Kashmiri separatism

Kashmiri separatism refers to the movement in the Jammu and Kashmir region of India, where some groups seek greater autonomy or independence from Indian governance. This sentiment has historical roots, stemming from political, social, and religious tensions. After the partition of India in 1947, Kashmir became a disputed territory between India and Pakistan. The demand for self-determination has been fueled by grievances related to cultural identity, government representation, and human rights. The conflict has led to violence and significant human suffering, complicating the political landscape and international relations in South Asia.
