Although I'm an Indian I think that both India and Pakistan are responsible for the Kashmir problem. Normally Indians blame Pakistan and Pakistanis blame India. It's not that simple. We must know what people of Kashmir want. Most of the Kashmiris want independence. However if India loses Kashmir it would be easier for terrorists to attack India. This is the reason why India can't let go of Kashmir

No. I guess u got the wrong info. Let me give u some facts on India / Pak regarding Kashmir since 1947. Its long but i hope u read it. Read especially the part about partition, and the states having a choice whom to join.\n\n\nPakistan claims that Kashmir should be a part of Pakistan bcoz majority population is Muslim (mainly after terrorizing and driving out 600,000 Hindus). The Pak army just wants to use Kashmir as a base for a larger agenda of destroying and talibanizing India and converting it into a Islamic theocracy. And India's claim is based on the treaty signed by the then king of Kashmir (same treaty was signed by other princely states for accession to India) and secularism.\n\nUN Security Council resolutions 38-40, and particularly the resolution of August 13, 1948, said that Pakistan had attacked Kashmir, and ordered Pakistan to withdraw its forces and its tribals (those were disguised as tribals but they were pak army men). Pakistan has yet to obey UN Security Council and withdraw from lands (now called POK, Pak Occupied Kashmir) controlled illegally.\nRecently released documents reveal that in 1948, the then US Secretary of State Gen. George C. Marshall told the pro-Pak British that Kashmirs accession with India was legal and final as far as US was concerned.\nIn 1952, the Kashmir legislature, elected in elections recognized by observers as free and fair, with 100% of the legislators Muslim, voted to ratify Kashmirs accession with India. And the elections after that too were similar. Compare POK with Indian Kashmir.\n\nPakistan gave away a large part of the POK to China, which now claims those lands as its own.\n\nIn April 1993, then CIA director James Woosley at an open Senate hearing said, Pakistan, while not yet on the State Department's list of state sponsors of terrorism, but is Aon the brink. (in 1993, now its worse).\nIn December 1999, the Director of CIA George Tenet and State Department Coordinator for Counterterrorism Michael Sheen testified before a Senate subcommittee that US has evidence that Pakistan is a state-sponsor of terrorism against India.\nIn 2000, State Departments report on terrorism described Pakistans official involvement in terrorism against India, but fell short of adding Pakistan to list of countries sponsoring terrorism because that would have automatically triggered severe sanctions against an old cold-war ally.\nIn 2000, a bipartisan Congressional commission on terrorism recommended to the State Department that sanctions be imposed on Pakistan for its role in terrorism, but this report was ignored.\n\nThe British government in Spring 2001 put several Pakistan-supported organizations openly engaged in terrorism on the official list of terrorist organizations, to be followed later by the US.\nMajor political parties in Pakistan and Pak media have repeatedly asked Pak governments over the years to break bonds with terrorists and get out of the Kashmir issue, because supporting terrorists has resulted only in increasing Talibanization of Pakistan.\nBenazir Bhutto, ex-Pak Prime Minister, has said that ISI (Pakistani governments intelligence service) is a force onto itself, and she had no knowledge of what ISI was doing when she was PM.\nOn 11-21-01, the Hon. Mr. Robert D. Blackwell, US Ambassador to India, told the press that Pakistan-supported individuals involved in killings in Kashmir are terrorists and that They are not freedom fighters. No country will be permitted to provide sanctuaries to terrorists. He made similar comments again on 2-27-02\n\nPak Governments direct and obvious involvement in terrorism against India over decades has resulted in 50,000 HINDUS being amongst 70,000 innocent civilians KILLED and 500,000 TO 600,000 HINDUS FLED KASHMIR IN TERROR; world has been silent about this ethnic cleansing of Hindus from Kashmir.\n\nPakistan, which created, nurtured and protected Taliban, has claimed that Taliban is not terrorist.\nPakistan press reported in Dec. 2001 th

