Abstract
The topic we are discussing in our presentation is the controversy of Kashmir. Kashmir is a region that has recently been in a territorial dispute between India and Pakistan due to it being between the two nations and it having access to an abundant supply of resources. Kashmir has basically been blocked off by the rest of the world and because of this, many protests have sprung in the region, often violent ones with students throwing rocks at officers. Nothing has been done to solve the situation other than Pakistan and India pointing the blame to each other. Many have spoken about this conflict with many different opinions with some saying that Kashmir should become an independent nation, others say that the way India has treated Kashmir is completely unacceptable. In order to solve this conflict, we believe that Kashmir should be a part of India because Kashmir isn’t capable of being an independent nation, Pakistan also has a lot of militant influence in Kashmir and could easily attempt to annex it again. While India is violating some of the citizen’s rights and separating them from the rest of the world it's much better than what could happen if Pakistan annexed it due to the economic troubles Pakistan finds itself in recent years.
