There are about 35,000 Nepali Gurkhas currently serving in the Indian army, including in the geopolitically sensitive region of Indian-administered Kashmir and the northeastern parts of the country. The Gurkhas have a strong bond with the Indian military, and Gurkha regiments have become part of the culture of the Nepali hill communities. There are about 120,000 Indian Gurkha veterans living in Nepal. Their pension and other benefits have contributed to the economy of the impoverished hill regions.

ok do i understand why a lot of toddler and kid shows give characters parents and family in the military/police; "real kids in real life are in military/police families so we're just trying to be realistic", whatever

but said show runners never seem to think about the implications beyond that, or think about how kids outside of those contexts, who don't have those warm fuzzy (or even neutral) feelings, would see it

Whenever I discuss Kashmir or Israel, I end up making every side mad.

I tried writing an article on it and pitched it to left and right-leaning publications. Both said that it didn't "match the coverage we're looking for", or words to that effect. Maybe I'm just a bad writer.

But I think the reason that my opinions on Kashmir/Israel are so annoying to so many people is because I don't follow the usual BS narratives.

The article I wanted to write was a plea for honesty of purpose. That's because no one and I mean NO ONE is willing to just admit the reason they support a side in those conflicts is because geopolitics/nationalism/religion or — most likely — the person who first introduced them to the issue had this bias and so they have it too.

Just be honest and internally consistent with your stance, that's all I ask.

Say what you want about the utter immorality of Athens in the Seige of Melos, at least Thucydides was honest when he said of their motivation, "The strong do what they can, the weak endure what they must."

It's an ideology I disagree with, but fuck it, at least it's honest.

Kashmir and Israel are both situations where two immoral actors are fighting over the moral (and in Kashmir's case, literal) high ground.

It's all just bullshit reasons versus different bullshit as both bullshit peddlers use their bullshit reasons trying to make themselves look like the good guys™️ and make the other side look evil when the truth is that both sides are doing this for power and nothing else.

Lack of political will and strategy

By H.L. Shishoo Kashmir has emotional significance for every Indian, almost generating infectious enthusiasm, even if it reminds him of India’s political, diplomatic and military incapacity. When the State acceded with Indian Union, the nation was recovering from the wounds of partition and for the great majority of people at that time Kashmir had literally no significance. During the last six…
