Özet:

The state of Jammu and Kashmir has been the root cause of confrontation between India and Pakistan since 1947. Both the countries, now nuclear powers, have already fought wars in 1948, 1965, and 1971 as well as faced Kargil Conflict in 1999 on Kashmir problem. Violating the UN Security Council’s resolutions and Shimla Agreement, India has now annexed its occupied area of Jammu and Kashmir on 5th August 2019 by abrogating article 370 and 35A of the Indian Constitution. Without keeping in mind sensitivities attached to this critical issue, Indian unilateral action has aggravated an already tense environment in South Asia. If the Kashmir problem is not addressed timely, it may initiate another war between the nuclear rival countries Pakistan and India and this would not only destabilize the region but also spiral up to the world.
