The Kashmir conflict is the major source of tension between India and Pakistan. Each controls a portion of Jammu and Kashmir which is divided along the line of control (LoC). They have fought three wars and developed nuclear weapons as a result of this conflict. This article describes the conflict that developed with the British partition of India and why a peaceful solution has been so difficult to attain. The authors list eleven proposed solutions and why none of them are completely acceptable to all sides. In the end they suggest why a continuation of the status quo is likely the only peaceful way forward. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
