Why Kashmir remains one of the most militarized regions in the world. • Become a Video Lab member! http://bit.ly/video-lab • The dispute between India and Pakistan over Kashmir is one of the longest running conflicts. Ever since Britain left India in 1947 and hastily drew borders demarcating a Hindu-majority India and a Muslim-majority Pakistan, Kashmir, located right between the two, has been fervently claimed by both nations. • India and Pakistan’s first war was fought over Kashmir’s status as the the newly independent countries were being formed. After over a year of bloody conflict the UN stepped in and brokered a ceasefire that drew a line down the middle of Kashmir and gave a portion of the territory to India and the remainder to Pakistan. This arrangement was meant to be temporary. Once the violence settled a vote was to be held that would allow Kashmiris to decide their own future. • But more than 70 years later, Kashmiris have yet to vote on their status. They remain stuck between two nuclear nations locked in a dangerous conflict with no end in sight. • Additional reading and sources on the conflict: • [BBC Timeline] • https://www.bbc.com/news/world-south-... • [UN report — Human Rights in Kashmir] https://www.ohchr.org/Documents/Count... • [CFR Conflict Tracker] • https://www.cfr.org/interactive/globa... • [Freedom House Report] • https://freedomhouse.org/report/freed... • Special thanks to Kashmiris who shared their opinions with us: • Aqib Salam • Aarif Shah • Aijaz Ganaie • Injilla Sidiq • Sadaf Zehra • Mian Tufail • Mehak Dhaar • Rehan • Rihana Maqbool • Waqas Khan • Sajid Yousuf • Tariq Bashir • Through Vox Atlas, producer Sam Ellis demonstrates where conflicts occur on a map and the ways in which foreign policy shapes a region.
