Part#1 Pakistan Occupied Kashmir, (Territory Yellow)
You inherit some property from an uncle (say Mr. Singh), whom people thought you are not close too, but you felt a sense of attachment with him.
The relative left you a house, while some one (let’s call him Ali) else expected to inherit the same property. Ali thought since he and Mr. Singh lived nearby and often visited the house, he has a better claim to the house. So when the will was read, Ali quickly went to the property and started living in one of the rooms.
What do you do?
- Leave the rest of the house for Ali? Well that is just plain foolish. # Accede Kashmir
- Leave the claim to everything? and let it be vandalized? # Free Kashmir
- Claim for the complete property? # Current situation
- Leave status quo and allow both parties to use the resources. # you get to use the extra bathroom, Ali get acces to your kitchen!
Part#2 Askai Chin, (Territory marked Grey)
It turns out you get another inheritance (not sure if this means you are second time lucky or unlucky). A piece of land next to the house from part#1.
This time you get a property which was disputed, the original owner was forced to vacate the same property (Tibet) and there were 2 claims, Mr. Chang and you. Basically it was a fallow land not really good for agriculture or anything else. So time passed by and no one really cared, until the day one of you blinked. It became a prestige issue, and in your rush you tried to use force to justify claim. To your surprise the Chang hit back and you were overwhelmed (all you saw him was doing Tai-Chi, but he hit you back with KungFu). You were alone and young, helpless and defeated. But you have your ego and said you decided not to give up. You logged a claim in the court, the process is slow and practically in a gridlock. Both the parties now claim it and none will do anything about it. Now you have learnt Karate and both you and Mr. Chang know it is useless to fight over what is better, KungFu or Karate.
What do you do?
- Leave the claim? Open invitation to others to something similar? # Accede Askai Chin
- Ali et friends, Mr. Chang finds one of you other property attractive too (#Twang)
- Claim for the complete property? You know you may never get it. # Current situation
- Leave status quo and allow both parties to use the resources. # both parties get to use it for picnic, #tourism #trade #Learn to co-exist
Part#3 Territory acceded to China by Pakistan (Territory marked Brown)
Since both the parties Ali and Chang are not at good terms with you, they decide to get together (enemy's, enemy is friend)
Now Ali wanted to buy a new car, and borrowed money from Chang. Ali tried but could no repay Chang. Chang is a friend, but a true business man,
He knew that you have some friends living nearby (read Central Asia), and to cut your access to them asked Ali to give away a part of the disputed house.
What do you do?
- Leave the claim? #Foolish again!
- Claim for the complete property? It is not Ali's to give away. # Current situation
