Kashmir solution

Came up with a solution for the Kashmir porblem. There was this huge article in the times about it. Make Kashmir an independant state, governed by a body with representatives from both India, Pakitsn, and Kashmir. All the profit from the tourism should go to Kashmir itself, but taxes and such should be shared between India and Pakistan. The day-to-day governance and the minor administrative and policy decisions to be taken by this body, of elected representatives, and the major decisions should be taken only after agreement of both governments. the most important part is for the Indo-Pak border to become somewhat open, like the canadien-american border, and trade should be started. This will be mutually benifitted, militants should be eradicated, by contribution for Kashmir's security budget from both countries.
This is a very bold step, but will ensure peace.
a combined military mebbe?
ther is no way for the issue to be settled in the short- term, and even in the long-term future...
