The Kashmir
conflict is a territorial
dispute between India and Pakistan over
the Kashmir region, the northwestern most region of Asia. The two
nation theory that was to guide to the partition of Indian sub-continent was a
unique historical phenomenon, defining Muslims and Hindus as two very different
peoples who could not be kept together on the basis of religion, culture, and
way of living and basic nature of humans. Even visionaries
like Sir Syed Ahmed Khan, Ali brothers and Allama Mohammad Iqbal had
pointed to the same principles of two different nations, much before the
partition of the sub-continent decades later in 1947. The operational principles
was to allow Muslim and Hindu majority areas to join the two independent
countries namely Pakistan and India respectively.
