Right around the time when India confronts leadership vacuum in political arena, Omar Abdullah is a breath of fresh air. An accomplished young politician with strong sense of historical context (very important characteristic to lead an ancient civilization) , decisive mindset and armed with effective communication skill. Had he been the CM of any other state than Kashmiri, he would have made a strong case for Prime Ministership of India.
My single line summary of the Kashmir situation is that it is an integral part of India but India needs to do more to assimilate a moderate Kashmiri and nurture his or her aspirations to better living standards.
To catch a glimpse of what I suggest, watch this swashbuckling 20 mins of hard talk.
