Talking about Kashmir raises many questions in one’s mind like:

The answers to these questions are yet to be provided. Kashmir is officially known as

Jammu and Kashmir state. It shares borders with Pakistan, India, and China. It was under
the rule of Hindu Maharaja Ranjit Singh. Its population ratio is 80% Muslims and 20%

Hindus. At the time of partition of the Sub-continent, Kashmir was given a chance to

join Pakistan or India. Keeping in view the 80% Muslim population, it was very clear that

It is nearly six decades since Kashmir has been a disputed territory due to the unjust

are valiantly fighting against the oppressors and sacrificing their lives for the right of
self-determination and liberation.

Kashmir that was usually called the earthly paradise due to its supreme natural beauty

t
has now become the valley of blood, bullets, bayonets, fire and dead bodies because of
w

the atrocities of the Indian army. The geographical location of Kashmir is tremendously
important as it borders on five countries, namely Pakistan, India, China, Russia and
w

Afghanistan. It is situated at the height of 5000 feet above the sea level comprising the
//w

area of 85000 square miles. It has got all four seasons and the climate is bitterly cold in
winter and moderates in summer. The economy of Kashmir is mainly agricultural based
s:

on various kinds of timber, silk, wool, fruit, saffron, walnut, wood, carpets and various
tp

other small handicrafts. Kashmir is also highly rich in the deposition of various minerals,
and it is also the catchments area of some famous rivers which flow both in India and
ht

Pakistan. So, the geographical location of Kashmir is of vital significance for both
countries.

was virtually a despotic era for the Kashmiries and it eventually resulted in Quit Kashmir
Movement against the Maharaja in 1931. Later, in the unjust partition of the
subcontinent Kashmir was not included in Pakistan, rather it was left at the Hindu
Maharajas mercy. The people of Kashmir started no-tax agitation which, later on,
assumed a militant form.

t/
Having been defeated by the local Muslim population, the Hindu Maharaja invited

ne
Indian troops to crush the agitation. India entered the valley and then refused to
withdraw her forces and eventually declared Kashmir as an integral part of India.

y.
Keeping in view the evil designs of India, Pakistan also deployed her forces in the
border regions. This confrontation resulted in the first clash between India and Pakistan

ud
in 1948. The security Council arranged a ceasefire dividing Kashmir by the Line of

st
Control. In 1957, the United Nations adopted a resolution which speaks:

and have thus become totally invalid.

So far as the role of Pakistan is concerned, it is of great significance. It is also an

undeniable fact that all the freedom movements of the world were supported by some
friendly countries. As the world organizations like Amnesty International and Red Cross
are doing nothing in this regard, the immediate responsibility rests on Pakistan to

t/
provide the Kashmiris with moral, material and diplomatic assistance in order to find an

ne
honorable and just solution of this problem. Besides this, a large number of Kashmiris
are living on the border towns of Rawalpindi, Sialkot, Wazirabad, Gujranwala and

It is also a hard fact that once the spirit of sacrifice and freedom is awakened in any

Possible Solutions for Kashmir Problem

Many possible options regarding the solution of this problem are under active

t/
consideration, namely to make the present Line of Control a permanent border, to give

ne
Kashmir semi-independence or to allow the Kashmiris to have an absolutely
independent national state. But India and Pakistan should not impose any decision on

the Kashmiries against their wishes and long cherished aspirations.

suggestions on a solution that would be acceptable not only to Pakistan and India but

also to the people of Kashmir. However, there is still no sign that the two sides have

To sum up, Kashmir has been internationally recognized as a disputed territory. Despite
terrible atrocities and flagrant human rights violations, the flames of mass rebellion are
rising higher and higher and there will be no end to it. The United Nations and the

other organizations should play their most needed role to settle this alarming issue

Kashmir Issue conclusion

The Indians must realize the hollowness of their claims and should not try to cheat the
world by holding bogus elections in the held Kashmir. Pakistan should continue her
moral, material and diplomatic support of the Kashmiris. The time is not far away when
the Kashmiris will succeed in dismantling the barbed wire entanglements, recently
