Scope The topic Indo-Pak relations even in this limited aspect i.e. conflict and war, is very wide and it had to be curtailed to make it manageable within the time available. The bibliography has been confined to two major open conflicts between the two countries viz. the 1965 and 1971 wars. Further even within this field only books and articles directly relevant to these two conflicts have been included. Material of a more general nature concerning the Indo-Pak relations has been excluded except in so far as necessary for indicating the perspective. iL Keeping in view the scope of the subject area of the topic, a general survey was made to familiarise the writer with various facets to be covered in the bibliography, to make the preliminary selection and to decide the method and scheme of organisation. As a result of the this preliminary study, it was felt that it might be better if attention was concentrated on news papers and news magazines (micro thought) in preference to books (the m^cro thought) as the former constitutes, a primary source material embodying the immediate firsthand reaction to events. This explains the predominance of micro thought in this bibliography. The writer has been forced out of necessity to be highly selective in the choice of material. However notwithstanding this selectivity it has been her sincere endeavour to make the bibliography a valid introduction to the historical scene in which much of the more recent evidence has yet remained lantouched by ur research and analysis. In the etiioice of magazines and news papers attempt was made to cover as eadiaustlvely as possible the views e:q)ressed In Pakistan papers, especially as this other side of the picture Is not generally available* Access to these magazines was not easy. They were available only at a very few libraries and In 1971 after the formal rupture of diplomatic relations, these magazines were not available to even these few Institutions. Because of this non-avallablllty such a source material has not been very adequately covered by bibliographers so far. Besides literature from Pakistan, Items representing views of Big Powers - Russia, DBA, UK and China have been Included. The magazines preferred are those which are recognised as 'opinion foimlng' In the countries of their publication. Authors credentials too have been an Important consideration In making the choice. ff Oa the home front sinilar criteria has been adopted with an additional attempt at covering, different view points esqpressed on the issue. Method of Organisation The abstracts have been made according to I#S.I. Standards (1^^-\'=\t>"'Ck )and Principles laid down by Dr. S.R.Ranganathan (Docmentation). As far as possible attempt has been made to make them short, neutral and objective. The writer has however diverted from the practice prescribed by Dr. Ranganathan to the extent of occasionally quallng the actual words of the author of the article in the abstract. l*hls has been done to mlnlaise the subjective elonent, very real danger indeed in dealing with contemporary history, particularly so if one's own country is Involved. A narrative^has been included to indicate the basis of arrangement and to make the bibliography coherent. At the end of the bibliography a chronology of events covering Indo-Pak relations has also been included. This is to facilitate the reader in this bibliographical search. Once date of particular event is known it becomes easy to locate the relevant news­ papers and news magazines. In the appendices, text of Important resolu­ tions of treaties has been included. Entries have been arranged in a classified order. A depth schedule for this was devised and various feature headings have been obtained through the chain procedure. Index to the schedvile has also been provided. While devising the depth schedule, the writer e:qperienced the difficulty of deciding the citation order of various isolates. This was especially an acute problem with regard to the East Bengal crisis. Whether to have the East ^jmgal crisis under History - India « Pakistan - foreign relations - Etiology or under the History - Pakistan - Internal policy was a matter of serious consideration %Aiich posed much difficulty in expanding the schedule for the bibliography. It was finally decided to treat it as part of Pakistan, NTI internal crisis. Wherever necessary India's in­ evitable involvement h&.s been Indicated with a phase - relation device, Xhe entries have been catalogued according to I.S.I. Standard (ISi 2381-1963). Similarly for the abbreviationsa of the titles of periodicals cited in the bibliography, the practice laid down by IStlHP \'^-V^^C) specification has been observed.

  • India-Pakistan Conflict: Records of the Us State Department, February 1963
    http://gdc.gale.com/archivesunbound/ INDIA-PAKISTAN CONFLICT: RECORDS OF THE U.S. STATE DEPARTMENT, FEBRUARY 1963-1966 Over 16,000 pages of State Department Central Files on India and Pakistan from 1963 through 1966 make this collection a standard documentary resource for the study of the political relations between India and Pakistan during a crucial period in the Cold War and the shifting alliances and alignments in South Asia. Date Range: 1963-1966 Content: 15,387 images Source Library: U.S. National Archives Detailed Description: Relations with Pakistan have demanded a high proportion of India’s international energies and undoubtedly will continue to do so. India and Pakistan have divergent national ideologies and have been unable to establish a mutually acceptable power equation in South Asia. The national ideologies of pluralism, democracy, and secularism for India and of Islam for Pakistan grew out of the pre-independence struggle between the Congress and the All-India Muslim League, and in the early 1990s the line between domestic and foreign politics in India’s relations with Pakistan remained blurred. Because great-power competition—between the United States and the Soviet Union and between the Soviet Union and China—became intertwined with the conflicts between India and Pakistan, India was unable to attain its goal of insulating South Asia from global rivalries. This superpower involvement enabled Pakistan to use external force in the face of India’s superior endowments of population and resources. The most difficult problem in relations between India and Pakistan since partition in August 1947 has been their dispute over Kashmir.

