Arundhati Roy is a real voice of reason. She is hated by the conservative community in her own country just like the progressives in Pakistan are hated by their fundamentalists.

It is undeniable that Nehru, despite being a great statesman for his own country, did not honor his promise with regards to the people of Kashmir.

It's interesting to note though that given any plebiscite, Kashmiris will choose independence over being with either India or Pakistan. That would be undesirable for both the countries involved.
