Jammu and Kashmir (region)

Jammu and Kashmir is a region located in northern India, known for its stunning landscapes, including mountains, valleys, and rivers. Historically significant, it has been a point of contention between India and Pakistan since 1947, when both nations gained independence from British rule. The region is divided into two main parts: Jammu, which is mostly Hindu, and Kashmir, predominantly Muslim. Alongside territorial disputes, its cultural richness, including unique art and cuisine, makes it notable. Today, it is a Union Territory of India, reflecting both its complex political status and its diverse heritage.
