Abstract
The main events, character and peculiarities of India-Pakistan opposition since October, 1947 till the present time are at the center of the author's attention. The writer is analyzing the problem of the former state of Kashmir that caused several Indo-Pakistan wars in 1947-1948, 1965 and 1971, highly explosive conflicts in 1987-1988, 1999 and 2016, as well as cross-border terrorism that turned the region into one of the hot spots of the modern world. The so-called 'Chinese factor' plays an important part in the opposition. China is the main ally and a strategic partner of Pakistan that has some territorial pretenses to India. India denounces the interference of Pakistan into India's internal affairs and blames Pakistan's administration in the provocation of jihad in Kashmir, the support of the terrorists, and supplying them with weapons. Pakistan denies all the accusations and demands India to stop repressive actions in the Kashmir valley and maintain the human rights in the region. Many analysts find the state of the Indo-Pakistan relations critical and offer to consider the control line in Kashmir as the international border. The author of the following article skeptically thinks of the idea and feels the solution is in the sensible compromise with the participation of all the interested parties. The first step on the way should become the restraint of cross border terrorism.
