Who started fight for kashmir?
"Jammu & Kashmir in the year 1947 was an independent country for all practical purposes. The Maharaja who ruled the State had signed agreements with both Pakistan and India to remain neutral and not be part of either country. India honoured that agreement but Pakistan did not. Pakistani raiders and soldiers attacked the state in 1947 forcing the Maharaja to flee to India"
What was the history of Pakistan and India with kashmir?
India gave a Prince a piece of the country, which was very beautiful, for him to have his palace and rule. It was passed down for generations and then they died out. Pakistanis live here and so do Indians. It followed many Indian traditions and teachings even though Pakistanis lived here too. It kind of broke into a fight to see which country it should belong to- Pakistan (with the major religion in Kashmir) or India (who previously owned it). They decided to have a vote. Pakistan needed a lake there to survive but, some thought it was India's now. The vote was coming up but- Pakistan attacked. They went into a city in India and terrorized it for the land. This cancelled the voting and we still don't know who the land belongs to. What country do you think it should be?
How kashmir issue is a hindrance between relation of Pakistan and India?
Apart from other historical and political issues between India and Pakistan, Kashmir India Conflicts form the foremost basis of unfriendly relations between the two nations. Pakistan maintains the Kashmiris right for self determination and wants to hold a plebiscite but India on the other hand insists that with Maharaja's signing of the Instrument of Accession Kashmir belong to India, and on these basis there is no need to hold a plebiscite. Moreover in the sixty years, a number of free and fair elections have been conducted in Kashmir and in those elections no separatist or secessionist has been elected which shows that Indian people want to have Indian authority, as declared by India.Many wars are fought between India and Pakistan. Among other issues, Kashmir India Conflict was one of the major reasons for this war. The hostile relations between India and Pakistan speeded up when Pakistan started the Operation Gibraltar which was designated to speed up a state of insurgency in Kashmir against the Indian rule and resulted in 1965 Indo Pak war. For five weeks the rebellion was fought between the nations and resulted in thousands of casualties. Relations between India and Pakistan further worsen when Kargil war occurred. During the winter months of 1998-98, the Indian army moves downhill from the very high peaks of Kargil sector in Kashmir. Pakistani Army, taking the advantage of their position, moved across the Line of Control and occupied the empty posts. When snow melted, Indian army came to know this, and resulted in an intense fight between India and Pakistan. This is known as the Kargil Conflict.Apart from wars related to Kashmir India Conflicts, other territorial disputes are also between India and Pakistan, such as the Siachen Glacier and the Kori Creek. Pakistan is also involved in talks with India over the issue of construction of a Dam over the Chenab river of Jammu and Kashmir. According to some reports of Council of Foreign Relations, some Pakistani groups have provided assistance to terrorist groups active in Kashmir against Indians. They have their headquarters in Pakistani Administered Kashmir. On October 1, 2001, a car bomb exploded near the Jammu and Kashmir State Assembly killing almost 27 people. Later investigations revealed that Pakistan was solely responsible for this insurgent attack. On the other hand, Pakistan claims that Indian intelligence agency RAW is creating insurgency in Pakistan.In 2004, Pakistani President Pervaiz Musharraf and Indian Prime Minister Atal Behari Vajpayee agreed to normalize the relations between two countries and to solve the Kashmir problem. Kashmir India Conflict has been a cause of two wars and between the two nations in the last 60 years. There has been a little progress since then to strengthen the friendly relations between two nations. President Pervaiz Musharraf has declared that it is not possible to discuss trade and other subjects with India unless the core issue of dispute i.e. Kashmir is not discussed.

What was the kashmir problem?
From the partition to this day major disputes between Pakistan and India are common.One of the major disputes which is unsolved till this day is the Kashmir issue.Before the partition many semi autonomous states had to decide to join India or Pakistan.Many small states had no problem choosing the country but big states like Junagadh Hyderabad and Kashmir.Kashmir could easily come and join Pakistan but Harri singh the ruler was the Hindu and wouldn't let the majority Muslims to join Pakistan.Harri singhs government was effectively overthrown and asked India for help.India agreed provided that he signed the instrument of accession which would make Kashmir a part of India.However condition of accession was that a rule would be held for all Kashmirs to make final choose.India didn't agree. Till this day this dispute is still unsolved,
What was the problem.?
In 1947, when the British granted India its independence, Mohammed Ali Jinnah wanted a separate country for Muslim majority ares of India. So the erstwhile British Empire of India was split into West Paksitan, India and East Pakistan. There were around five hundred princely states in India that were given the choice of joining the Paksitani union or the Indian union. Kashmir was ruled by a Hindu King of the dogra dynasty, and was given a choice to join either state. While he was dithering between joining India or becoming an independent country, the Pakistani army attacked Kashmir from the west, thinking it would be a quick battle. But the King of Kashmir asked India for help. India agreed to help on the condition that Kashmir would be part of the Indian Republic. The king hastily signed a document agreeing to join the union of India. The Pakistanis felt that he had no right to do that since the majority of his subjects were Muslim and would have sided with Pakistan and appealed to the international community to restore Kashmir to Pakistan, or let the people have their say. However, in the eyes of the world, Pakistan had forfeited any moral high ground because of their treacherous attack on an unguarded kingdom. So though they tried hard to get the United Nations involved later, they never mustered any international backing to their cause. IT left them feeling bitter and frustrated and they felt the whole world was against them and had unfairly sided with India. After the 1947 war, India controlled the best parts of the Kashmir valley (Jammu and Kashmir) and Pakistan occupied the rest, which is mostly uninhabitable. The recent devastating earthquakes in 2006 were almost entirely on the Pakistani side of Kashmir. Pakistan's founding politicians were so bitter that they swore a 'thousand year struggle' to get Kashmir 'back' from the Indians. Though, in the intervening sixty years, most Pakistanis have lost any hope of getting it 'back', and also have lost all fervor to get Kashmir to join Pakistan, no politician can openly say it is time they gave up and moved on. It is analogous to the US-Cuba situation. But in case of Paksitan the cost of this unending quarrel with India is enormous. They are forced to invest horrendous amounts of money in a fight with an enemy who is many times larger in terms of population, many times larger in terms of land and has grown into an economic powerhouse many times larger than Paksitan. In their desperation to harm India the Pakistani military tried twice to invade India (1965 and 1999) and was beaten back. This obsession with Kashmir and India has had serious and crippling consequenses to Pakistan's democracy. Military coups became a common place in Pakistan and democratically elected rulers were murdered, or usurped and put in prison by the military generals. The military became the dominanat institution in the country and destroyed democratic institutions and encouraged religious fanaticism. In 1971, to add insult to injury East Pakistan broke away from West Pakistan to become Bangladesh. In the ensuing years, Paksitanis have invested Billions in a nuclear bomb, untold amounts in a vast Military machine and also spawned various 'Jihad' outfits which have come back to haunt Pakistan in the form of uncontrolled domestic terrorism. The western countries try to get the Kashmir issue solved in the hope that Pakistan will then focus on the terrorists that have made Pakistan their home. But the hatred of Hindus runs deep in the Pakistani establishment and there is no end in sight to this issue.

How did the cold war affect Pakistan?
Pakistan did not exist as a country before WW2 as it was part of India and ruled by Britain. After WW2 Britain started to lose empire and India gained independence and Pakistan was formed. So it can be argued WW2 was of great benefit to Pakistan
