Kashmir is India’s territory and will never belong to Pakistan
Context by Compass
The claim that "Kashmir is India’s territory and will never belong to Pakistan" is a simplification of a complex and ongoing territorial dispute between India and Pakistan. The Kashmir conflict dates back to the partition of British India in 1947, which led to the creation of India and Pakistan. Both countries claim the region in full but control only parts of it, divided by the Line of Control (LoC) CFR. The United Nations has called for a plebiscite to allow the people of Kashmir to decide their future, but this has never been implemented Baltimore Sun. The region has been a flashpoint for several wars and skirmishes, with the most recent tensions escalating in 2025 following a deadly attack on Indian tourists, which India attributes to Pakistan-backed militants Al Jazeera. While India maintains that Kashmir is an integral part of its territory, Pakistan views it as a disputed region and seeks its resolution through international mediation. The situation remains volatile, with both nations possessing nuclear capabilities, making the conflict particularly dangerous. Therefore, the assertion that Kashmir will "never belong to Pakistan" is not a definitive statement of fact but rather a reflection of India's current political stance. The future of Kashmir remains uncertain and subject to international diplomatic efforts and negotiations.
