IS KASHMIR SITUATED AT AN IMPORTANT

GEOGRAPHICAL LOCATION? WHAT DO
YOU KNOW ABOUT ITS BORDERS
4
 Geographical Over View
• The state of Jammu and Kashmir before 1947 had an area of
84,471 square miles. It is located in the extreme NW corner
of Sub-Continent. where borders of five countries converge,
i.e. former USSR, China, Afghanistan, India and Pakistan.
Strategically, the importance of this area cannot be over
emphasized as it lies at the intersection of the great
Himalayas, Hindukush and Karakoram ranges. It borders in
north and east for about 600 miles with Sin kiang and Tibet
provinces of China and in the south and west for about 750
miles with Pakistan. A thirty miles stretch of Wakhan, an
Afghan territory separates it from Tajikistan, whereas
towards south, it forms a border with India. The terrain
configuration, from semi to snow capped mountains,
deprives it to have a homogeneous entity

WHO TOOK KASHMIR ISSUE TO UNITED

NATIONS? HOW MANY RESOLUTIONS HAS UN
PASSED ON KASHMIR
10
 UNITED NATIONS & KASHMIR
• 1948: India takes the Kashmir problem to the United Nations (UN) Security Council on 1
January and a cease fire is declared

• 1949: On 5 January 1949, UNCIP (United Nations Commission for India and Pakistan)
resolution states that the question of the accession of the State of Jammu and Kashmir to
India or Pakistan will be decided through a free and impartial plebiscite. As per the 1948
and 1949 UNCIP Resolutions, both countries accept the principle, that Pakistan secures the
withdrawal of Pakistani intruders followed by withdrawal of Pakistani and Indian forces, as
a basis for the formulation of a Truce agreement whose details are to be arrived in future,
followed by a plebiscite; However, both countries fail to arrive at a Truce agreement due
to differences in interpretation of the procedure for and extent of demilitarisation.

• A total of 18 resolutions have been passed till now by United Nations in favor of right of
self determination-impartial plebiscite in Kashmir but Indian Hegemony is the greatest
hurdle in their implementation

• UNCIP Resolution, 5 JANUARY, 1949.

UNCIP Resolution, 13 August, 1948.
UNCIP Resolution, 30 March, 1951.
