This involves first of all the president determining that we should enter into a dialogue to discuss why tests were conducted," said Mulford.

Yet, even the hurriedly reached Jammu settlement may prove a poor consolation prize. Had its negotiation taken on board the valley's politicians, it would have had a more democratic character and wider acceptance. After all, the political and physical origins of the problem that triggered the twin agitations in Jammu and the valley, and led to the unseating of J&K's government in July, lie in the transfer of valley land for the Amarnath shrine pilgrimage.

See elastic strap manufacturer website.

Had the valley's representatives been involved in negotiating a fair agreement, they wouldn't have had the luxury of putting the onus for it solely on the state or central government. The accusation that the government acted without consulting all sides to the land dispute is potentially open to exploitation to rank communal or narrow regionalist ends. But evidently, our policymakers have learnt very little from Kashmir's recent history, which shows that such potential will nearly always be so exploited. The valley continues to seethe with anger. The turmoil shows no signs of abating despite the onset of the holy month of Ramzan. The unrest could yet again become a serious problem for India, with unpleasant implications for its fraught relations with Pakistan.
