Professor Noam Chomsky, the legendary American philosopher and intellectual, has said that the Indian Army should leave Kashmir on face of ‘horrible atrocities’ committed in the region. Kashmir has had an awful story—especially since late 80’s after that fake election, Prof Chomsky said. “There have been horrible atrocities. Therefore, the Indian Army should leave Kashmir.” Prof Chomsky who is also a celebrated linguist expressed his views while taking to a Kashmiri author, Mehboob Makhdoomi, in an exclusive interaction in his office at the Massachusetts’s Institute of Technology (MIT), America. “Indo-Pak conflict is ridiculous for both,” he said. “Both nations should agree to a federal structure which gives more or less Independence for Kashmir.”
Whole expressing his views on Kashmir in India once, Chomsky said he had to take police protection on face of BJP demonstrations. “Some breakdown in the (Indo-Pak) hostility is the pre-requisite for settlement of Kashmir,” he told Kashmiri author. “Kashmir could be a marvelous place.”
