| Summary/Abstract |
This paper looks into some historical and foundational premonitions that have fashioned the foreign policy of India regarding the contested ‘Kashmir question’. Firstly, it looks at the role of post-independence charismatic political leadership in steering the foreign policy on the Kashmir question. The paper argues within the constructivist framework: how the international environment, the ideology of Indian State (including the ideology of national political parties) and Pakistan’s role remain important factors in determining the foreign policy of India related to Kashmir.