Following partition, princely states were left to choose whether to join India or Pakistan or to remain independent. Jammu and Kashmir, the largest of the princely states, had a majority Muslim population and significant fraction of Hindu population, all ruled by the Hindu Maharaja Hari Singh.

  • Simla Agreement July 2, 1972
    Simla Agreement July 2, 1972 July 02, 1972 The Simla Agreement signed by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and President Zulfikar Ali Bhutto of Pakistan on 2nd July 1972 was much more than a peace treaty seeking to reverse the consequences of the 1971 war (i.e. to bring about withdrawals of troops and an exchange of PoWs). It was a comprehensive blue print for good neighbourly relations between India and Pakistan. Under the Simla Agreement both countries undertook to abjure conflict and confrontation which had marred relations in the past, and to work towards the establishment of durable peace, friendship and cooperation. The Simla Agreement contains a set of guiding principles, mutually agreed to by India and Pakistan, which both sides would adhere to while managing relations with each other. These emphasize: respect for each other’s territorial integrity and sovereignty; non- interference in each other’s internal affairs; respect for each others unity, political independence; sovereign equality; and abjuring hostile propaganda. The following principles of the Agreement are, however, particularly noteworthy: A mutual commitment to the peaceful resolution of all issues through direct bilateral approaches. To build the foundations of a cooperative relationship with special focus on people to people contacts. To uphold the inviolability of the Line of Control in Jammu and Kashmir, which is a most important CBM between India and Pakistan, and a key to durable peace. India has faithfully observed the Simla Agreement in the conduct of its relations with Pakistan.

  • India's Wars: the Indo-Pakistani Wars and the India-China Border Conflict
    India’s Wars: The Indo-Pakistani Wars and the India-China Border Conflict Takenori Horimoto Since India gained its independence in 1947, it has waged four wars intermittently by the 1970s against Pakistan (Indo-Pakistani Wars) and China (the India-China War). While all of these wars were caused by territorial disputes, the termination of the wars was largely influenced by internal factors as well as the contemporary international situation on each occasion. I. Indo-Pakistani Wars 1. The Kashmir dispute as a root cause of the Indo-Pakistani Wars The Kashmir dispute was the root cause of the Indo-Pakistani Wars. The map below shows all of South Asia (inset) and Kashmir. Pakistan and India in the maps were formerly integrated and made up British India. Kashmir was also a part of British India, and a “princely state” ruled by the Maharaja. Although the Maharaja was Hindu, about three-fifths of the population of the princely state was Muslim (followers of Islam). The difference in religion between the Maharaja and the population was the starting point of the Kashmir dispute, and remains so to the present.1 India and Pakistan were respectively founded by being partitioned and gaining independence from British India in August 1947. When being partitioned and gaining their independence, the territory was divided into India, which was predominantly Hindu, and Pakistan, which was predominantly Muslim. As a result, Pakistan consisted of East and West Pakistan, where many Muslims lived. In the case of Kashmir, the Maharaja was granted a degree of authority to decide whether to belong to India or Pakistan.

Alive and Kicking: The Kashmir Dispute Forty Years Later I. Introduction The Kashmir dispute between India and Pakistan involves a struggle between two powers for the possession of a tract of territory which each wants for its own valid reasons. The stakes are of major economic, political and strategic significance to Pakistan, while to India, Kashmir has become a symbol of national prestige and inter- national justice.1 Charges of aggression and violations of interna- tional law have been asserted by both parties. In considering a solu- tion to the Kashmir dispute, it is necessary to look beyond the blatant facts and see the elements that gave rise to the dispute and the circumstances under which it occurred. A purely legalistic approach never solves large political problems. With this in mind, this Comment begins with an examina- tion of the roots of the conflict: Kashmir's economy, geography, predominantly Moslem population and Hindu ruler.
