Astigmatism of Indian leaders in the 50-90s

It is often said that India,Japan as well as China were at the same level when India got its independence. India had got its indepence from 200 years of British rule, Japan had been war devasted and the position of China was also no good. But now the story is completely different.. China has risen as a phoenix from its ashes to become a great economic giant which is seriously giving the United States a run for its money. Japan's economy moved up by leaps and bounds to become the second largest economy of the world and the Indian economy until recently was nowhere in picture.

So what reasons can be attributed to this vast difference :-
Firstly, Indian people failed to realize the benefits of their independence. The Indian mindset which is much different from the mindset of Chinese and Japanese people. Only a handful of Indian did have the urge to become the best, and they America as the place where they could satiate their dreams. This is where the Indian politicians could have led from the front, but they were busy reaping profits by victimising the state machinery.
Secondly, a feeling of nationality lacks in the Indian minds. Japanese people have the greatest urge to make their country the best in all fields. This urge to excel makes the Japanese the most hardworking people of the world.
Did the Indian political aspersions about polarization in the world which led to the formation of the NAM keep India away from the help of Global Superpowers ? India took loans from America and yet did not support its policy. This definitely resulted in American anguish which led to strangled relations for about three decades.
Was India too much of involved with its small neighbours without looking at the global scenario ? The policy makers failed to realize the importance of good international relations, the investments from other countries. Many companies like the IBM, Coca Cola closed their Indian ancillaries when India declared itself as socialist nation and shun capitalist nations and businesses.

So where did China differ from India as it also a Communist nation. Firstly, apart from the Korea War and Indian War, China had always kept away from terrorism and attacks. Secondly, Chinese people had a fear factor in their minds. The Chinese goverment had a very high influency on the freedom of speech of the people. India was its casual best on this issue. This restriction helped the fear factor in Chinese people thrust upon them to work hard.

Shouldn't u a-GRE-e : A plebiscite for Kashmir : The Indian Perpective

The eden of pre-independence India has turned into a war ravaged state. The cause of fight between two nations has changed the heaven into a battlefield for two nations which are turning towards nuclear weapons for their security. An apocalypse is sure to be seen if the issue of kashmir is not resolved soon enough.
The current discussions (so called high level ones) ongoing between India and its adversary Pakistan( being overlooked indirectly by the Big Brother of all nations) do ponder over the issues related to the sharing of the state of Kashmir. Why does any one not talk about the wishes of Kashmiri people themselves.
The Indian stance on the issue: Pakistan should first stop the militant infiltration and then the peace talk should begin. Secondly the king of erstwhile Kashmir state, Maharaja Hari Singh had himself decided to join India. These two stands are vague and illogical because:
Firstly, according to reports most of the militants are Kashmiri people trained in Pakistani militancy camps. These people take up arms and so they are called terrorists. So, fighting for the independence of one's own country is called "Terrorism" or Miltancy. So by the same logic, Sardar Bhagat Singh and Subash Chandra Bose were terrorists too !!
Secondly,The Indian logic that goes on with the occupation of Kashmir is that Maharaj Hari Singh signed the accord for merging of kasmir with the indian Federal republic( this was done in haste as the combined forces of Pakistan and China had attacked upon Kashmir in 1948 and maharaja hari Singh had no other options!!)

The main reason why Kashmir has become a hotspot is its importance as a strategic military hold which is being avoided in all the peace talks.

So why should India agree for a plebiscite in Kashmir.
Firstly, both India and pakistan have now become nuclear powers and the subcontinent, being in the state of constant tension, may become a nuclear flashpoint.
Secondly, why should Indian Government waste much of its financial and time concentrating on the protection of kashmir. The cause of militancy in Kasmir as well as rest of India is the militancy due the Kashmir dispute. Better concetrate upon welfare issues as well as economic issues( both financially and temporally)
Thirdly, why should India bear the brunt of Al Qaeda and similiar organizations only because of its domination of Kashmir.
Fourthly, every state like kashmir should have right of self- determination rather than miltary domination.

Summing up, a plebscite in Kashmir should bring a lot of peace in the war ravaged subcontinent.
