence. If everybody desiring peace, root out violence seeking individuals from amongst themselves, then there will be lasting peace. I hope the authorities are tuned in to Abid's suggestions. I sincerely hope to see people of Kashmir (be they of any ethnicity or religion) enjoy the benefits of modern developments and enrich their lives with mutual prosperity of the nation. To the militant's, "Violence breeds violence", understand this and you would have solved your problems. God has made all humans equal, so if someone tells you otherwise, then consider such person a devil in disguise, be he/she/it from any religion.Avengerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04279256788675055137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-24084942757300912262011-04-19T12:05:08.832-07:002011-04-19T12:05:08.832-07:00Abid,

Village militia who are loyal to the Union of India is a must and is the first line against any foreign terrorist.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-68233063260374286282011-04-18T21:47:49.023-07:002011-04-18T21:47:49.023-07:00Although Indian Army's initiative towards maki...Although Indian Army's initiative towards making bridges with people is a good initiative, reduction in force levels and alertness shall not be done, unless the whole Kashmiri mass is disarmed. The good general shall be encouraged to ask people to shed arms and surrender their weapons. Alongwith this, the state governments shall empower the General to refer the surrendered people for employment in state security forces such as of the Mizoram and Nagaland. This will minimize the chance of returning back to militancy, as the Kashmir state has borders with Pakistan. Moreover, the general shall include Indian media to create a positive attitude towards India. A disarming drive shall be launched by Army just similar to the one done to disarm LTTE by IPKF.Abidnoreply@blogger.com
