How many Kashmiris , Indians and Pakistani lost their lives. Had India followed rule of partition = Muslim majiority areas= Pakistan then we all would have been richer and south asia would have been asian tigers. EVEN NOW modi should get rid of Jammu & kashmir and in return ask Pakistan for economic corridor to Afghanistan, Tajikistan, Krghizstan, Turkmanistan,Kazhikistan, Uzbikistan, Russia..just like china has done and is gearing up for multiplying its world trade. MAY SENSE PREVAIL with indian govt
Sorry for the irreplaceable loss.. May almighty give his close ones the fortitude to bear his loss. Don’t know about him but seems he died as a maytr so 21 gun shots..jai hind brave soldier.
RIP..
