Neutrosophic Game Theoretic Approach to Indo-Pak Conflict over Jammu-Kashmir
Neutrosophic Sets and Systems , 2014
The study deals with the enduring conflict between India and Pakistan over Jammu and Kashmir since 1947. The ongoing conflict is analyzed as an enduring rivalry; characterized by three major wars (1947-48), 1965, 1971, low intensity military conflict (Siachen), mini war at Kargil (1999), internal insurgency, cross border terrorism. We examine the progress and the status of the dispute, as well as the dynamics of the India Pakistan relationship by considering the influence of USA and China in crisis dynamics. We discuss the possible solutions offered by the various study groups and persons. Most of the studies were done in crisp environment. Pramanik and Roy (S. Pramanik and T.K. Roy, Game theoretic model to the Jammu-Kashmir conflict between India and Pakistan. International Journal of Mathematical Archive (IJMA), 4(8) (2013), 162-170.) studied game theoretic model toJammu and Kashmir conflict in crisp environment. In the present study we have extended the concept of the game theoric model of the Jammu and Kashmir conflict in neutrosophic envirorment. We have explored the possibilities and developed arguments for an application of principle of neutrosophic game theory to understand properly of the Jammu and Kashmir conflict in terms of goals and strategy of either side. Standard 2×2 zero-sum game theoretic model used to identify an optimal solution.

The Kashmir Dispute: A Strategic Analysis
Research Paper, 2023
Historically, Kashmir’s otherworldly beauty and high-culture have been taking the brunt of oppression and repression since centuries. The many transformations, transcended by Kashmiri consciousness, range from being a serf to a dissenter, from defiant peasant to an armed insurgent, not to mention the stone-pelters’ enduring struggle for freedom. Likewise, whenever an awareness emerged and became a becoming, an unimaginable coercion and tyranny persisted alongside. It remains and lacerates from an occupation and annexation-lawfare, besides, the military and para-military apparatus that sustains it. The post-partition Cease Fire Line (CFL) is now the disputed Line of Control (LoC) between India and Pakistan, whereas, the British era delimited McMahon Line has become the Line of Actual Control (LAC) between India and China. The Sino-Indian rivalry is in the foreground with an Indo-US congruence in the background. Also, the greater context of dispute is the Hindu nationalist agenda objectively implemented by Modi-Amit duo in the spirit of M. S. Golwalkar, plus, the complex geo-political mixture of regional, extra-regional and global strategic environment. However, Kashmiri consciousness is a reality inductively validating the libertarian spirit. Vicissitudes of time taught Kashmiris the virtues of transcendent wisdom and restraint. The Kashmiri liberation struggle continues. It is a calling.
Kashmir Conflict: Tracing the History Suggesting the Solution
Asian Journal of Humanity, Art and Literature, 2014
Kashmir, once known for its mesmerizing beauty, peace and tolerance in the world, has now been seen as a bloody conflict zone, since 1989. Over the years, numbers of Confidence Building Measures (CBMs) were taken by India and Pakistan, but all the initiatives fail to bring long-term peace in the region. This paper examines two questions: why Kashmiris chose to go for armed struggle against India and why peace building initiatives lead by India and Pakistan failed to bring long term peace in the region? The study will further try to analyze the interests of the different stakeholders in order to find a peaceful, acceptable, and achievable solution to the conflict region. On the basis of Stakeholder Analysis the paper argues that India and Pakistan need to go beyond existing nonengagement and occasional bilateral policy of negotiation to trilateral negotiation by engaging Kashmiri political leadership to get the win-win, peaceful resolution of the conflict. The absence of Kashmiris in any negotiation process will not bring long lasting solution to the region. Keywords: Kashmir conflict, India, Pakistan, Insurgency, Peace process
Conflict Resolution Model (Kashmir) New Approach
Kashmiris (people of Jammu and Kashmir on either side of LoC) are not robots or machines nor the cannon fodder, but its people are simple human beings like others, and our hearts beat in a similar way like that of others. We are striving for universal brotherhood and peaceful coexistence, besides we are the part of global culture. Equally, earth is very beautiful and also our South Asia is rich by all means, whether it is its people with composite culture, geographical area or other natural resources, let we work to save this region and remove all the bottlenecks among them Kashmir is the biggest and hampers South Asian regional development. In South Asia India has a leadership role, agreed that the unresolved Kashmir problem is a sub-continental irony. This problem has put India and Pakistan into military competition with mounting intimidation than cooperation.
Kashmir and models of conflict resolution.
Conflict has unique chrectrisitics and dynamics so one conflict resolution theory designed in one socio-political environment can be applied in another resolution but one can understand the theatrical frame work if has been applied in resolving any conflict.The conflicts become more volatile in certen cases so needs an independent scientific approach and trough study while learning from others experiences. The models help researchers to make a way in complexity.
Kashmir is beautiful valley on the earth and has a natural accession with Pakistan owing to its river flows. It is an age back issue that is keeping two South Asian powers, India and Pakistan, at daggers drawn for more than a half century. This research paper is all about the ongoing debate on resolving Kashmir issue. It will explain different options gathered from diverse segments of society along with personal opinion based on objectivity render to the solution of Kashmir dispute. Historical and analytical methods are used to underscore the real facts. This is an age of globalization where every thing is calculated and measured through profit maximization and other material advantages. The international community does not like war or quarrel with other nation states to rescue itself from any economic loss. Former president Clinton called Kashmir "A nuclear flash point" during his visit to South Asia in 1999. Let's have a geographical out look of Kashmir to better understand the resolution of this issue.

Even after 65 years of their independence, India and Pakistan are locked in a deadly territorial conflict over Kashmir. Despite several mediation attempts and many rounds of bilateral negotiations, Kashmir still defies a solution. Fisher and Ury’s win-win solution in Getting to Yes is applied on India-Pakistan conflict to understand the nature of conflict and see how their four suggested methods can help addressing the deadlock in the peace process between India and Pakistan. In the second part of the paper Fisher and Ury’s method, “focus on interests not positions” is used to understand the Indian fears and concerns behind India’s declared policy of calling Kashmir as their “integral part”. It is despite the fact that the first Indian Prime Minister, Nehru had made solid pledges in UN and on other forums of holding a plebiscite in Kashmir to determine the right of self determination of the people of Kashmir. An attempt is made to look at Indian concerns more deeply and find out the possible ways of addressing them.
