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. 606 $aHistory 606 $aHISTORY / Asia / General$2bisacsh 607 $aIndia$xForeign relations$zPakistan 607 $aPakistan$xForeign relations$zIndia 607 $aIndia$xMilitary relations$zPakistan 607 $aPakistan$xMilitary relations$zIndia 610 $a1947 partition. 610 $aafghanistan. 610 $aazaadi. 610 $abangladesh. 610 $abritish colonialism. 610 $acoup. 610 $adiplomacy. 610 $aempire. 610 $agandhi. 610 $ahate. 610 $ahinduism. 610 $ahistory of pakistan and india. 610 $ahistory. 610 $aindia. 610 $aindian parliament. 610 $aindo pakistani war. 610 $aislam. 610 $ajammu. 610 $akashmir. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $anuclear conflict. 610 $anuclear strikes. 610 $anuclear war. 610 $anuclear weapons. 610 $apakistan. 610 $apandits. 610 $apartition. 610 $apeace. 610 $apolitical science. 610 $araj. 610 $arape. 610 $areligion. 610 $areligious sects. 610 $areligious war. 610 $arevolution. 610 $asikh. 610 $asimla summit. 610 $asocial issues. 610 $asouth asia. 610 $asouth asian history. 610 $asuicide bombing. 610 $aterrorism. 610 $awar crimes. 610 $awar. 610 $azia. 615 0$aHistory. 615 7$aHISTORY / Asia / General. 676 $a954.04 686 $aML 9100$2rvk 700 $aWolpert$b Stanley A.$f1927-$0174198 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785670503321 996 $aIndia and Pakistan$93761611 997 $aUNINA
