Kashmir: The Oldest Unresolved Conflict in the World

This week, the UN General Assembly’s Third Committee meeting dealing with social, humanitarian and cultural questions was held. Here, Pakistan and India sparred over a decades-old issue: the Kashmir conflict.
The Kashmir conflict is a territorial dispute which started in 1947 after the British Indian Empire was divided into the sovereign states of Pakistan and India. Both countries then claimed the state known as Jammu and Kashmir. Two wars and various attempts at UN intervention later, the region is still being disputed, with both nations controlling sections of the territory today.

Jammu 1947: gone but not forgotten

.:.BY Khalid Hasan

The 1947 massacre of the Muslims of Jammu city, its neighbouring areas and the farther reaches of the province, remains one of the most poorly documented of the human tragedies with which the subcontinent’s major religious communities greeted independence. With the passing of years, the memory of those who were killed has all but faded.
Every year, the Muslims of Jammu who remain or those of their children who still care, mark the anniversary of the great Jammu killings. But these sombre gatherings have diminished with time. In another ten or twenty years, no one will remember the Muslims of Jammu who were killed because they were helpless before an organised force made up of the RSS, the Maharaja’s own forces and “help” from Punjab’s Sikh States.

Massacre of Jammu Muslims, November 1947

“Jammu Massacre 06 November, 1947 and mass migration to Pakistan”
It is one of the least known genocides in modern history. It was carried out with such a precision that it is difficult to find its traces, except in the memories of the survivors, and the tales of horror they passed on to their next generations. Around 500,000 Muslims were killed with military precision. It was such an operation that language lacks words to express this offence of demolition of human being.
Though the targeted killing had already started in Jammu around mid July 1947, the operation got a fillip immediately after a fleeing Maharaja Hari Singh and his wife reached Jammu on 26 October 1947. An organised carnage was orchestrated to kill Muslims, wherever found or spotted in Jammu.
