He concisely distills sixty-three years of complex history, tracing the roots of the relationship between these two antagonists, explaining the many attempts to resolve their disputes, and assessing the dominant political leaders. While the tragic Partition left many urgent problems, none has been more difficult than the problem over Kashmir, claimed by both India and Pakistan. This intensely divisive issue has triggered two conventional wars, killed some 100,000 Kashmiris, and almost ignited two nuclear wars since 1998, when both India and Pakistan openly emerged as nuclear-weapon states. In addition to providing a comprehensive perspective on the origin and nature of this urgent conflict, Wolpert examines all the proposed solutions and concludes with a road map for a brighter future for South Asia.HistoryHISTORY / Asia / GeneralbisacshIndiaForeign relationsPakistanPakistanForeign relationsIndiaIndiaMilitary relationsPakistanPakistanMilitary relationsIndia1947 partition.afghanistan.azaadi.bangladesh.british colonialism.coup.diplomacy.empire.gandhi.hate.hinduism.history of pakistan and india.history.india.indian parliament.indo pakistani war.islam.jammu.kashmir.nonfiction.nuclear conflict.nuclear strikes.nuclear war.nuclear weapons.pakistan.pandits.partition.peace.political science.raj.rape.religion.religious sects.religious war.revolution.sikh.simla summit.social issues.south asia.south asian history.suicide bombing.terrorism.war crimes.war.zia.History.HISTORY / Asia / General.954.04ML 9100rvkWolpert Stanley A.1927-174198MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910785670503321India and Pakistan3761611UNINA