Well bro if you want all the history chronological then it here:\nKashmir was free and I should be given freedom....\n\n\n 1947: August 14/15. British India is partitioned into India and Pakistan as part of the independence process. Majority Muslim areas in the West (now all of Pakistan) and East (the place now called Bangladesh) form Pakistan. The British also allow the nominal rulers of several hundred "princely states," who were tax collectors for the British and served at British pleasure, to decide whether they wanted to join India or Pakistan. Pakistan demands Kashmir accede to it. The Hindu ruler of Kashmir does not make a choice. Kashmir has three major ethnic areas: Ladakh in the northwest, which is majority Buddhist; the Kashmir Valley (controlled by India) and the part now controlled by Pakistan, which is majority Muslim, and Jammu (in the south), which is majority Hindu. The overall majority is Muslim.\n\n1948: "Tribesmen" from Pakistan invade Kashmir with the support of the Pakistani government. The ruler of Kashmir asks India for help. India demands that Kashmir should accede to India first. The ruler agrees. India sends forces to Kashmir and the invasion is blocked. Kashmir is divided into a Pakistani controlled part and an Indian controlled part. This de facto partition continues to this date with the dividing line being known as the Line of Control.\n\n1948: India takes the Kashmir issue to the U.N. Security Council, which passes a resolution calling on Pakistan to do all it can "secure the withdrawal" of Pakistani citizens and "tribesmen" and asking that a plebiscite be held to determine the wishes of the people of Kashmir. Neither the force withdrawal nor the plebiscite has taken place.\n\n1962: India and China fight a border war. China occupies a part of Ladakh.\n\n1965: India and Pakistan fight a border war along the India-West Pakistan border and the Line of Control in Kashmir. U.N. brokered cease fire and withdrawal to pre-war lines affirmed by the leaders of the two countries at a 1966 summit meeting in Tashkent, USSR (now Toshkent, Uzbekistan).\n\n1970-1971: An election in (East and West) Pakistan results in an overall majority for an East Pakistani party, which is ethnically mainly Bengali. The Pakistani military refuses to allow the Parliament to convene. East Pakistanis demand autonomy, then independence in the face of brutal repression by the Pakistani military. Guerilla warfare ensues. About ten million refugees stream into India from East Pakistan. India also provides sanctuary to Bangladeshi guerillas. Pakistan attacks airfields in India and Indian-controlled Kashmir. India strikes back in West Pakistan and also intervenes in the East on the side of the Bangladeshis. The U.S., in a "tilt" towards Pakistan, sends a nuclear-armed aircraft carrier, the Enterprise, and its battlegroup, to the region, in an implicit nuclear threat to India (which influences nuclear politics of India in favor of nuclear testing). Pakistan loses the war on both fronts and Bangladesh becomes independent.\n\n1972: India and Pakistan sign a peace accord, known as the Simla (or Shimla) agreement, according to which both sides agree "to settle their differences by peaceful means through bilateral negotiations or by any other peaceful means mutually agreed upon between them." Both countries agree that they will not unilaterally try to alter the Line of Control in Kashmir.\n\n1974: India tests a nuclear device. Pakistan accelerates its nuclear weapons program.\n\n1980s: U.S. supports Islamic resistance to Soviet occupation of Afghanistan and also the dictatorship of Zia-ul-Haq in Pakistan, which promotes Islamic fundamentalism in Pakistan.\n\nLate 1980s: There is a state-level election in the Indian-controlled portion of Kashmir. There is evidence of fraud. Militancy rises in Kashmir. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Hindu fundamentalism begins to become more power

That's for the Indians to decide. They are the world's largest Democracy in terms of population though.

India is one of the most exotic places in the world that offers such a rich and ancient history, culture, music, art, religion and traditions.\n\nIndia gained its independence from the British rule in 1947 and is a fairly "young" republic. But with a population of over a billion people today, the country is plagued with poverty that seems insurmountable due to the corruption in government that remains unchecked, a lackluster economy, and perhaps an aftermath of their customary caste system.\n\nThere has been on-going border tension between India [majority Hindus] and its neighbor, Pakistan [majority Muslims] in that sub-continent part in Asia.\n\nOne thing I admire among its people is their manner of greeting each other--with both palms together in prayer form as they nod to greet--which symbolizes their 'RESPECT TO THE DEITY WITHIN' the other person. Ain't that so great?\n\nMore people should practice that tradition openly... And perhaps we will have a much better world to live in!

All I know is India and Pakistan have a region between them called Jamo & Kashmir and they fight there like hell.\nSo what's the point?\nI hope they don't end up nuking each other. I really like India.

Why not?  India would be a perfect member in the UNSC.  India have proven that religion will not play a major role in its political decisions.  Maybe the world can learn from India.

no but pakistan and india were one nation in the past and the british led to their division which was very depressing and awful as their were massacres all around as people of hindu and muslim religion were just running towards the indian and pakistani parts (now) respectively.

In the spring of 1999, Pakistani Army and Kashmiri guerillas occupied the vacant Indian Army posts atop the mountains and after it was discovered by Indians it led to a limited war. After months of military fighting and diplomatic intervention, troops on the pakistani side retreated leaving kargil back to India. It was seen as a political failure in pakistan for the capitulation of captured territory back to India, while the Indians claimed it as a military victory.\n\nLosses are always a guesstimate in the subcontinent wars, but as per official records, Indians lost 600 men while Pakistan may have lost close to 1,000. Former PM of Pakistan Nawaz Sharif however claims that 4,000 pakistanis died - a figure backed up by another pakistani party (PPP) headed by an ex-PM Benazir Bhutto.

you are. no doubt about it. on one side u are talking about humanity on the other hand Hiroshima & Nagasaki.on one hand you are talking about fighting against terrorism on the other hand you are neglecting(or helping?) Pakistan. on one hand you are asking China to retreat from chinies taipei on the other hand you are occuping Afganistan,Iraq and Iran on the agenda next. you want the world to be under your foot. but never forget Hitler, Musolini, Alexander the great,Japan they all failed. where are you heading for? as far as China, India,Israel is concerned you will be axing the branch on which you are sitting. Pakistan is already under your control.

I thought Hinduism was the dominant religion there... if you are talking about the sport... back in the day India was a British colony... cricket is a British sport... makes sense to me.
