Definition

  • Kashmir, the mountainous region divided between India and Pakistan, continues to be one of the most contested areas between these two countries. Part of the conflict is due to religion: While a large percentage of the population is Muslim, Kashmir is also home to a large and important Hindu community and was formerly ruled by a Hindu maharaja.At the time of British colonial withdrawal from the subcontinent, there were two classes of states in the British Indian Empire.
