The demilitarization of the entire region is an afterthought. India first has to recognize that Kashmir is not a part of India before we can move forward with a referendum.

Demilitarization hasnt occurred because neither side trusts the other. But there are mechanisms in place that can get around such problems. The UN for example can deploy peacekeeping forces. But here again, India would need to acknowledge that Kashmir is a disputed territory. But all this will be impossible so long as India insists that Kashmir is a part of India. Thats the stumbling block, not Pakistan’s soldiers.

India believes all of Kashmir (including the part that’s occupied by Pakistan) is a part of India, so its not going to recognize anything to the contrary.

Lets ignore that for a minute and assume that the UN resolution should be implemented. The biggest roadblock there is Pakistani occupation of Kashmir. A precondition for the plebiscite is to return it to the 1947 situation i.e. Pakistan needs to get out.
