The study pursues two research questions; is the coverage of these newspaper war or peace- oriented, and do they report Kashmir Conflict through Two-Party (Pak-India) or Multi- Party lenses. For data sources, seven major recent events; Burhan Wani’s killing (2016), Uri Attack, Indian Surgical Strikes, Pulwama Attack, Balakot Airstrike, and Abhi Nandan’s Capture and Release (2019) were chosen. A total of 56 stories, one lead story and one editorial from each newspaper about every event, were collected. Each story was evaluated according to Galtung’s 19 indicators; nine War, nine Peace and one Neutral, and accordingly categorized. The analysis revealed that DAWN had the highest (46.15%) peace-oriented coverage while The HINDU was second with only 23% peace content. In the war category, The Nation scored the highest (100%) while the Times of India was found second (92.85%). No story could qualify for the neutral category. Overall, the coverage of these newspapers was found grossly (81.13%) war- oriented.

    Aslam, Iqbal, & Hussain Internal & External Dynamics of Gilgit-Baltistan INTERNAL & EXTERNAL DYNAMICS OF GILGIT-BALTISTAN: PROSPECTS AND CHALLENGES FOR CHINA PAKISTAN ECONOMIC CORRIDOR Fawad Aslam,1 Khuram Iqbal,2 & Mujahid Hussain3 Abstract: The China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) is presently a subject of geopolitical and regional security discourse. Gilgit-Baltistan is at a crossroads of the CPEC project due to its strategic importance. However, this region has received global attention due to an international territorial dispute over Kashmir with India, undeclared constitutional status, and sectarian conflicts that plunged this region into a conflict zone. To examine the ambiguity of the constitutional status of Gilgit- Baltistan and the presence of infrastructural changes in the region, the researchers adopted the Process Tracking method which proposes a hypothesized causal mechanism and pays attention to changes that have taken place over time. This study finds out how the sectarian, religious, and nationalist dynamics of Gilgit-Baltistan and Kashmir as a strategic constraint of the government of Pakistan for the legal status of Gilgit-Baltistan? It also discusses growing Chinese interest, particularly the CPEC, and Indian coercive response to this project, accentuate the Pakistani government to deal with the Gilgit-Baltistan constitutional complaints. The study concludes that constitutional status effects the region's ability to participate in and benefit from CPEC. Key Words: CPEC, constitutional status, Gilgit-Baltistan, Pulwama, sectarianism, geopolitics. INTRODUCTION Gilgit-Baltistan is at a crossroads of the CPEC project due to its strategic location. Gilgit-Baltistan is considered as Northern Gwadar of Pakistan, located between the border of Indian Kashmir to the southeast, Xinjiang province of China to the east and northeast, and the Wakhan Corridor of Afghanistan to the north and connecting Pakistan with another province through the west of Khayber Pakhtunkhwa.

India’s focus on connectivity is also gradually extending outward, whether to Chabahar in Iran or Kaladan in Myanmar. India has also expressed its willingness to develop issue-specific groupings that are not held hostage to consensus. For example Bangladesh-Bhutan-India-Nepal (BBIN) grouping – meant to advance motor vehicle movement, water power management, and inter- grid connectivity With respect to all of its neighbours, including Nepal, India has taken concrete steps over the past two years to promote goodwill and deepen economic and social connectivity Terrorism emanating against India by entities based in neighbourhood and supported by elements of the state remains a top priority.

As both countries share a common passion – films and music can bridge the difference between the two.”1 In a more recent interview from May 2016, Zafar reflects on the unprecedented success of his career in India, celebrating his work in cinema as groundbreaking and forecasting a bright future for Indo-Pak collaborations in entertainment and culture.2 His optimism is signaled by a wish to reach an even larger global fan base, as he mentions his dream of working in Hollywood and joining other Indian émigré stars like Priyanka Chopra.

It was in 1989 when the insurgency was born, as an indigenous movement against the corrupt governance. Kashmir has become a conflict zone between India and Pakistan; that escalated them into three wars and several other armed skirmishes. The political turmoil has ruined the state, and has forced New Delhi to notify the erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K) as a “disturbed area” and invoke controversial and draconian laws like the Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA) to maintain peace. Though New Delhi tried to occasionally reach out to Pakistan and even to Kashmir’s over the years, but for some brief periods of hope, peace has not prevailed in the Kashmir Valley Key words:- Political Turmoil India Pakistan, Dispute, Kashmir Introduction Kashmir valley is known as the paradise on the EARTH, not only because of its topography or the bounty of beautiful landscapes but also due to the existence of harmony and cordial relationships between the people of various sections and religions with least or no room for the differences on the basis of castes, colour or religion.
