Kashmir Conflict

Disputes over land seem to be a catalyst for almost every hostility and war since the dawn of time. The addition of politics and religion into the matter only serves to aggravate an already tense situation. Kashmir knows this all too well. The conflict between Hindus and Muslims seems to be an ever reoccurring battle. This is also evidenced in population battles. Hindus make up the social majority of the population of India by almost eighty percent. Feelings of tension and uneasiness are a natural reaction to being dominated by a majority and are a problem unto itself.

Nuclear Weapons have persisted to be the decisive deterrent to any assailant, and the best means of establishing peace. There are many different views on nuclear weapons, even though they cost an extravagate amount of money; they come with positive aspects’. In fact nuclear weapons are one of the greatest reasons that nations do not want to go to war, but alternately, strive to inquire clarification through negotiations. First and foremost, it is very important to analyze just how nuclear weapons prevent war.

When the Soviets installed missiles in Cuba, this threathened the position of the United States and this showed them that going against the Soviets in the future can be dangerous and the war will turn into a Nuclear fight very fast. Additionally, after the separation of Hindu dominated country India and Muslim dominated country Pakistan, fight over a city near the borders of each country started. Both the countries have been fighting since then to gain power over Kashmir. Pakistan sends it's mujahideen forces to fight the Indian soldiers and massive amounts of deaths have occured since. Both the countries have Nuclear powers and the Western countries have stopped trying to interfere in their

As we head towards the next millennium, no longer are there a few, traditional forces to lead the world economically. "Third-world" nations, such as India, are beginning to harness their manpower into greater modes of production, which signifies the end of "superpowers," and the beginning of economic parity throughout the world. In this age of globalization, it is becoming quite clear that no longer can the United States dictate world order. In the coming years, expect interdependence from every country, which will eliminate the state of the superpowers as we know it. India, which maintains the world’s largest democracy, is one nation that is making strides to assert their presence as a world power.

The subject of nuclear development has been very sensitive in world politics among nations that have vested interest. As some countries steered towards the development of such sophisticated weapons, they were met with heavy criticism, from those who already possess them. Those countries that already developed nuclear weapons worked towards minimizing and safety securing such weapons. Different interest groups pushed the agenda for their perspective states to mounting towards nuclear capability. In the field of nuclear proliferation it is politically motivated with different key players advocating for the need to proliferate. The development for nuclear capability has been echoed as being the basis for bringing peace and stability to such countries. Scholarly minds have jumped into the notion that being nuclear arm can bring peace and stability among those states that have nuclear weapons. However as every argument is met with skepticism, there are those scholars that suggest being nuclear arm is a bad idea waiting to explode. This research will locate the case between the two nuclear arm states of Pakistan and Indian and the conflict that brews between them. The analysis and assumptions between these two states will be based on the theories of deterrence and organizational theory. These states present an interesting point of view due to their

The Palestinians and the Israelis are now at war to fight for Israel. The two nations have recently been in a dilemma. The dilemma was that a stabbing took place somewhere in Gaza. The Israeli people don't have a very big army so that gives the Palestinians an advantage. The Israelis have military weapons that are hidden so that if Palestine invades Israel they won't find any weapons. Their military is not very high tech weaponry system. They have very high tech weaponry systems.

The continued conflict between India and Pakistan is the main driver behind the stalling of Pakistan to move towards an FMCT. Pakistan claims that an FMCT “would lock-in an unfair strategic advantage for India” thus resulting in the continuation of both countries building their nuclear arsenals making these two countries the largest fissile material contributors.12 North Korea’s production of fissile material is centered on their belief that it provides regional security serving as a nuclear deterrent “preserving peace and stability in the Korean peninsula and other parts of Northeast Asia.”12 Israel’s lack of transparency regarding both its own nuclear capability and/or production of fissile material further poses potential issues in achieving consensus of an FMCT.

