| Primus Pilus | Post; Should Kashmir just be a seperate country?Due to poor boundry settlements on the part of the British and Indians during the independence of the indian sub continent, this entire province has experienced nothing but troubles. Now India, China and Pakistan lay claim to this region, would it be better to just make it a neutral country and let the people there get on with their lives? |

| Tribunus Laticlavius | No, India and Pakistan need to resolve this issue amongst themselves and China's claims are quite frankly ludicrous, they are simply trying to make a grab for territory. This is an issue that Pakistan and India need to resolve together, through discussion because a peace in the Kashmir will go along ways towards a much more permanent peace than they currently have.

| Primus Pilus | Its primary source of income is agriculture and tourism. The reason there's conflict over it is because there's a problem with who actually controls it. Pakistan was supposed to received all the surrounded majority muslim areas but kashmir's ruler agreed to give control to India. They've been fighting over who was the rightful government for awhile now. China got involved since Pakistan ceded a part of their claim to them which made no sense and was done when China and India didn't get along. Look at this to learn more. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kashmir |

| Centurion | Independent country? are you joking? ... Imagine if tomorrow Mexico attacked USA suddenly without USA having any idea and in this process took away Arizona and New Mexico. Now there have been conflics between USA and Mexico over who should get those two provinces. Suppose after 50 years I asked a question similar to this question here... Should Arizona and New Mexico be a separate country? What would be your answer then?

| Tribuni Angusticlavii | The Indian Continent used to have as many separate kingdoms as Europe had before Britain unified it as one State. Now would either India or Pakistan stand for Kashmir being a separate Country, personally I don't think so as this could well open the floodgates for similar requests
