Answers From LaRouche

Q: What are your views on Kashmir?
Question: Dear Mr. LaRouche,
    I just bumped in to some of your workers here selling brochure and some literature. You have to forgive my ignorance about your efforts. I did not know anything about it. Reading one of your brochure made me write you this note.
    It seems you are advocating for Peace and a just financial system in the world. I hope your 'dream' comes true. My friends and I would like to work and find the ways to avoid WW III and have Peace in the PAINS (Pakistan Indian Subcontinent) for the coming generations.
    I have one question:
    You have visited India many times and spent days if not weeks. What do you think of the situation in Kashmir, the basic reason of dispute, and how would you put an end to the Government sponsored terrorism in PAINS.

A: The Kashmir problem was created by the British, as a permanent factor for conflict between Pakistan and India. Louis Mountbatten played the key role on the scene in those times. The issues so created have no solution except through direct dealings between India and Pakistan, without interference from the U.S.A. or other busy-bodies.

However, matters are more complicated than that. I can summarize the present difficulties, as follows.

During the period ofthe LTCM crisis of August-Sept. 1998, I had proposed the establishment of a "strategic triangle" of cooperation among Russia, China, and India, as key to bring most among the nations of Asia together for forms of economic cooperation typified by my own and my wife's proposal for a "Eurasian Landbridge" program. The LCTM crisis led to the sudden appointment of Evgeny Primakov as Russia's Prime Minister. In November 1998, in Delhi, he announced the proposal, by Russia, for a "strategic triangle" of Eurasia cooperation pivotted on China, India, and Russia. By December 1998, Primakov's proposal was met by a violent set of threats from the U.S.A. against India and against Primakov, threats from that military-utopian faction of the U.S. associated with Zbigniew Brzezinski, which demands a general "geopolitical" war and "Clash of Civilizations" throughout Asia and Africa.

As part of this threat to India from that faction in the U.S.A., the conflict in Kashmir has been significantly reactivated by certain Anglo-American interests associated with Brzezinski's policies. If that interference in the subcontinent could be ended, there were would progress toward realizing the possibility of stability in that region.
