In this initial foray into the Kashmir Conflict, we explore how this issue has shaped the foreign policies and agendas of the two biggest rivals in South Asia: India and Pakistan. From the moment the British carved out the princely state of Jammu & Kashmir in 1845 to the pivotal decision of the Indian government to revoke Kashmir's autonomy in 2019, we attempt to walk through the most notable internal developments in the region, as well as its fallout on other parts of South Asia. Our discussion is enhanced by the analyses and comments of Tim Sullivan, a roving correspondent for the Associated Press. He spent 17 years based in New Delhi, India and visited Kashmir on numerous occasions, learning about the intricacies of this long-standing conflict.
