| Summary/Abstract |
Analysed here is the vexing Kashmir issue from various angles - firstly with regard to the lingering potential for nuclear conflict between India, Pakistan and possibly china and secondly in view of the growing socio - political alienations and divisions within both Indian and Pakistani societies, which risk disintegration as a result. The author also notes the rise of BRIC nations in the new multipolar system and places the Kashmir dispute in the context of the conflict between radicalized Muslims and people of other faiths as an aspect of the reassertion of rival culture and religious identities worldwide. Finally if India and Pakistan connot rise above their quarrel by symbiotically investing in their mutual stability, they will allow Western nation and China to dictate on outcome.
