The State of Kashmir has always been a bone of contention, an eye sore ever since India achieved its independence. Kashmir issue started with the creation of Pakistan. After the rule of one hundred years and end of Second World War, the British decided to leave the country. It was decided that the Muslim majority areas would be included in Pakistan. The states were allowed to affiliate either Pakistan or India. Kashmir was also a state owned by Gulab Singh, Dogra Rajpot. He bought it for RS. 7500000 from Lord Lawrence. The majority in Kashmir was Muslims. But the head of the state affiliated with India against the will of the people. Indian Army invaded Kashmir. The people of Kashmir decided to oppose this decision and started opposition. As a result of this conflict, some part of Kashmir was freed. It is known as Azad Kashmir. India took this matter to UNO for decision. It was decided in two resolutions that the decision of affiliation should be made on the bases of opinion of the majority. But even after passing many decades, decision couldnt be made in this regard. This unjust occupying has resulted the military strife in Kashmir. Nearly seven lac army is deployed by India to control the freedom movement of the people. This conflict has claimed thousands of deaths on the both sides. The innocent people of Kashmir have been killed. Hundreds of women have been raped by the Indian soldiers. India has violated all the forms of human rights in Kashmir. Kashmir Issue is the continuous cause of distress in both the countries. Three wars have been fought since the unjust control of Kashmir. There was excessive loss in these three wars. Due to this issue, the relationship of India and Pakistan never become normal. There is excessive expenditure on defense in both countries. This aspect is very destructive. Only the dead have seen the end of war. Plato Kashmir is very important for the both countries. No one wants to get back from ones claim. Kashmir is unbreakable part according to the foreign policy of India. The Pakistani raise slogan that Kashmir is Shahrag of Pakistan. It is paradise and no non believer can get paradise. The state has an area of 84,471 square miles. It has 902 miles long border with Pakistan and with India 317 miles only. The three main rivers of Pakistan, namely, the Indus, the Jhelum and the Chenab are their sources in Kashmir. The two roads that link Kashmir with the rest of the world also lie through Pakistan. More than 80% of the people of Jammu and Kashmir are Muslims. Thus geographically, culturally, economically and religiously Kashmir is an integral part of Pakistan. Thus Kashmir is part and parcel of Pakistan. Pakistani Govt. has raised her voice on every world forum for the people of Kashmir. But this issue is still undecided. The world powers dont play their roles in the solution of Kashmir issue. Kashmiri Muslims are leading a poor life. They are treated badly by the Indian forces. They are put into jails for minor suspicions and having affiliation for Pakistan and freedom movement. It is the most beautiful valley in the world. Kashmir Issue is an endless debate. Many insurgencies have been occurring on border due to this issue. Indian Prime Minister Vajpaye and Nawaz Sharif were negotiating to solve Kashmir issue but Pakistani Army started Kargal Crises. This sabotaged the peace talks and developed a breach between Indian and Pakistan. Now India has a strong hold on Kashmir as she is an emerging economic power. The world powers find India a great market for defense weapons and other things. Thus they dont emph asize India for the violation of human rights. This issue brought many regional conflicts. Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime. Ernest Hemingway It is the need of hour that Kashmir issue should be solved to keep peace in the sub-continent so that all the people may live peacefully and happily. The expenses consumed on weapons and nuclear weapons should be used on health and poverty of the people. In this way, conflicts can be resolved.
