Is she a journalists or representing government of India?

Is she a journalists or representing government of India? It appear that she is more an advocator of suppression and brutality and less likely a professional journalist. Had British treated with same yard stick to both Indians and Pakistani when they were demanding their own freedom? British never had denied peoples' right to freedom. Their excuse was that the people are not yet mature enough to understand and operate in a free society. Both India and Pakistan had proved this point after 1947. Right to self-determination in a democratic society never reach even to a level of protest on streets let alone an armed opposition. The voting pattern of Parties spearheading the demand for right to self-determination is always an indicator. If they got more seats than authority use different tools allowing people to express their decision. First pass the post referendum is one of the tool. In US every state do have right to succeed from federation through a majority vote. Same is the case with every other democratic society. Fifteen (15) states of Ex Soviet Union went their own way without firing a single short. Czechs and Slovak went their own way without firing a single short. Canada had arranged first pass the post referendum in Québec and UK did the same in Scotland.


What kind of mind-set reflect among ruling elite and their cronies in sub-continent. I had never come across my fallow English man or woman who can say even "we will not give freedom to Scotland". One would surprise to know this type of question because the decision to stay with union or go for an independent Scotland rest with the people of Scotland. The question for freedom is rest with the people of the state of Jammu Kashmir not with Indian or Pakistani. This is an abuse and insult to the people by giving an unwated advice, what to do or what not to do. People are not minor and she as a journalist must understand this otherwise she need to go back to class-room. It is more appropriate for her to give her unwanted advice to  the oppressors in Delhi, that civilized societies don't oppress people and don't deny their basic and birth rights such as the right to freedom.
