What created the controversy between India and
Pakistan over Kashmir?

• Despite the wishes of Mahatma Gandhi, two
  separate countries were created primarily for
  religious reasons India and Pakistan.
• At the time of the creation of India and Pakistan
  the status of Kashmir (a predominantly Muslim
  area) was left uncertain.
• Two months after that countries were created, an
  arrangement was made between the national
  government in India and the Maharaja of Kashmir
  which gave control to India.
• War immediately erupted between India and
  Pakistan .

controversy?

• In January 2004, Indian Prime Minister Atal
  Behari Vajpayee and Pakistani President Pervez
  Musharraf agreed on a process of normalizing
  relations between the two countries and resolving
  the Kashmir problem.
• Pakistan and India government have tried their
  best for Kashmir problem but there were fail
  because of unexpected terrorism activities.

What does people of Kashmir wants for their
state?

• People wants free Kashmir because they have
  suffered a lot due to war between india and
  Pakistan .
• The problem is not solved for last 50 years
  ,thats why people of Kashmir have lost their
  faith from both governments.

Population of Kashmir

  figure, but approximately it is 13 million
• 10 million in Indian area and 3 million in
  Pakistan area.
• To show Kashmir on the maps has always been a big
  headache for different countries, agencies and
  companies. If they go for one version either of
  the three countries gets angry. Recently a
  decision taken by India forced Microsoft to
  discontinue its sale of software which depicted
  some parts of Kashmir as not integral part of
  India

9
Kashmir a land peace or war?

• No one understands the needs of Kashmir,
  countries like Pakistan and India are just
  wasting their time and money in war.

• They never see the tears from a child when
  his/her relatives gets vanished in terrorist
  activities.

• The question still is in our mind that how this
  problem regarding Kashmir can be solved?
