Kashmir

An ingenious example of speech and politics occurred recently in the United Nations Assembly that made the world community smile.

A representative from India began: "Before beginning my talk I want to tell you something about Rishi Kashyap of Kashmir, after whom Kashmir is named".

When he struck a rock and it brought forth water, he thought, "What a good opportunity to have a bath."

He removed his clothes, put them aside on the rock and entered the water.

When he got out and wanted to dress, his clothes had vanished. A Pakistani had stolen them.

The Pakistani representative jumped up furiously and shouted, "What are you talking about? The Pakistanis weren't there then."

The Indian representative smiled and said, "And now that we have made that clear, I will begin my speech."

And they say Kashmir belongs to them...

Once I was discussing with one of my Indian friend. He told "In 1947, at the time of partition,land was divided according to the hindu-muslim population ratio. Now pakistan and old east-bengal(current bangladesh) were two large land-portions where muslim population was far more than hindus. So these two portions jointly became pakistan. There were no issues over Jammu & Kashmir. For a while, lets assume there was some problem with J&k. The thing was that, some of the states were left free to whom with they will like to go, and unfortunately (for pakistan) J&K chose to go with India. Thats the whole story, but from that 1947 till this 2010, pakistan is not willing to accept the sole truth, it was entirely J&K's decision.

How can one save ostriches, if instead of watching through open eyes, they wanna believe the hunters left, with eyes closed. May GOD help them.
