Kashmir Longest Dispute

The dispute between India and Pakistan regarding the territory of state of Jammu and Kashmir is the oldest and longest surviving dispute on earth. India claims that Kashmir is an integral part of India. Pakistan claims that people of Kashmir are the ones that should determine their own future. Both countries refuse that region should be independent. The dispute has consumed millions of lives on both sides apart from trillions of dollars since 1947. The Kashmir dispute is now registered in the Guinness Book of World Records as the largest militarized territorial dispute currently on the planet.

Who tried the evil means!! Have you ever learned the history of Pak try'g to invade Kashmir???
Kashmir never agreed to join Pak even when it was a independent state. The king Hari Singh signed treaty to join Kashmir with India. Immediately Pak declared war on Kashmir and India helped the state which joined the union. Pak unleashed surprise attach even as soon as the peace agreed between the nations. But never won and never will.

Kashmir was never Pak's and never will be.

Just because of few corrupted+selfish politicians in India, whole Kashmir was never taken back and Pak still holds a part of Kashmir. Orelse the whole tragedy of killings would never have happened.

Dear Humans, I am from Pakistan, but I am against both countries. Fighting for a land for such a long time, I don't understand why both countries are not coming to conclusion. Asking from Pakistani they will bring facts and from Indians they will also bring some facts. If I would be the decision maker, I would leave it on Kashmiris, what they want???

Kashmir is Niether Pakistan nor India. It was an independent State.
Now There is no need to argue where it came from. The point here is the future. Kashmiris want freedom from the imperialists. Be it India, Pakistan or China.
It does not matter what these nations want. What matters is the people of Kashmir and their will.
People want freedom and thats what the future is, no matter what.
Now if India leaves Kashmir, Pakistan stops interfering, China diverts its intention, it does not hold any weight. Kashmir must be free from all the oppressors.
