Wht's there in Kashmir

History of Kashmir prb goes like this...i'll jus tell the brief outline...

At the end of WW2, Britain had a huge military debt on India but doesnt have the monetary fund to clear it as its own infrastructure was highly devastated in the war. The only way to clear that was thru some kind of trade and British made this wonderful plan to leave India in an insurgency so that it wud b tended to buy weapons frm the west.
Then the proposal for freedom for India came and it was a general truth tht princely stated were given the right either to annex either with any of the partitioned nations or remain independent. This was an awesome strategy to leave as many parts possible of a country and then enjoy the fruits later. Thanx to Sardar Patel thier plan cudnt becum successful.Ok then both India and Pakistan were trying to annex as many princely states as possible. Kashmir was one of the states which wanted independent existence(other 3 wr Bhopal, Hyderabad and Junagarh). Pakistan had an eye on both Junagarh and Kashmir because both were border states. It also didnt want Hyderabad to get it annexed to India and was sending insurgents there in the name of religion.(One unbiased point is that the annexure of Junagarh was on religious basis only). Now Kashmir had more muslims and Pakistan was seeing the success of Sardar Patel and it didnt want to miss the chance with Kashmir so it did an attack with its army in disguise of insurgents. During tht time military of independent states was still unofficially in the British hands. Point to be noted that most of the Indian military was busy in riot affected areas then. They didnt give the mobilisation oreders because they knew that it cud be a fruit bearing issue for them. And Pakistan captured some parts of the Kashmir and in the same time Maharaj Hari Singh signed the annexure statement with India to get military assistance. Point to be noted that most of the Indian military was busy in riot affected areas then. Till the army cud be mobilised, Pakistan captured some parts of the Kashmir.

And a line called LOC was made with Nehru making a blunder of agreeing to consensus in Kashmir under UNO which never happened because at some point or other one of the countries backed off of the consensus proposal. India's argument is that Hari Singh has signed the annexure document so Kashmir is a part of India. While Pakistan doesnt agree to the document because Kashmir is has more muslim population and hence it should be annexed to Pakistan as per the India Independence act. Although as time changed they changed the propoganda to "Freedom of Kashmir" and call the terrorists(Indian perspective) as freedom fighters.

Kashmir is a very strategic territory from military point of view. Himalayas there act as a perfect wall. More than a strategic position, it has become an ego issue in these 60 years for both the countries. And no one want to loose its parts as it can create an huge impact on the integrity of the nation. Askai Chin was again a big strategic area which was handed to China by Pakistan in lieu of arms trade.

Both Lal Bahadur Shastri and Indira Gandhi got a perfect chance of trading Kashmir with the Pakistani areas captured by Indian militray in 1965 and 1971 respectively. But at that time India was hugely dependent on many countries even for food. (Wheat was imported from US till late 60s). And those countries wanted to sell weapons also which were a big source of income for them. If the issue was solved then there wudnt be any conflict. So the prisoners were just made free and the captured land was given as it is(It is an open fact).

The best solution at this date is to make LOC as the International border. Then all the problems wud be solved. Because none of India or Pakistan will part with its peice of Kashmir. More than that both the sides should understand the fact that its all the strategy of west to grow thier economy by keeping us in a war state. Even Russia also wants Kashmir issue to be alive. After the break up of Soviet Union, its economy is highly dependent of arms trade which it does with China, India, North Korea, Cuba, eastern European countries etc. American president sell advanced navy carriers to Pakistan and makes an offer to us for F-16s n F-18s. Its upto the people and government of the both sides to understand that we are not enemy of each other but our common enemy is that which is growing at the cost of us.
