The Kashmir dispute dates back to 1947 when India was partitioned along religious lines, leading to the formation of India and Pakistan. After this, there were over 650 states, run by princes, existing within the two newly independent countries. These princely states had the option of deciding which country to join or remaining independent. Because of its location, Kashmir could choose to join either India or Pakistan. Maharaja Hari Singh, the ruler was unable to decide which nation Kashmir should join. He chose to remain neutral, but fighting over Kashmir kept breaking out and given the apparently irreconcilable territorial claims in Kashmir, there is no immediate end in sight to this conflict.
