Kashmir: What are India and Pakistan doing?
India and Pakistan have already played two rounds in Kashmir. But how many people remember what it is for?The bomb attack on the Indian military camp on February 14, 2019, was the most casualty in the past 30 years.
In 1947, India and Pakistan did not separate from the British Empire. Kashmir was a place with a strong smell of gunpowder. According to the Indian Independence Act, Kashmir can choose to belong to India or Pakistan.
At that time, the ruler of Kashmir, Harry Singh, decided to belong to India. The war broke out in 1947 and lasted for two years.
In 1965, the second war broke out. In 1999, the armed forces supported by India and Pakistan exchanged fire briefly.
At that time, India and Pakistan had claimed to possess nuclear weapons.
Many people in Kashmir do not want to accept Indian rule but want to be independent or merge into Pakistan.

Political turmoil
Many people in Kashmir do not want to accept Indian rule but want to be independent or merge into Pakistan.60% of the population of the two states under the jurisdiction of India are Muslims, the majority. This is unique in all states of India.
Unemployment rates remain high, public protests are suppressed by military and police, and rebel forces and armed forces have armed conflicts, which have exacerbated the situation.
Since 1989, the armed rebellion in the Kashmir Indian territory has been on the rise. A new wave of violence emerged in July 2016, when the 22-year-old rebel leader, Vanni, was shot dead in a crossfire with the military and police, causing massive protests. Vani was good at using social media before, and he was quite popular among young people. He was widely believed to have revived the local rebel forces and legalized the rebel forces.
Vanni’s funeral attracted countless mourners. After the funeral, they broke out with the army. The violence lasted for several days. More than 30 civilians were killed and many were injured. Since then, local violence has escalated.
In 2018, more than 500 people were killed in the conflict, including military police, civilians and rebel members.

How big is peace hope?
India and Pakistan signed a ceasefire agreement in 2003 and decided to end the years of bloody disputes near the control line.Pakistan later promised to stop providing funding to the rebel forces in the Indian territories, and India agreed to pardon them on condition that they gave up their arms.
By 2014, the new Indian government has taken office and has become tough on Pakistan, but is still willing to hold Kashmir peace talks. At that time, Pakistani Prime Minister Sharif even went to Delhi to attend the inauguration ceremony of Indian Prime Minister Modi.
However, the situation has suddenly changed a year later. India accused the armed forces of the Pakistani side of attacking the air base in Punjab in northern India. Prime Minister Modi canceled his trip to Islamabad in 2017 to participate in the regional summit. Since then, the India-Pakistan negotiations have stalled.

Going back to the starting point?
In 2016, Kashmiri’s people in the Indo-Zhong area protested against the suppression of force, which made the bleak hope for lasting peace even more embarrassing. In June 2018, the party of Indian Prime Minister Modi retired from the Indian ruling coalition, which led to the direct control of the Kashmir Indian territory, and the locals were even angrier.Soon it is now, on February 14, 2019, a suicide attack put an end to the last hope of the thawing of relations between the two countries. India believes that armed forces in Pakistan have attacked the Indian garrison in Kashmir, killing more than 40 Indian soldiers, the bloodiest since 1989.
India has vowed to take all possible diplomatic steps to encourage Pakistan in the international community.
On February 26, India launched an airstrike in the territory of Pakistan, claiming that the target was Pakistan’s military base.
Pakistan said that the air strikes in India did not cause major casualties and losses, but Pakistan must fight back.
At this point, the war is on the verge.
On February 27, Pakistan announced that it had shot down two Indian Air Force planes entering Pakistani airspace, and an Indian Air Force officer was captured. The Pakistan Air Force also attacked targets in India. The following day, Pakistan stated that it would return the prisoners to India on March 1 to release the signal of hope for peace.
