Topic 13B RAFT 24B Analyze The sources of ethnic and religious conflicts in B. Kashmir:

 A series of wars and ongoing guerrilla operations have ensured that Jammu and Kashmir has remained one of the most volatile and bloody regions of the world.

Kashmir is the northwestern region of the Indian subcontinent.

Conflicts occurred between the Indian-Pakistani come into being and Kashmir being the dominant state, the Indian state was under Britain.

When the British decolonized India in 1947 it split into two counties Pakistan and India but there was dispute on who was to rule Kashmir.

The British treasured India as a jewel in the kings crown.

Kashmir was one of approximately a so-called "princely" state that had existed in India under the British.

What actually transpired was a complicated sequence of events, which led to this tinpot despot of Jammu and Kashmir declaring allegiance to India and formally acceding his domain legally to the Indian union.

This article presents a case study of Indian-Pakistani relations over Kashmir, used to evaluate the role of religion and the explanatory power of the approach presented here The parties in this conflict are India, Pakistan, China, and the people of Kashmir.

Pakistan and India were fighting over the land of Kashmir. This fight brought in conflict with religion, ethnicity, culture, and nationalism.

Several wars have been fought over this land since India was divided along religious lines (Hindu and Muslim) shortly after World War II. Most of China's land has been forfeited while there is still massive amounts of violence in Kashmir to this day.

India's official position is that Kashmir is an integral part of India. Pakistan's official position is that Kashmir is a disputed territory whose final status must be determined by the people of Kashmir.

People took religion personally instead of just where they live or what they do. It was their strong beliefs being criticized

Jammu and Kashmir at that time was approximately 77 percent Muslim, 20 percent Hindu and 3 percent other, mainly Sikh. Under the partition formula, Jammu and Kashmir probably belonged to Pakistan, because it had a solid Muslim majority.

Jammu and Kashmir were one of the biggest of the princely states, which were normally self-governed but ultimately under British control, like the rest of the subcontinent.

China controls 20% of Kashmir including Aksai Chin which it occupied following the brief Sino-Indian War of 1962.

There were religious problems in Kashmir because it was a majority Muslim area that was being ruled by a Hindu leader.

Both sides strongly believe in their religion and are proud of their ethnicity, so that causes conflicts between the two sides.

The two religions in Kashmir were Hindu and Muslim.

The reason for the religious conflicts in Kashmir was that there was kind of a major problem, Kashmir was already a majority Muslim country, but being ruled by a ruler that was Hindu, that caused conflicts because obviously the ruler would want his own religion to be the religion of Kashmir.  There were many different wars, battles, and fights going on at this time between mainly the land of Kashmir. With different religions it made it harder for people to agree.

The people from Kashmir practiced both Islam and Hinduism.

Kashmir was fought over for many years between pakistan india and the people of Kashmir.

There were several wars fought over the land because India was divided along religious lines shortly after World War II.

The Kashmir conflict is still going on, and the Kashmir citizens still don't know whether they are Indian or Pakistani.

Ethnic conflicts with a strong religious component do not have merely domestic or foreign causes and consequences. As a result, internationalization of ethnic conflict has become an important subject of inquiry both in terms of pure research and policy-oriented studies. This article presents a case study of Indian-Pakistani relations over Kashmir, used to evaluate the role of religion and the explanatory power of the approach presented here. The aim of the study is to apply a foreign policy approach that simultaneously incorporates domestic and external factors in an analysis of how and in what ways religious elements of the Kashmir question affect India's foreign policy. The approach, an application of “systemism,” contributes to current developments in the realist school of international relations through its emphasis on the need to look at both international and state levels in combination. Earlier applications of realism, as both neotraditional and structural realism clearly demonstrate, tend to remain restricted to one level or the other. In this approach, a religious dynamic can have a domestic source yet be effectively examined in terms of international ramifications

Kashmir is a disputed territory between three countries: The People's Republic of China, India, and Pakistan.

Hindu and Muslim were the two that were practiced in Kashmir.

British loved India but the Kashmir conflict is still going on.

Kashmir is a country bordering northern India and southern Pakistan it is a naturally rich area and both bordering countries want a part of it.

The two religions that were practiced in Kashmir in Hinduism and Muslim where have led to many conflicts over the years.

India and Pakistan faced off to take over the territory of Kashmir, over ethnicity, religion and nationalism.

At that time, the princely states had three choices on paper: they could either accede to India; they could accede to Pakistan; or they could opt to be independent units.

in the 1950s when the british colonised india and pakistan a space between them which is now know as kashmir has risen between the two northern and southern borders.

China, India, and Pakistan each controlled sections of Kashmir and have been fighting for complete control of the whole nation for decades.

after the 1948 war between india and Pakistan over disputed Kashmir, allows the people of Kashmir to join either India or Pakistan.
