1-Kashmir , a flashpoint
between india and Pakistan almost since independence
2-Presently the line of
control bifurcate the region with one part administered by india and one by Pakistan
3-India would seek to formalize the current situation and
make it an accepted international line unlike the Pakistan and the separatist (
Kashmiri activist ) who want greater
control over the region
1947-48
Indo pak war over Kashmir
Under UN intervention they
agreed for a ceasefire
A line rendered two regions as following-
Pakistan administerd- one-third of the state i.e the
region what Pakistan calls Azad Jammu
and Kashmir, and the
Northern Areas
India administerd - two-thirds of the state i.e Jammu, Ladakh and the Kashmir Valley,
administered by India.
1972, under the terms of the Simla
agreement, the ceasefire line was renamed the Line
of Control.
Though india has a claim for the whole state
but it has been prepared to agree upon the LOC as the international border
The same scenario has been backed by the US and
UK and sought to turn LOC as international border
However Pakistan has been consistently refusing the idea of LOC as an international border as it would render
the Kashmir valley- which is predominantly
muslim population -under the administration and control of India , and also
this situation does not account for the aspirations of the Kashmiri activists
who are demanding the freedom of Jammu Kashmir or a part thereof as a separate
nation since 1989
