OPINION: Organise and normalise

Pakistan will raise Kashmir sky-high at every opportunity, but India has to organise its defences. Pakistan could move a resolution on Kashmir at the UNHCR next week, but this is the time for India to rally around friendly countries at the UN to counter Pakistan. Pakistan has been raising Kashmir in the UN general assembly ever year...but there was not much substance in it. Having said that, the sooner the situation normalises in Kashmir, the better it would be for India. A normal Kashmir would give Pakistan very little to make a noise about.
