Are you now suggesting that Bangladeshi don't fall under South Asian Muslims? I stand by the statement - more South Asian Muslims live outside Pakistan than in it. Is this factually incorrect?

Troops were on the borders. Not in the cities and towns. So what's wrong if non ethnic Kashmiris buy land there?

Birds of a feather flock together.

Didn't India capture Baramulla, Uri, Kargil, Jhanger, Rajauri, Turtuk, Teetwal, Gurez - all once part of PoK but now part of India?

I know. It's not anything v anything thread. It's just a discussion forum.

You haven't ever shied away from using them anyway.

Now Guardian isn't a reliable source?

So they don't speak Kashmiri? I didn't know. I do realize that they have a very small part of Kashmir but didn't know about the language.

Yes but power without accountability has resulted in many human rights violations. We can't deny that, nor should we.

This simply isn't true. There have been multiple cases of human rights violations. Anywhere in the world if you put an Army in charge of a hostile civilian population, there will be violations. Now with social media and proliferation of cameras, this has come down. But speak to local Kashmiris...
