KASHMIR: UNRESOLVED ISSUE BETWEEN INDIA AND PAKISTAN

Vippan Sharma

Abstract :

The fact remains that India–Pakistan relationship had been and rather remains complex and variable. Based on a compromise approach, the peace process enabled the two countries to discuss all issues including Kashmir, simultaneously. Since its inception, the dialogue process has gone through highs and lows in bilateral relations. It has remained susceptible to unfortunate incidents which have derailed the process several times in the past. The analysis of the peace process in this paper hinges on key questions that over six decades, bilateral relations between Pakistan and India have been shadowed by the Kashmir conflict. However, Pakistan’s ability to oaden engagement with India and move beyond Kashmir depends on a sustained democratic transition. While Pakistan’s relations with India should certainly evolve and to some extent are already going beyond a narrow Kashmir–centric approach, stronger economic links would not only strengthen existing and create new constituencies for peace dialogue in both countries but also opened new opportunties for a composite dialogue on longstanding disputes, including Kashmir.
