Turbulent Kashmir: Unresolved issue of the Partition Poonam Chandel Department of Political Science Government College Sanjauli,(Center of Excellence),Shimla The 200 year long British rule came to an end on August 15,1947with the Partition of India into two nations, namely Pakistan and India. It was a violent separation of communities who had lived together for generations. This tragic divide claimed thousands of lives, displaced millions and left behind it the legacy of the disputed Kashmir issue, which is still unresolved. Because of this dispute the two countries are spending huge sums of money on arms and this phenomenon has greatly affected the economic development of both the countries. Insurgency and terrorism fuelled by Pakistan to create instability in the region to pressurize India for Kashmir’s merger with Pakistan has it roots in the great divide of 1947. In this contest the quest of the paper would be to find out the factors which led to and widened this devastating divide and to explore ways and possible solutions to the Kashmir dispute, for lasting peace in the region and better relations between India and Pakistan.
