Changed mindset

 It is a sign of great change in the mindset of the pro-freedom parties when they call for introspection in their ranks to find out why agitations in Kashmir take a U-turn all of a sudden. Every political ideology has its positive and negative aspects and no modern political ideology is complete. There are always divergent thoughts and then difference in methodology as well. We have to understand that the struggle of Kashmiris is purely political and we cannot label people as "infidels" if they don't subscribe to a particular ideology. Mature politics demands that we must listen to our opponents and sit with them, even if there is a vast difference in opinion. Mature politics demands that we must be open to constructive criticism and hold dialogue with anyone. A human makes mistakes and even blunders but lessons should be learnt from the mistakes.
