I dread answering this question, feeling that I want to escape this, because this isn't something that I am comfortable being asked. I feel conflicted, being raised in the hardcore Congress-era Indian nationalism, and also sympathizes with the Kashmiri people, as a minority ethnic myself, I don't even know what I am to say. From my perspective, I would recognize it to be somewhere between occupation and second-class citizenship treatment in the sense that some people want complete independence, while to some, they may see a benefit to the union of states of India. About the charges on terrorism and extremism, that's complete bullshit, at least from my view - I see them as people who have been hurt for almost eight decades.
A someone who is in full support of the views of the anti-partition communist faction who were opposed to the Hindu Mahasabha and the All-India Muslim League's idea of dividing India and Pakistan, I see re-unification and strong decentralization of power to states of India, and invalidation of two-nation theory by the Imperial British as the possible way for resolution. The re-unification of states under communists and fellow leftists would ensure that the political dynasts with their vested interests will be disposed of, and that people get the right to self-determination, at least on a national level. I'm also not well-read on leftist ideologies, so I'll not answer more, as the policies I've suggested are probably crass.
