This may be an over simplification of the problem that has been plaguing India-Pakistan relations and challenging the tranquility within Jammu and Kashmir for decades but there is one process which is pointer to the growing public sentiment for normalizing relations and enhancing Icontacts across the divides. Politics plays at different levels. In Kashmir, anything which ignores the proverbial core issue is opposed strongly. Contacts across LoC offer healing touch to hundreds and thousands of those suffering the wounds of separation from the dear ones for decades but the process does not address the core issue. So what should be done? Do what is doable in these circumstances or keep the reunion hostage to politics? The former is more plausible. As a result of sustained dialogue and as compliment to the public mood, India and Pakistan launched cross LoC bus service between Srinagar and Muzaffarabad in April 2005 and later extended the service between Poonch and Rawalakote in 2006. In 2008 JUNE 2008 Cross-LoC trade was launched simultaneously on both routes. Though both The process of Cross-LoC interactions initiatives were described as major confidence building measures but should be taken beyond limited travel actually these were thrown as challenges on the people of Jammu and and symbolic trade. Cooperation in Kashmir on both sides of divide. Crossing the divide has never been as easy tourism, education and healthcare are as said. One has to put in an application, wait for three to 18 months and go the other possibilities which should be through a range of hurdles before being able to board the Cross-LoC bus explored service. Over 20,000 applications are still pending. In case of trade, scenario is even worst. No infrastructure, no banking, no courier, no telephone, no currency exchange and still there is trade which is going up by every passing week. By every passing week people are trying to send a loud and clear message to the government on both sides that they are against the divides and they want the lines blurred. Is there anyone taking this message? As far as the public involvement and eagerness to transcend the barriers is concerned, the process of Cross-LoC interactions should be taken beyond limited travel and symbolic trade. Cooperation in tourism, education and healthcare are the other possibilities which should be explored. Reflecting upon the popular sentiment, the civil society groups and conflict transformation organizations are already pushing for cooperation in these areas. Governments in New Delhi and Islamabad must take this message seriously.

  • Conflict Transformation in Kashmir-III
    Journal of Peace Studies, Vol. 12, Issue 4, October-December 2005 Conflict Transformation in Kashmir-III Riyaz Punjabi* [*Professor Riyaz Punjabi is President (Hony.), International Centre for Peace Studies, New Delhi. He teaches in the Centre for the Study of Social Systems, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India.] In the last two parts of this ongoing study, an attempt was made to look inward to locate the roots of the conflict within the J&K state. The study also looked at the political developments which laid an impact on the stateÊs relations with the Union of India. However, the conflict in Kashmir has external linkages too. The present analysis shall deal with the external aspect of the conflict in Kashmir. Backdrop Pakistan has been claiming Kashmir on the basis of ÂTwo NationÊ theory in which the sub-continent was divided on religious lines and the State of Pakistan was created. The Pakistani scholars claim that gradually Kashmir got intertwined in the strategic and defense doctrine of Pakistan. However, this approach ignores the legal arrangements which were evolved to demarcate the boundaries between India and Pakistan as a consequence of the accord to divide the sub-continent on religious lines. That a formula was also devised for the Princely states which were not under the direct control of British government to accede to the either dominion is not taken into cognisance. This approach equally ignores the political developments in J&K state between1940 when Pakistan resolution was adopted by the Muslim League and the 1947 when Pakistan was actually created. It may be mentioned here that Kashmir was not a party to the ÂTwo NationÊ theory advocated by Muslim League.

  • Deepening Tragedy
    Deepening tragedy SHOWKAT A. MOTTA Print edition : Mehbooba Mufti at the press conference in Srinagar on June 19 where she announced her government’s resignation afte Bharatiya Janata Party pulled out of the ruling coalition. The BJP pulls out of the ruling alliance and brings down the government in Jammu and Kashmir in a move made with the Lok Sabha elections in mind even as the State sinks into greater depths of violence and militancy. Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Amit Shah has demonstrated a ruthless streak ever since he arrived in New Delhi. He has broken political alliances in States from outside (Bihar), staked a claim to government without a legislative majority (Goa, Meghalaya), and won in some States by poaching other parties’ leaders (Nagaland). He played the “Hindu card” to achieve a last-minute win in his home State (Gujarat), and has taken on established parties through the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) by portraying RSS workers killed by activists of the opposition as “martyrs” (Kerala), and encouraged inghting in two other State parties (West Bengal). Jammu and Kashmir remained relatively distant from Shah’s Machiavellianism until June 19, when he pulled the rug from under the feet of Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti and brought down the three-and-half- year-old coalition government in the most volatile State of India. Long before the BJP’s sudden announcement of withdrawal from the alliance, however, the daggers were drawn within the forced political marriage between the BJP and the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). The two parties, which had overzealously campaigned against each other right until the end of the 2014 Assembly elections in Jammu and Kashmir, were bound to cut loose, sooner or later.

  • Title: Reported News About the Increase in Cases of Human Rights Violation in Jammu & Kashmir
    nt> Title: Reported news about the increase in cases of Human Rights violation in Jammu & Kashmir. SHRI OMAR ABDULLAH (SRINAGAR): Mr. Speaker, Sir, through you, I want to draw the attention of the Government to a pressing problem in the State of Jammu and Kashmir. Often, in the fight against terrorism, we hear statements being used about 'winning the hearts and minds of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, providing them with a healing touch, and making them feel that they are a part of this country'. But unfortunately, it seems, in the past year, we have failed miserably in winning the hearts and the minds of the people and in providing them with a healing touch. I would like to draw the attention of this Government to a newspaper article, a copy of which I have circulated with my notice, which details just how badly we are losing this fight for 'winning the hearts and minds of the people'. The position of human rights is the worst in the last seven years. I would like to quote some figures for this Government. These are not the figures that I am providing, but these are the figures provided by the State's Human Rights Commission, which details 29 cases of custodial killing, 82 cases of disappearances, 65 cases of harassment, and numerous other cases. Totally, 672 cases of human rights violations have been recorded with the State's Human Rights Commission, between April 2003 and June 2004. This is against only 51 cases in the year 1998-99. Through you, Sir, I would like to request the Government to take a long, hard look at the position of human rights in Jammu and Kashmir, to strengthen the mechanism of human rights protection, and to ensure that incidents like this do not take place.

  • Background to the Kashmir Conflict: Challenges and Opportunities
    Background to the Kashmir conflict: challenges and opportunities Kashmir Initiative Group This paper is the first in a series from the Kashmir Initiative Group (KIG). It provides background on the Kashmir context; four upcoming policy briefs will be launched over the next year. The paper reflects on the current landscape in the region and the opportunities and challenges for a dialogue process. The policy briefs will each focus on a particular issue – confidence building measures (CBMs), trade across the Line of Control (LoC), the withdrawal of NATO-led forces from Afghanistan, and youth engagement – to provide more in-depth analysis and practical policy recommendations. Introduction Efforts to peacefully resolve the long-standing led forces, ISAF (International Security Assistance dispute between India and Pakistan over Kashmir Force), from Afghanistan in 2014 could present have so far been unsuccessful.
