...Allegedly received training from Kashmiri separatist group Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT) from February 2002 to December 2003. The group, which aims to drive Indian forces out of the disputed territory of Kashmir, is considered a foreign terrorist operation by the U.S. government...

Homegrown Headache Re "India's War At Home" [Oct. 26]: While it is true that New Delhi's military methods are alienating Kashmiri youth, we also need to appreciate that India has little choice in the matter. If the government follows a pacifist policy, the separatists and jihadis will indulge in bullying tactics and recruit more youth to extremism. When more repressive methods are adopted, they inflame passions and antagonize the local populace. In either situation, various steps taken by the Indian government favoring Kashmiris are forgotten. For example, non-Kashmiri Indians are barred from even owning property...

...Peace in Kashmir will remain an illusion as long as there remains an Indian Kashmir and a Pakistani Kashmir. Instead of fighting against the prevailing poverty, illiteracy and other related problems in their respective countries, Pakistan and India have fought three wars over Kashmiri territory.

This was not adhered to by the Pakistanis. Why then should India abide by the plebiscite clause? Unfortunately Kashmiri youth are caught in a vicious circle: they have few opportunities, and are misguided by peers to revolt over anything and everything when they should actually have their heads down in study or work. Of course, harassment by Pakistani-backed militants and, to some degree, by Indian law-enforcement agencies doesn...

...Southeast Asian nations in Bangkok. Manmohan Singh and Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao are expected to meet on the margins of the meeting, although one conversation is unlikely to sort out their complicated history. Both countries are still absorbed in a game played in miniature: recently, for example, a Kashmiri student was given a Chinese visa that was stapled rather than pasted into his passport, an implicit questioning of Kashmir's status as a state of India. Indian authorities, Guruswamy says, then quietly suggested they might do the same for Tibetans. Sure, this is small stuff. But it could get bigger...
