Hi,
The question of Kashmir is the main bone of contention between India and Pakistan, enemy brothers from the partition of the British Empire of India. New Delhi and Islamabad have waged three wars to assert their rule in this territory located in northern India and with a predominantly Muslim population. A cease-fire line, dating from the first Indo-Pakistani war of 1948, separates the region in two. Since 1989, Kashmir has experienced an armed uprising that has left tens of thousands dead. For the last two months there has been renewed tension in the region. Back on the tragedy of Kashmir in twelve dates.
October 1947: Kashmir is well worth a war
In August 1947, when India and Pakistan gained independence, the princely states of the region under British protectorate had the choice of joining one or the other of the two countries. It was only in October 1947 that the kingdom of Kashmir, which has a majority Muslim population, but is then ruled by a Hindu prince, asks to join the Indian Federation, leading to the first war between India and Pakistan. Both countries claim this mountainous territory, strategically located between India, Pakistan and China.
January 1949: cease-fire and division of the kingdom
After several months of hostilities between the enemy brothers, a UN-brokered ceasefire came into force on 1 January 1949. Pending the self-determination referendum promised by India, the Indian and Pakistan withdraws from both sides of the "Ceasefire Line", which divides de facto Kashmir in two: two thirds forming the Indian Federated State of Jammu and Kashmir (capital Srinagar), and the last third under the Pakistani administration with Azad Jammu and Kashmir ("Jammu and Free Kashmir") with Muzaffarabad as its capital and the Northern Territories, with Gilgit as its capital.
Good bye ;)
