LanguageENG
AuthorDuara, Navasikha
Summary / Abstract (Note)Pakistan’s persistent objection to the removal of the special status given to the state of Jammu & Kashmir and make Article 370 and Article 35A inoperative, appears to be a legacy of the Two Nation theory of Muhammad Ali Jinnah, the founder of Pakistan. Ever since the division of British India and creation of two independent Nation States, Pakistan has been making counter claims over the entire erstwhile princely state of Jammu & Kashmir. Till date Pakistan has not reconciled to the idea of J&K being part of the Indian Union and under India’s sovereign jurisdiction. Needless to say, Pakistan’s claim over J&K is based on the state’s Muslim majority population.1 Ownership over J&K is viewed by the Pak official establishment as vital to the identity of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan as Homeland for the Muslims in the Indian subcontinent.
