Kashmir Conflict Management: Illusional and Delusional Predicaments

Abstract

On world stage, Kashmir is the territorial, ethnic, religious and water conflict. It is a multidimensional conflict which is described by a complicated crisscrossing of a global issue with sources of conflict inside the disputed territory and its Pakistan-India administered areas. Any attitude to managing this multi-faceted conflict must essentially involve multiple, but interlinked and jointly shore up, paths or hatchet of amalgamation and dialogue. Kashmir has been the age back unresolved issue on the planet since many decades. This paper suggests a pragmatic mean to an end for the management of Kashmir conflict. First of all, prioritizing the conflict management suggested with a consensus on the both sides of the border but preferable by Pakistan under new government of Imran Khan. Pakistan’s parliamentary Committee for Kashmir’s role needs to be reviewed thoroughly. The plan is comprised of an apolitical executive council include members from Kashmir, Pakistan and India. Interestingly the Council supposes to have members from the academia of the concerned stake holders instead of from political parties. The council will work under the auspices of the United Nations (UN) for next ten years and would give its recommendations in the best interests of humanity. The parliamentary committees on Kashmir issue of both sides would remain intact for the guidance of academia regarding the formal and legal aspects of Kashmir case. Since, the illusional and delusional gestures kept Pakistani and Indian so called political elite in a dilemma not to consider this issue solemnly. This is call of the day to resolve this issue once for all.
