The Jammu and Kashmir postcard is perfect. In politics, however, Jammu and Kashmir is a thorny issue. The issue of Jammu and Kashmir or the issue of Kashmir, as it is commonly called, is more or less the result of the British design of the partition of India in 1947.
The LoC has not remained stable for more than seven decades. During the 1950s and 1960s, China took advantage of the situation and occupied Aksai Chin.
Successive governments have tried to maintain the status quo by reiterating India’s claim on Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) and Gilgit-Baltistan. In the 1990s, Parliament passed a resolution reaffirming India’s commitment to take back the occupied territories of Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh.
This status quo policy changed under the Narendra Modi government.
