Kashmir has been an important factor in Pakistan’s security policy vis-à-vis
India and Pakistan has always directed its efforts to find a settlement of this
long standing issue in South Asia. This Article looks into the changes
Pakistan had to make in its Kashmir policy in order to adjust it to post
9/11 security environment. The questions this study tries to address can be
divided into thematic issues and more specific research questions. In the light
of President Musharraf’s statement that Pakistan joined the US launched
global War on Terror to safeguard its Kashmir cause,1
the present study
tries to understand the way the new international environment has affected
Pakistan's approach towards Kashmir; secondly, what measures were taken
to salvage Pakistan’s claim on Kashmir and what was General Musharraf’s
new thinking on Kashmir; thirdly, how the new civilian government installed
in office after the 2008 elections look towards the solution of Kashmir issue;
and finally, what impact did the ‘war on terror’ have on the most concerned
party, the Kashmiris?
