Although many diplomatic efforts and international interventions were carried out, the constant decisions have not yet been achieved.
This conflict began with the spread of India of Britain in 1947 into two countries: India and Pakistan.
The state of Jammu and Kashmir, the majority of the population of Muslims, but controlled by Hindu Maharaja, Singh’s Day, became the starting point of the conflict.
When Pakistan supported the invasion of Muslim fighters in Kashmir, Maharaja decided to join India, which then sent troops to ensure the region.
This caused the first Indian-Pakistani war in 1947-1948. This war ended with the cessation of fire, the mediated organization of the United Nations and the formation of the control line (LOC), which shares the Kashmir region controlled by India and Pakistan.
The main reason for the conflict
1. Political status of Kashmir
India considers Jammu and Kashmir an integral part of their territory, based on the acquisition agreement, while Pakistan considers the region of the natural property of the Pakistanis, because the majority of the population is a Muslim.
2. Identity and nationalism
In India, Kashmir has a strategic and symbolic value in maintaining territorial integrity. In Pakistan, the problem of Kashmir touched the ideological aspects of the formation of the state based on Islam.
3. Reference refusal
One of the UN Security Council in 1948 proposed a referendum to determine the fate of Kashmir, but so far it has never been done.
