Abstract
Kashmir has been smoldering for the last seven decades without having any kind
of permanent solution or bilateral arrangement agreed upon between India and
Pakistan. Change of governments on both sides never changed the stance of each
or the fortune of Indian Occupied Kashmiri people who have been killed and
butchered like the sheep of a herd. Reciprocity of terrorism and counter-terrorism
allegations on each other has totally changed the direction of the whole dispute.
This study suggests that Terrorism and counter-terrorism approach is being used as
a tool for deliberate deferral to this historical dispute for the last two decades.
Therefore, the study focuses on Kashmir specific lethal trajectory of action and
reaction syndrome, which is being used to keep the status quo in the hope to avail
better bargain if and when time comes. Due to adoption of the phenomenon of
terrorism and counter-terrorism approach, opportunists, elements of vested
interests along with religious fanatics and offensive war-mongers have hijacked
the whole process of bilateral relationship between India and Pakistan; therefore,
the conflict over Kashmir is yet awaited to be resolved. With the changing game of
power politics on international arena and the influx of regional power players,
pseudo-defenders and proxy war handlers have further perplexed the everworsening gruesome situation in Kashmir. The study suggests adopting
incremental efforts to coordinate through uninterruptable negotiations, which
would give a shut up call to the peace-spoilers. As soon as both countries get close
to each other it is only then any kind of permanent solution could be found.
