Kashmir is one of the most beautiful and tourist attraction places in all around the world. Kashmir is a Muslim state but unfortunately India Army has a full control (with the use of Force) in this beautiful place.
Kashmirs people wanted to attach their states with Pakistan but India did not like this. The Kashmir dispute is the oldest unresolved international dispute in the world today. India’s forcible occupation of the State of Jammu and Kashmir in 1947 is the main cause of the dispute.
India claims to have ‘signed’ a controversial document, the Instrument of Accession, on 26 October 1947 with the Maharaja of Kashmir, in which the Maharaja obtained India’s military help against popular insurgency. The people of Kashmir and Pakistan do not accept the Indian claim and more that, The United Nations also does not consider Indian claim as legally valid.
Kashmir Solidarity Day has been celebrated on 5 February each year since 1990 as a day of protest against Indian control of part of Kashmir. Kashmir day (5, February) is a national holiday in Pakistan.
