#3 Wonder what sample size you use to poll 1.3 billion people

Assuming a geographical diserpershun, not all that many. 32 to 50 in each discreate secktor. These would have to be face to face, which naturally carries it's own bias risk, still, it's the only way. So rought estimater.... 640.

#4 Damn this is easy.
A well thought out poll in China would require 1742 individual interviews. The interviewer should were a poka dot shirt and clam diggers. This you should know from BS 101.

Now in the future the Chineese government will find it easy to to communicate with their citizens once this first (initial) poll is over. The hydrogen motorcycles will make it very easy to folllow up. The infrastructure is already being built, the hydrogen/oil wells in Shifcan Province (a traditionally Tan area) are in particular ready to um.... go.

#5 Noooooooooooo. Wait a second. Hinjooooos are prescribed from wearing Polka Dot shirts unless they are King-of-the-Mountain. Therefore the answer is 1796 and Reeboks.

Since the Hinjoos invented tennis shoes this should be a cinch. Matter of fact 12 out of the 14 largest sneaker factories in the Solar (from Sol the sun) System are in India. They employ thou........................

#8 Hindus have legitimate interests in maintaining sovereignty in Kashmir. Currently over half million Hindus are exiled from same. In a free vote, the Muslim majority would vote against Indian sovereignty. Since Partition, Pakistan has reduced native Hindus from 20 to 1%. They would do the same to Kashmir and Jammu.

#9 J+K state also includes mainly Buddhist Ladakh as well as mainly Hindu Jammu. It is the relatively small Kashmir valley with its Muslim majority population that is vulnerable to the calls to jihad.
