Hello people. I’m supposed to write a paper on an international conflict, so I chose the fight between India and Pakistan over Kashmir. Now problem is I don’t have much information about it, and when I tried googling theres different info in every article. Anyway, so wht I knw is When India and Pakistan separated, it was left upto Kashmir to decide whether it wanted to become a part of India or Pakistan. After that what happened? Did Kashmir never chose? Or do people of Kashmir want different things?(Half of them wanna becum pakis, and half Indians). Why are India and Pak still fighting over it after about 50 years.
Another question what do u think are the way this problem can be resolved? One of them could be both countries compromise and maybe divide Kashmir into two halves and each can have one. Any other suggestions are welcome. Thankyou 
Re: Kashmir Issue.
You are not looking for information on the conflict , then net is full of information on this issue. All three sides of stories are being told on many websites. Tons of books have been written on this subject. You are here to start a fight here. You are looking for some mirch masala. You created a nick and your first post is about Kashmir issue. To me you seems like a troll your questions point to that.
Re: Kashmir Issue.

Re: Kashmir Issue.
Here is some true and very authentic information regarding Kashmir issue, I hope it helps.
Nehru's telegram to Liaqat Ali Khan On 27 October 1947, the day the Indian army officially invaded Kashmir.
Jawaharlal Nehru sent the following telegram to Liaqat Ali Khan, the Prime
Minister of Pakistan:
I should like to make it clear that the question of aiding Kashmir in this emergency is not designed in
any way to influence the State to accede to India. Our view which we have repeatedly made public
is that the question of accession in any disputed territory or State must be decided in accordance
with the wishes of people and we adhere to this view
Nehru's telegram to Liaqat Ali Khan On 31 October 1947, four days after the Indian army officially invaded Kashmir.
Nehru's telegram to Liaqat Ali Khan
Four days later, in his telegram of 3l October, 1947, to Pakistan Prime Minister Liaqat Ali Khan, Nehru said:
" .... our assurance that we shall withdraw our troops from Kashmir as soon as peace and order are
restored and leave the decision about the future of the State to the people of the State is not merely
a pledge to your government but also to the people of Kashmir and to the world."
Extracts from Nehru's Broadcast on 2 November, 1947.
"We have decided to accept this accession and to send troops by air, but we made a 'condition that
the accession would have to be considered by the people of Kashmir later when peace and order
were established. We were anxious not to finalise anything in a moment of crisis, and without the
fullest opportunity to the people of Kashmir to have their say. It was for them ultimately to decide.
"And here let me make clear that it has been our policy all along that where there is a dispute about
the accession of a State to either Dominion, the decision must be made by the people of the State. It was in accordance with this policy that we added a proviso to the Instrument of Accession of
Kashmir.
"We have declared that the fate of Kashmir is ultimately to be decided by the people. That pledge
we have given, and the Maharaja has supported it not only to the people of Kashmir but the world.
We will not, and cannot back out of it. We are prepared when peace and law and order have been
established to have a referendum held under international auspices like the United Nations. We want it to be a fair and just reference to the people, and we shall accept their verdict. I can imagine no fairer and juster offer."
Nehru's reiteration of plebiscite pledge in a telegram to Liaqat Ali Khan of 3 November, 1947
"I wish to draw your attention to broadcast on Kashmir which l made last evening. have stated our
Government's policy and made it clear that we have no desire to impose our will on Kashmir but to
leave final decision to people of Kashmir. l further stated that we have agreed on impartial
international agency like United Nation', supervising any referendum."
Government of India's letter to the Security Council. In its letter of 31 December, 1947, taking the Kashmir issue to the UN, the Government of India wrote to the Security Council:
" .... But in order to avoid any possible suggestion that India had utilised the State's immediate peril
for her own political advantage, the Government of India made it clear that once the soil of the State
had been cleared of the invader and normal conditions restored, its people would be free to decide
their future by the recognised democratic method of plebiscite or referendum which, in order to
ensure complete impartiality, might be held under international auspices."
U.N. Resolution August 13, 1948.
The Government of India and the Government of Pakistan reaffirm their wish that the future status of the State of Jammu and Kashmir shall be determined in accordance with the will of the people and to that end, upon acceptance of the truce agreement, both Governments agree to enter into consultations with the Commission to determine fair and equitable conditions whereby such free expression will be assured.
The High Commands of the Indian and Pakistani forces agree to refrain from taking any measures that might augment the military potential of the forces under their control in the State of Jammu and Kashmir. ( For the purpose of these proposals forces under their control shall be considered to include all forces, organized and unorganized, fighting or participating in hostilities on their respective sides.
Re: Kashmir Issue.
My friend, there are three sides to this issue.
I suggest, you either take up the Pakistani point of view OR the Indian point of view. There is the third option favored by kashmiris - which is being Independent. Pick your choice.
In a nut shell, the Pakistani view is that since Kashmir is Muslim - they should have been made part of Pakistan.
The Indian view is that since the Raja acceded to India, and since Pakistan (invader) did not vacate the area they occupy (azad Kashmir) - things remain 'status quo'.
The Kasmiris view themselves differently - they want 'Independence'.

“^ for an Indian that was a very good answer… ”
^ you must not know too many Indians! Few weeks ago, in another thread, most of us had already come to this conclusion! So badaoo haath is tharaf bhi!
Re: Kashmir Issue.
So first India and Pak decide they'd leave it upto kashmir to decide, and when kashmir decides it wants to be in independant country why the hell are they still fighting over it, jobless!
Thanku guys :), so basically the approach both India and Pak are using is competitive approach, both want one thing and in the quest for kashmir they are ignoriing the thousands of innocent lives being destroyed just so they can get wht they want. Whereas, the approach tht should be used is compromise, where they cum to an agreement peacefully(nvr guna hpn)and they eithr divide it into half or just give up on it completely!
