Agree with the article except the name - Intifada. I dont think we need this to be considered as a potential terrorist activity. These are poor people trying to get some attention regarding their plight. If only the BJP takes advantage of this development....
Contrary to ELM-speak - I think the longer this drags on the better. This is having two salutary effects 1- The highway blockade is letting the Mohammedans in the valley know that others - most notably - Hindus can apply pain to Muslim's precious bottoms. The Hindus are learning this too 2- When the state capitulates to a settlement (as it inevitably will) The Hindus will re-learn - as in the Ayodhya "debate" that they will bend the state only by consolidating as Hindus - by dealing with the state as Hindus 3- This will create positive polarization in favor of the NDA (BJP) ahead of the next polls
So I hope that the center is put in a position where it comes up with one solution after another and the Kashmiri separatists reject them all. Then the Congress is really screwed