During World War II, the Palestinian leadership actively supported the Nazi party (Beinin). The israeli-Palestine conflict is one of the longest ongoing conflicts throughout history dating all the way back to 3,000 years of conflict between these two very different cultures, and the land they live on. Even though the Palestinian death toll has been unfortunately very high throughout this ongoing conflict, Israel must and should take necessary action to defend itself from the Palestinian terrorism, and Israel has done everything in its power to bring a peaceful end to this seemingly never-ending conflict.

In this essay I hope to look at the issues of conflict in South Asia focusing on India and in particular the continuing Hindu-Muslim tensions, and look at possible reasons for the continuing conflict which appears to have escalated since the withdrawal of British Rule from India. Multiple events had shaped the Indian subcontinent with

Kashmir is conflict territory after the partition of India and Pakistan. Conflict is not only between India and Pakistan but also India and the religious militants. Religious Militants are conducting a jihad to govern by the religious law. Historically, Kashmir included Sufis Muslim not orthodox Muslim. Numerous international events had influenced in the growth of Islamic fundamentalism in Kashmir. Jihad is not originally from Kashmir but they are foreign militancy bought during the end of the Soviet –Afghanistan War. Additionally, they are trained in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Pakistan Inter service Intelligence helped them to incorporate into organized militant groups. Pakistan helped Jihad group with full moral,

Jammu and Kashmir is being contested by India and Pakistan as their integral part since 1947. The conflict of Kashmir started at the time of the partition of the subcontinent into two countries, India and Pakistan in 1947. It was decided that the Muslim majority states will accede to Pakistan and the Hindu majority states will go to India. Jammu and Kashmir despite being a Muslim majority state had to accede to India by the virtue of instrument of accession signed between the Maharaja and Lord Mount Batten, the then Governor General of India (Schofield, 2010).The problem of Jammu and Kashmir could have only been solved through a plebiscite which the then Prime minister of India promised to the people of Kashmir and was also upheld

The context and focus of this essay will be India’s nuclear activity between 1968 up until the Pohkran-II tests in 1998. The background element shows that, in 1968, India wanted to protect its own right of experimenting with nuclear weapons by not signing the NPT (nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty). India in 1974 had engaged in a nuclear test, which New Delhi advanced to say that was not a “weapon” but was, however, “peaceful” (Sullivan, 2012 3). International audiences were fazed by the nuclear action by India, especially the United States of America, consequently filing and constructing laws that prevented India from trading multilaterally along with posing nuclear banning laws against the Indian state. It can be demonstrated that India for a long time, remained outside the nuclear circle of states, which was controlled and built by the powerful United States. An agreement was reached between the two states rather long after India’s first tests, which marked a not only a new position in diplomatic relations, but the understanding that India was marked as a new nuclear power. Why did India decide to openly

Kashmir was originally a part of India when the conflict began, though, due to its high Muslim population, it leaned more towards Pakistan. According to The Times of India, “53% of the population of Kashmir is Muslim” and wants to “secede to Pakistan”. However, the conflict arises because Kashmir is also a part of Jammu. The two combine to make one state with is effectively known as Jammu and Kashmir. Jammu, according to The Times of India, “wants to stay with India”.

The war between Pakistan and India in 1965 and 1999 see also (Bose, S. 2009) has shown that India and Pakistan are increasing their military power and facing the challenges. On the other hand, China is behind the Pakistan. So India is worrying if USA and China extend their support to Pakistan and Pakistan prepares to attack Kashmir. Indian central politics are also responsible for improving Kashmir case. Sonia Gandhi (leader of Indian Congress) is a liberal and her party wants a dialogue with Kashmir and Pakistan both.

The ruler of the fourth state declared Kalat 's independence as this was one of the options given to all of the 535 princely states by British Prime Minister Clement Attlee. Kalat finally acceded to Pakistan on March 27, 1948 after the 'strange help ' of All India Radio and a period of negotiations and bureaucratic tactics used by Pakistan.
