An American Perspective I

Abstract

A s one who has come into Kashmir episodically, I am going to talk to you a little about my own perspective, which is both an American and a foreign correspondent's perspective. Since my departure in 1991 from the Far Eastern Economic Review, an association that provided my earliest exposure to this terribly trying and sad dispute, I have been in Washington, D.C., where I am again following the issue. My last quite steady exposure to this problem, however, was as bureau chief for the Review in New Delhi.
