Conflict between India and Pakistan Analytical Essay by Master Researcher

The paper provides some background to the conflict and explains how it dates back to the end of British rule over the Indian subcontinent in 1947 and the partitioning of what used to be a single country into India and Pakistan. The paper shows how the situation has grown more complicated in the past decade and considers the conflict's future resolution. The paper posits that the Indian government will probably never agree to Kashmiri independence or a merger of the state with Pakistan; the best hope is that India will extend autonomous status to the region or will merge the Indian and Pakistani portions together in a semi-autonomous province. The paper notes that Pakistan, in return, will have to end support of the insurgency.
