= 'Kashmir Issue' = Core Problem

India's denial of right of Kashmiris to self determination.

But Self determination was common ground between India, Pakistan and people of Kashmir; was supported by the U. N Security Council without dissent.

Indian claim that Kashmir is integral part of India is false. Basis of claim (26 Oct, 1947 accession) is fraudulent, because Indians invaded Kashmir beforehand. Date of signature of alleged accession document is false. No accession document exists.

Integrity of Indian Union

India fears that if Kashmir is given up, it will create pressure for secession elsewhere e.g. Punjab Assam, Tamil Nadu. But Kashmir is altogether different and not a precedent.

Terrorism

India claims to be defending itself against external (Pakistan) supported terrorism

But this ignores genuine Kashmiri opposition to Indian Occupation But Indian state is itself practicing terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir.

Fundamentalism

India claims to be defending "Secularism" against "Islamic Fundamentalism" But Kashmiri Muslims are historically not extremist and believe in communal harmony. But It is India who officially tolerates Hindu fundamentalist armed gangs. But it hints at repercussions for its Muslim minority if Muslim countries press Kashmiri cause.

Negotiations

India insists that basis for any negotiation must be Simla Agreement (bilateral talks with Pakistan) not UNSC Resolutions.

India denies right of the basic party to be part of the resolution process.
