An online poll entitled 'Chinas's diplomatic practice of issuing visas to
Kashmiris on separate paper and not on the Indian passport is politically
very significant, and clearly shows that the Peoples Republic of China
continues to support the just cause of Kashmir' Was recently conducted by
Mahazi-Islami, through its website www.mahazi-Islami.com. The poll remained
live from 4th October, 2009 till 3rd November, 2009, and the detailed

There is no doubt that China's diplomatic practice of issuing visas to
Kashmiris on separate paper and not on the Indian passport is politically
very significant, and clearly shows that the Peoples Republic of China
continues to support the just cause of Kashmir. Mahazi-Islami fully agrees
with the proposition and is delighted at the fact that the poll has received
a huge response, and most of those who participated agreed with the motion.
Let us briefly summarize how we should, and should not, look at such matters
as the one put on vote here. Chinese action is basically to be viewed in the
broader gamut of international relations, and not as a love affair or
romantic affair with Kashmiris, Muslims or the state of Pakistan. We do not
have to use excavating tools to dig deep and fully ascertain if there is
truthfulness and sincerity behind this action of the Chinese state. We have
to understand, appreciate, and exploit (to our collective advantage) the
political usefulness, and the strategic potential of such actions, without
raising irrelevant questions of intentions and motives, which though
absolutely important in their own right, are simply extraneous to the whole
affair here. We have to take it as something given, and proceed ahead from
this premise that every state worth its salt in the world has a vision of
future, a proper roadmap to make that vision a reality, a set of policies
conforming to that roadmap and concrete objectives pursued through all the
legitimate instruments available to the state, in particular foreign policy
and interaction with fellow states. As such, an element of self-interest is
always there, so could be in the Chinese action also, but that does not
deprive this action of its political/strategic value for the cause of
Kashmir. One thing that every man and woman genuinely concerned about the
liberation of Kashmir from India must understand is that India will end its
illegal occupation of Kashmir only and only when the costs of holding on to
it outweigh its benefits, that is, when Indian state finds it unmanageably
difficult to govern Kashmir. Any and everything, big or small, which
contributes to that really happening is a step ahead towards the liberation
of Kashmir. Chinese action is precisely that: big or small, it creates a
real difficulty for India, and, therefore, deserves our gratitude, and last
but not least, China is not Bhutan, its actions do count in the global
affairs.
