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.

How many child poverty in Pakistan?

Poverty in Pakistan is a growing concern. Although the middle-class has grown in Pakistan, nearly one-quarter of the population is classified poor as of October 2006.[1]. The declining trend in poverty as seen in the country during the 1970s and 1980s was reversed in the 1990s by poor federal policies and rampant corruption.[2] This phenomenon has been referred to as the poverty bomb.[3] The government of Pakistan with help from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has prepared an Interim Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper[4] that suggests guidelines to reduce poverty in the country. As of 2006, Pakistan's Human Development Index (HDI) is 0.539, higher than that of nearby Bangladesh's 0.530, which was formerly a part of the country itself. Pakistan's HDI still stands lower than that of neighbouring India's at 0.611. Incidences of poverty in Pakistan rose from 22-26% in the fiscal year 1991 to 32-35% in the fiscal year 1999. They have subsequently fallen to 25-26% according to the reports of the World Bank and the UN Development Program reports. These reports contradict the claims made by the Government of Pakistan that the poverty rates are only 23.1%.[1] According to estimates by international NGO's, 74% of Pakistan's population, or 122 million people, live under $2 a day, compared to 72.2% for Sub-Saharan Africa.[5], and some 15%, or 30 million people live under $1 a day.[6]Wealth Distribution in Pakistan is highly uneven, with 10% of the population earning 27.6% of income[7]According to the United Nations Human Development Report, Pakistan's human development indicators, especially those for women, fall significantly below those of countries with comparable levels of per-capita income.40% of the population has no access to safe drinking water, and 50% has no access to sanitation. Pakistan also has a higher infant mortality rate (88 per 1000) than the South Asian average (83 per 1000).[8]

Why the India Pakistan war happened?

British used to rule India. When the natives were allowed to have independence in 1947, two states were to be created - one for Muslims and other for Hindus. Many states were Princely states- They were run by local princes and used to give tribute to British Empire. It was let on those princely states to decide whom they want to join or want to be independent. Three states which were contentious were;

1. State of Hyderabad

2. State of Junagarh and Manawar

3. State of Jammuh and Kashmir.

First two states decided to join Pakistan. They were Muslim majority states too but India occupied these. Pakistan was unable to do anything as it was just been created. The third state, the state of Jammuh and Kashmir decided to join India. It was also muslim majority state. The people of that state revolted against this decision.
