Shower Thought: The Kashmir conflict has saved more lives in Pakistan than it has cost because of Covid-19

It is sad and ironic, but the 73+ years of conflict and tension over Kashmir had created a situation where the India-Pakistan border was pretty much shut when the disastrous wave of Covid began ripping through India in late March. Most importantly, the spread of the India variant has not yet been able to hit Pakistan.

If the Kashmir situation had been resolved in 1947 and conflict between India and Pakistan averted, there would likely have been strong trade and cultural ties between the two countries which would have made the pandemic, particularly the Indian strain, rip the same path of devastation through Pakistan as it has in India.

First time participating in my school's MUN tomorrow, as India, with the topic of the Kashmir conflict. Looking for tips, ideas, what to expect, how to act, or anything else!

This was an unexpected, huge responsibility, I was hoping for a small, side country but instead all the focus is on me...

If y'all have any strong points/arguments or even general MUN advice (never done this before) on how to act, or some strategies to speak more persuasively, I would love to hear it.

Low-level of development, political and social marginalization will continue to aggravate Jammu and Kashmir’s susceptibility to conflict

It’s almost the end of March and the financial year is drawing to a close. You know what that means: The government departments are busying themselves with every kind of task and work under their responsibility – trying to spend as much money as they can. The roads and streets of Srinagar are as busy as is the Government e-Marketplace (GeM) portal. The money that the government was supposed to expend throughout the year is being spent in few days. What a sad state of affairs!

Of course, this time around the officials have an excuse for not executing developmental projects within a given timeframe. That is to say, COVID-19 lockdown. Could the situation have been different without the lockdown? No chance. Because the government officials never run out of reasons to explain away their failures to deliver public services, which ultimately constitute the governance deficit.

How does low-level of development, political and social marginalization increase a particular region’s susceptibility to conflict?

β€œThe origins of conflict are largely socio-economic in nature, and that state failure is a consequence of the breakdown of public service delivery.” Jammu and Kashmir is certainly a practical example of this observation. Right from the inception of the political trouble – and in fact even before it began, if one goes on analyzing the socio-economic issues, the developmental and governance deficit during the late eighties – the conflict here has been, and still is, the product of, and propelled by the low-level of development as well as political and social marginalization.

This recognition of the causes of conflict has elsewhere led to the formulation of the various models, such as the β€œcomprehensive approach,” β€œ3D” (defense, diplomacy, development), β€œwhole of government,” and β€œintegrated approach.” Unfortunately, none of these approaches seem to be in the plans of the authorities in Jammu and Kashmir. The officials are making incongruent, scattered and disjointed efforts, and instead of following coherent and planned strategies they only end up doing things in peace-meals, and then leaving them, most of the time, half-way. As a result, the projects consistently miss deadlines and by the time they are completed after huge time and cost overruns, their utility remains uncertain. For instance, a developmental project planned for the needs of a given population for 25 years will deliver minimally for only 10 years if it is completed after a delay of 15 ye

What is the logical solution to Kashmir conflict ?

Kashmir has been the bone of contention between India Pakistan and China since 1947 . In the last 70 years no major changes in the territory has occurred ? With all three nations possessing nuclear weapons and conventional war unlikely what do you think is the logical solution to this conflict ?

[CONFLICT] KASHMIR IS MINE BITCHES

In light of the recent revelations of joint Laurentian-Pakistani-Indian planning to compromise Chinese territorial sovereignty, we have decided to take action against this clearly unbased move.

We have decided to move the 16th and 26th Armies from the Shenyang Theater to Xinjiang Province, where they will be stationed at the city of Ürümqi. We will also be moving aircraft and equipment to Xinjiang, in order to protect Chinese territory and sovereignty.

Aircraft moved alongside the 16th and 26th armies will include:

  • 55 J-40 fighters
  • 75 WJ-41 fighters
  • 100 LJ-2 UCAVs
  • 110 J-31 fighters
  • 10 YY-20 aerial refuelers
  • 15 H-20 stealth bombers

This should be sufficient to deter an invasion. All military forces have been put on high alert, with daily aerial patrols in the air.

Did the Cold War play a role in the Kashmir conflict?

The Kashmir conflict as a whole I feel does show a lot of signs of modern globalized conflict, namely how both sides claim to be doing what they're doing to protect minorities and the conflict itself being fueled heavily by resources (water) and power projection onto the other nation. When the conflict began there were already present cold war tensions between the US and the USSR, each of whom had better relations with one side over the other, with the US being better allied with Pakistan and India being better allies with the USSR. Did the cold war play a role in the Kashmir conflict at all?

Do you guys recommend any books or other sources on the conflict in Kashmir, Pakistan’s role, and which side (Indian security forces or insurgents or rioters) are responsible for most civilian casualties in the conflict?

Just trying to learn more from the Indian perspective and am interested in seeing a breakdown of how manny casualties each side is responsible for.

Also sorry if the term β€œrioters” seems loaded, I meant β€œunruly civilians” or β€œcivilians partaking in violence but not part of any formal group”.
