Interesting how the Pak Army chief talks in term of body analogy. Indian thinkers of yesteryears have used the analogy of civil structure while referring to Kashmir as keystone of secular India.
In a similar vein, in Kashmir election context, few BJP leaders have spoken about secularism being in their blood, whatever it means!
Deploying passion of extreme kind leads to reiteration of a stand, not resolution of matters. What Pakistan Army Chief has done by is justify continuation of militia onslaught into India. It will need a thoughtful policy to make him see reason.

The only language they seem to understand is the language of arms in the use of which we do not consider ourself as weak.How long are we to keep 'negotiating'?

While rousing emotions, he is probably also referring to contiguity with China. This angle, if valid, shows not only abject dependence on China, also perception of India as an existential threat. It is the latter which reiterates continuation of any-means policy of their security establishment.
A premise that India is no threat to Pakistan is generally accepted by civilians in Pakistan, and measures to gain trust of security establishment is necessary as one of the matters which got to be a component in Indian negotiation strategy.
partition, Kashmir accession to India is final as maharaja hari singh choose to India.also in simila pact it was decided any problem on Kashmir, it will decided with mutual discussion by both India and Pakistan.even India allowed pok to Pakistan as generous gesture to it. then why people of pakistan dont understand this and try to distort history and create dispute.this mentality is enmity, madness and creating loss of reputation and life of Pakistan people.this mentality is defiant and creates hostility to India.

A war mongering country will come to grief only through war as the war in 1971 demonstrated with Pakistan getting bifurcated. Every occasion when we were in a position that would have provided permanent solution with our armed forces on the ascendancy, our civil leaders stalled the army to speak peace to the Pakis.Such interrugnum were used by the enemy only to regroup, rearm and get ready for the next show.Their insatiable thirst foe blood can not be quenched except through blood.It has to be their own
All these years, what your Army could not succeed in is what you rake up at this belated hour. Try your luck by bringing in your entire Army and arsenal and see for yourself what Indian Military System is all about in deal with your nefarious design! If you think pakistan's head is Kashmir and you want to annex it by hook or crook, then the matter is cimple, Pakistan will always remain headless! Even after 1000 years of war. Your talk is all about a wasted dream; and it will always be wasted dream!

What pakistan has done to kashiris except arousing the hatred between the countries, where as india has invested a lot for the development of that region not expecting a high return
