ABSTRACT
The India-Pakistani perennial conflicts over the past six decades, in the struggle to
possess Kashmir, have been posing serious problems to the international community.
This anomaly in their relations has raised some crucial questions by this study such as:
Does the continuing dispute between India and Pakistan, over Kashmir, carry the risk of
nuclear war in Asia? Furthermore, would the resolution of the India-Pakistani dispute
create the opportunity for the settlement of other boundary problems in Asia? In this
context, this study was undertaken to determine whether the continuing dispute between
India and Pakistan, over Kashmir, carries the risk of nuclear war in Asia. It will also
establish if the resolution of the India-Pakistani dispute would create an opportunity for
the settlement of other boundary problems in Asia. A literature review of books and
articles in respect of the various wars were used to unveil the critical facts. To achieve
this, the qualitative method of data collection and analysis was used. Afterwards, the
study found out that religious fundamentalism had eroded peaceful relations between
India and Pakistan. In a bid to describe the tenets of the study, the balance of power
theory was employed as analytical framework. In line with these, it hypothetically held
that the continuing dispute between India and Pakistan, over Kashmir, carries the risk of
nuclear war in Asia. Again, that the resolution of the India-Pakistani dispute would create
an opportunity for the settlement of other boundary problems in Asia. Finally, the study
recommended that under a multilateral declaration, the withdrawn sovereignty and
independence of the princely state of Kashmir and Jammu be restored by the UN, forcing
India and Pakistan to withdraw their controls. Alternatively, the UN should permanently
station their peace-keeping forces in the Line of Control to check the incessant
infiltrations and resultant conflicts between them.
