4-step for Kashmir Peace

What they call 4-step now, is what our plan for self-rule was about. 
These were all part of our plan, endorsed by all the parties. Also you need an emotional process.

We can do it without challenging the sovereignty of either country, without losing anything, or conceding even an inch of our territory. Kashmir has been a bone of contention for India and Pakistan, now we would like to be a bridge, and a gateway to the rest of Asia.


  1. To begin with, you have to empower institutions and reduce security.
  2. Politicians have to stepped in. 
  3. Restore the links of Jammu and Kashmir to rest of the world.
    1. Give people de facto not de jure “freedom. 
    2. restore the old silk road
    3. connect Jammu to Sialkot
    4. do the Mansarovar-Kailash yatra through Ladakh, Kargil to Skardu, Leh to Xinjiang?
  4. Have a “joint mechanism”- 
    1. Let Kashmir people from this side and that side meet, have advisory councils, on trade, tourism, environment, disaster management like issues that meet twice a year.  
Kshmir Minister for Public Health Engineering Sham Lal Sharma  asked “whether they have ever thought as to how many employees had been working in the civil secretariat and how many of them were Hindus. “Of the 7,000 employees working there, hardly 200 were Hindus,”
