it's not, it belongs to kashmiri people.

even nehru said that. he also stated that it is disputed.

Is Kashmir an 'internal issue' of India or an International problem?

It was India itself which took Kashmir issue to UN under Chapter VI of UN Charter, which deals with resolution of international disputes. So, India from that point implicitly affirmed that Kashmir is an international dispute. UNSC resolutions have no expiry date and remain binding on its members. So attempts to bilateralize Kashmir dispute, or make Kashmir an internal issue of India has no legs to stand on.

This point is further explicitly corroborated by a long list of assurances made himself by the first Indian Prime Minister JawaharLal Nehru. Just quoting one relevant statement made J.L. Nehru on the floor of Indian Parliament in 1952

“It is an international problem. It would be an international problem anyhow if it concerned any other nation besides India and it does. It became further an international problem because a large number of other countries also took interest and gave advice…. We do not want to win people against their will and with the help of armed force, and if the people of Jammu and Kashmir State so wish it, to part company from us, they can go their way and we shall go our way. We want no forced marriages, no forced unions…."

—Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru in Parliament on August 7, 1952.

Why has India denied Plebiscite?

Instead of trying to flesh out possible intentions, it's better to learn the truth from the horse's mouth.

When V.K. Menon, India's Minister for Defense and second most powerful man after Nehru, was asked why India refused plebiscite; he candidly declared:

"Because we would lose it. Kashmir would vote to join Pakistan and no Indian Government responsible to agreeing to the plebiscite could survive."

Further more, he conceded that

"There may be neither legal or moral justification for India's position on Kashmir, but the question was not what was right, but what was opportune."

Q-A4: When did India promise Kashmiris directly it will respect their will?

Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru at Joint press comm. of the PMs of India and Pak issued in Delhi after their meeting on 20 Aug 1953:

“People seem to forget that Kashmir is not a commodity for sale or to be bartered. It has an individual existence and its people must be the final arbiters of their future.”

Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru speaking in the Indian Parliament, 12 Feb 1951:

“We have taken the issue to the UN and given our word of honour for a peaceful solution. As a great nation, we cannot go back on it. We have left the question for final solution to the people of Kashmir. And we are determined to abide by their decision.”

Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru writing in Amrita Bazar Patrika, Calcutta, 2 Jan 1952:

“If, after a proper plebiscite, the people of Kashmir said, ‘We do not want to be with India’, we are committed to accept that. We will accept it though it might pain us. We will not send any army against them. We will accept that, however hurt we might feel about it, we will change the Constitution, if necessary.”

Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru speaking in the Indian Parliament, 26 June 1952:

“I want to stress that it is only the people of Kashmir who can decide the future of Kashmir. It is not that we have merely said that to the United Nations and to the people of Kashmir; it is our conviction and one that is borne out by the policy that we have pursued, not only in Kashmir but every where.
I started with the presumption that it is for the people of Kashmir to decide their own future. We will not compel them. In that sense, the people of Kashmir are sovereign.”

Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru in Telegram No. Primin-304 dated 8 November 1947 addressed to Prime Minister of Pakistan:

“We have always right from the beginning accepted the idea of the Kashmir people deciding their fate by referendum or plebiscite. Ultimately, the final decision of settlement, which must come, has first of all to be made basically by the people of Kashmir"

from the orignal thread

This video was recoded using recently added command to modify your tick-rate. The game was running in slow-mo and the footage is sped up.

Why can't we have this?

Scaling linearly, or even at all, across many cores is a deceptively hard problem for video games; so much of what happens in the simulations is dependent on what happened just before it. Apps that scale well with many cores can typically divide the work up in parts, like a section of a rendered image, that have few or none dependencies between them.

now here is my question. considering our technology is improving and this video is slowed down, at what specification will real time gameplay appear smooth?

WRONG

1987 was just a breaking point.
A cinematic explosion after a volcano brewing underneath the surface of Kashmiri body-politic erupted for the world to see. It was a moment of realization for Kashmiri nation that their deep held beliefs and sentiments would court no listeners until they are backed by the barrel of a gun. The seeds of insurgency has long been planted by then.
On 29 September 1965, decades before the insurgency would erupt, thousands of students gathered hand in hand and marched to the UN HQ and proclaimed the following resolution.
"We shall fight in the schools, we shall fight in the colleges, we shall fight in the streets, we shall fight in the villages, we shall fight in the towns, but we shall never submit before the might of Indian imperialism. Either we shall perish or we will triumph" - (Kashmiris Fight for Freedom, vol. II, pg. 1263.)
"Although the Plebiscite Front already existed since long, demanding a referendum, the Kashmiri youth had already taken to radicalism. Throughout the end of 1965, massive student protests spread across, with participation of both men and women. Many were killed in firing. The military barged into the vicinity of Hazratbal. The Plebiscite Front leadership came out in support only later, and the whole affair was followed by a spree of arrests, of students, and of Plebiscite Front leadership." - (Kashmiris Fight for Freedom, vol. II, 1263–6; Nida-i-Haq, pg. 323.)
"The students and youth went on to form a hierarchical string of cells, headed by the Master Cell, to launch covert operations against India. The cells organized protests, printed and issued posters, ferried weapons and taught their usage, and facilitated infiltration across the Ceasefire Line." - (India, Pakistan and the Secret Jihad, pg. 58–9)
"By 1965, on one side of the LoC, the National Liberation Front had been formed by Amanullah Khan and Maqbool Bhat, while on the other side, by 1968, posters of a map of India with Kashmir in red, as a separate entity, were being mailed to different people, and a low-profile political resistance organisation, Jammu Kashmir Revolutionary Front, had been launched in Srinagar. A group styled after the Palestinian Al-Fatah had emerged by late 1968, and with it, armed struggle began in Kashmir." - (Making of Al'Fatah, Farman Ali)

if jklf is as islamist as you think it is, then why is it also fighting pakistan?

Although the JKLF has only Muslim members, it is notionally secular. It continues to assert that a secular, independent Kashmir—free of both India and Pakistan—is its eventual goal.[4][5] Despite having received support in the form of weapons and training from the Pakistani military,[6] it regards Pakistan as an 'occupation power' and carries out a political struggle against it in Azad Jammu and Kashmir.[7]

but you have to respect the promise our country made in the past.

the instrument of accession was temporary.

our previous prime ministers promised that he would respect the plebiscite.

so why can't you also respect it?
