Abstract

The dispute over Kashmir between India and Pakistan is an international issue which arose on the world scene in 1947, when Maharaja of Kashmir, Hari Singh signed on instrument of accession to India on 26 October 1947. Since beginning, this verdict was questioned by the government of Pakistan arguing majority of state’s population was Muslim and due to this four times both countries India and Pakistan went for war over this issue. Observing the nature of politics by both governments, this article argued both countries are driven merely by their national interests and have no sympathy with the people of Kashmir at large that how they feel. To analyse above argument, article has adopted classical realism as theory to study this subject.
