: In his timely article (‘Can the valley afford ‘azadi’?’, Aug 20), Rajesh Chakrabarti has raised some pertinent issues in the context of the demand for freedom in Kashmir. The Kashmiri people should learn a lesson from the recent history of Afghanistan, which is still being ruined by the jihadis. Kashmir would be no exception should it follow suit.

It’s time for all Kashmiris to summon the courage to remain with India as any other state, for obvious reasons.
