COVER STORY
Kashmir Dispute
Developments have shown that there is a deep rift between Jammu region and the Kashmir–Valley. If they should remain united, a compromise must be found based on mutual respect and trust. J&K, as it was before partition in 1947, is at present under the rule of three countries (1) China: Aksai Chin and a territory of 5.180 km2 ceded by Pakistan to China; (2) India: J&K State comprising Jammu-region, the Kashmir-Valley and Ladakh (districts Kargil and Leh); (3) Pakistan: Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan (Northern Areas). The population of these specific regions is totally different from each other: culture, history, traditions, language, religion, etc. In J&K State, this is also the case for the three regions: Jammu-region, the Kashmir—Valley and Ladakh region. In order to find a permanent solution a dialogue is necessary on three levels, as we emphasise already since so many years: (1) bilateral level: between India and Pakistan; (2) national level: between the Government of India, the J&K State Government and the representatives of the civil society of the three regions; (3) internal level: between the different regions of J&K.

Bilateral talks between India and Pakistan have failed to deliver in the past”.

The unique feature of these Madarasah’s is that they focus on Inter community relations. What is interesting is the donations and frequent visits by local Hindu’s to these madarasah’s. More Pakistan By: Mazhar IQBAL Plight of Scheduled Caste Hindus in Pakistan In most places scheduled castes have no temples of their own. They have few places where they can burn their dead, and many of these are illegally occupied by local feudal.
