Kashmir remains a contentious issue for India and Pakistan from "summary" of The History of India by Mountstuart Elphinstone (Hon.)

The region of Kashmir has long been a source of conflict between India and Pakistan. Both countries claim the territory as their own, leading to ongoing tensions and disputes. The issue dates back to the partition of British India in 1947, when the princely states were given the choice to join either India or Pakistan. The Maharaja of Kashmir chose to accede to India, leading to a war between India and Pakistan. The conflict resulted in the division of Kashmir, with one part controlled by India and the other by Pakistan. This division has been a point of contention ever since, with both countries unwilling to compromise on their claims to the region. The dispute over Kashmir has led to multiple wars between India and Pakistan, as well as ongoing violence and unrest in the region. Both countries have made attempts to resolve the issue through diplomacy, but have so far been unsuccessful in reaching a lasting solution. The people of Kashmir have also been caught in the middle of this conflict, with many Kashmiris seeking independence or autonomy from both India and Pakistan. The region has seen widespread human rights abuses, as well as a heavy military presence from both countries. As a result, Kashmir remains a deeply divisive issue for India and Pakistan, with no end to the conflict in sight. The ongoing dispute over the region continues to be a major source of tension between the two countries, with both sides unwilling to back down from their claims.
