I've been to India (Mumbai only), Nepal and Bhutan and I
just realized why India won't just grant independence to those provinces and
regions on the N-East? These areas are isolated from India mainland and much
closer to Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, China and Myanmar than to the capital New
Delhi.
Also Kashmir, I think India and Pakistan should just
leave this area to become an independent nation. Both governments cannot even
develop their respective countries, why spend huge money on military and bureaucracies
to claim ownership and control of this area?
Two friends do not support giving independence to Kashmir
based on two scenarios.
1. A new Kashmir state would be equivalent to another
Afghanistan in South Asia, another place for international and regional powers
to misuse weaker countries. A political settlement between the two countries is
a long lasting solution.
2. A new Kashmir state will be gobbled up by China.
On #1, it can be another Afghanistan, or another Latvia or
Georgia or Ukraine or Kazakhstan of former USSR, or another Singapore. SG won't
be as prosperous as it is now if it's just one of many states of Malaysia, like Penang or Sabah.
On #2, CN annexing/gobbling Kashmir is more of
speculation. If CN does that, automatically it will have 3 enemies -- India,
Pakistan and new Kashmir nation. The first two gave Kashmir independence only
to be colonized by CN? No way. CN does not want too many enemies, it has lots
already in SCS/WPS.
I advocate disintegration of big countries to many,
smaller countries. Thus, I think Russia, Canada, USA, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia,
Nigeria, Philippines, Pakistan, etc should disintegrate.
