Abstract

Few disputes in the world would have caused so much of tension and blood-shed for so many years as that involving present position of Kashmir. Both, the poor nations of South Asian region from the day of independence are dissipating their limited resources on fruitless bloody endeavours. Despite fighting four bitter wars in last sixty-six years or so; now these nuclear nations are involved in the most bloody proxy war. As a result, both sides have lost thousands of innocent lives and rendered millions of people homeless. The core of the dispute which has plagued Indo-Pak relations and defies any solution to the imbroglio revolves around the issue of Jammu and Kashmir State’s accession to India.
