Kashmir Dispute

A Kashmiri Perspective - Kashmiri Struggle Transformed in to Jihad, Terrorism and a Proxy War

By: Dr Shabir Choudhry

Kashmir dispute has to be seen as human issue, and not as a territorial gain, or a strategic advantage. Like anyone else, I have no solution to this dispute that could be acceptable to all concerned, but I know what is not workable and what will not provide much desired peace and stability in the region: and that is division of the State or its accession to any country. Kashmir dispute should not be used to settle score of the past tragedies or past adventures, for example, to avenge problems of 1965, 1971, 1980s, proxy war or Kargil adventure. Also Kashmir should not be used as a battleground for competing political and religious ideologies, as it is happening on both sides of the divide. Jammu and Kashmir is a multi-religious and multi ethnic former Princely State. All citizens of Jammu and Kashmir - Pundits, Sikhs, Buddhists, Shias, Ismahilies, pro Pakistan, pro India and pro- independence, and others must have equal rights; and we must not target any community for their beliefs. We must put the past behind us and make a new start by inviting pundits and others who were uprooted from their homes because of political, communal and armed conflict back in to their homes and compensate their losses. We must build bridges of confidence and make sincere endeavours to eradicate extremism, violence, religious intolerance and hatred. However, if these war mongers and fanatics are not brought under control then my fear is that they will endanger peace, stability and future of the entire region. So time is running out, and those in position to take appropriate action, must act and act soon.

Tribal Invasion and Kashmir

Pakistani Attempts to Capture Kashmir in 1947, Division of Kashmir and Terrorism

By: Dr Shabir Choudhry

The Tribal Invasion was a contentious and significant action, because of its serious consequences; and because it clearly violated the Standstill Agreement concluded between Pakistan and the Ruler of Jammu and Kashmir. Furthermore, it resulted in death and destruction of thousands of innocent people; and it forced the Maharaja of Jammu and Kashmir to seek help from India, which was only made available after the provisional accession to India. Apart from that it divided our motherland resulting in enormous problems for thousands of families on both sides of the divide. It should also be remembered that the Tribal Invasion, apart from other problems also resulted in the first India and Pakistan war, bringing its own problems, animosity and divisions. Both governments since 1947 have spent billions of dollars on arms and have had three wars over control of Jammu and Kashmir. Both governments have enormous problems related to poverty, education and welfare; but because of the competition to control Jammu and Kashmir, they continue to divert money for military preparedness and continue to develop more and more lethal weapons.

Jammu and Kashmir, Chinese and Pakistani Designs

Our Struggle Is to Empower People, Oppose Extremism, and Violence

By: Dr Shabir Choudhry

Vast number of Pakistanis are brainwashed into believing that their army is the number one army in the world, exceptionally courageous, patriotic and invincible. Also they believe that their prime secret agency, Inter Service Intelligence, is number one in the world, and that other secret agencies and countries are afraid of Pakistan. These Pakistanis also believe that their nuclear bombs, including tactical nuclear devices, and the delivery system and other missile systems are unique and best in the world. They believe that even in a conventional war, the Pakistan army will surprise everyone, and they will capture Jammu and Kashmir and could possibly hoist a Pakistani flag on the Red Fort. I had a difficult conversation with one middle ranking officer of the Pakistan army. He angrily said: ‘We are not afraid of India. We are smaller than India. We have less resources, but we are better fighters, more committed and are capable of defeating India; and don’t give me an example of 1971. It was a political defeat. We are a totally different army now, highly trained and disciplined. We are a battle hardened army with strong dedication, religious fervour and patriotism. In the next round of war we will surprise India and other adversaries. There must be a reason why people regard us as the best army in the world’.

Kashmir Dispute Terrorism and Pakistan

By: Dr Shabir Choudhry

The Muslim League, a party which championed the cause of Paksitan was set up on 28 December 1906 in Dhaka, with the following objectives: 1. To promote among Muslims a feeling of loyalty to the British government and to remove misunderstandings; 2. To protect and advance the political rights and interests of Muslims, and to represent properly their needs and aspirations to the British government; and 3. To prevent the rise of hostility among Muslims toward other communities. The Muslim League and the rulers of Pakistan, to date, have very sincerely served the British and the American interests in Pakistan and in the region. The bitter fact is that the landed aristocracy, the Generals and the security forces now control Pakistan and its destiny; and sad thing is even they dont know what is the destiny of this unfortunate country and how to reach there. When the British Raj ended in India on 15 August 1947, the State of Jammu and Kashmir also gained its independence. The Government of Pakistan acknowledged this fact by entering a Standstill Agreement with the Ruler of Jammu and Kashmir. Pakistan violated the Agreement and attacked Jammu and Kashmir on 22 October 1947.

Economic Growth or a Debt Trap for Pakistan

Cpec Can Be a Mega Disaster for Pakistan

By: Dr. Shabir Choudhry

With the CPEC, Pakistan may have a new infrastructure on its land, but it is for the Chinese goods and lorries; and to advance the Chinese global agenda. Aim of the CPEC is not to empower Pakistan and its people. In view of many Pakistanis, this new relationship is not an economic partnership with China. It is a new form of colonialism, but if the Pakistani ruling elite, and people of Pakistan are happy with this new relationship then no one from outside can help them.

Legal Status of Jammu and Kashmir

Realisation of Bitter Facts

By: Dr. Shabir Choudhry

Even after 73 years of division of the British India, still there is confusion and controversy on legal status of the former Princely State of Jammu and Kashmir. In light of legal documents, I have endeavoured to establish the exact legal position of Jammu and Kashmir. Apart from that the UN Security Council Resolutions on Jammu and Kashmir dispute are analysed; and why they could not be implemented. Which country refused to implement them or created hurdles. After the Simla Agreement and the Lahore Declaration, can these Resolutions play any role in resolution of the dispute. Also, I have analysed Article 370 and 35A of the Indian constitution, and how India disregarded the pledges made to the people of Jammu and Kashmir; and unilaterally changed the status of Jammu and Kashmir. In addition, I have analysed the role of Pakistan, and how they betrayed people of Jammu and Kashmir to satisfy their imperial agenda. Furthermore, how Pakistan is promoting extremism, terrorism, intolerance and religious hatred in Jammu and Kashmir; and how it is hurting people of Jammu and Kashmir on both sides of the divide. Besides that, I have analysed the impact of these changes on the people of Jammu and Kashmir, and how they have responded. What people of Jammu and Kashmir should do when they are forcibly divided, and when their motherland is under control of three nuclear countries, namely India, Pakistan and China.

Kashmir Dispute, Pakistan and the Un Resolutions

By: Dr Shabir Choudhry

It is almost a ritual that the new army chief of Pakistan gives a strong statement against India to assure his people that he is also a brave soldier and is fully prepared to take on India. However, the new army chief of Pakistan, General Qamar Javed Bajwa, in his statement sent two messages. While speaking to his soldiers about line of control violations during a visit to the X Corps Rawalpindi, he said, Each violation of any kind must be responded to with full force in the most effective manner. After assuring his countrymen that he will also be tough with India, he, to the surprise of some, also sent a peace message when he said, The situation at the line of control will hopefully improve soon.

Is Cpec Economic Corridor or a Strategic Game Plan?

By: Dr Shabir Choudhry

CPEC is no doubt a big project with many dimensions and many targets. It is hailed as a game changer. However, debate still goes on in Pakistan and around the globe, about whose favor the game will change. As a weak partner in any game, trade or pact does not dictate terms or win the game.
