The Indian Princely States, Paramountcy and Partition Twice in the last two decades the Kashmir dispute, the question of the future of this unhappy State which on the eve of independence in the subcontinent possessed a Muslim majority ruled by a Hindu dynasty, has brought India and Pakistan to undeclared war.

In the first Kashmir crisis, in 1947 to 1949, actual fighting was confined to the disputed region: but in the second great crisis, during August and September 1965, the clash of men and arms spread from Kashmir all along the borders of West Pakistan, and there were reports of air operations in East Pakistan as well. Had not a cease-fire been arranged on 23 September 1965 by the United Nations (assisted no doubt by a Chinese ultimatum), it seems more than probable that the Kashmir issue would have escalated into a general Indo-Pakistani war of formidable proportions.

Such a war, despite the detente under Russian auspices which was secured at Tashkent in early 1966, may yet break out. There has been a cease-fire in the subcontinent; but it cannot be said that any final settlement of the Kashmir problem is at present in sight. The Kashmir dispute has guaranteed that a state of tension should continue in being between the two great powers of the Indian subcontinent.
