Kashmir, Disputed region in South Asia

Three nuclear nations maintain territorial claims over Kashmir: India controls the southeastern portion, Pakistan oversees the northwestern area, and China manages the northeastern section.

The region faced significant changes after India's partition in 1947, leading to multiple conflicts between India and Pakistan over territorial control.

Kashmir incorporates diverse religious influences, with Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism shaping the social fabric across different areas of the territory.

The Line of Control divides Kashmir between India and Pakistan, requiring specific permits and documentation for travelers crossing between administered territories.

The region contains 18,000 glaciers, including Siachen, extending for 70 kilometers and ranking as the longest glacier outside the polar zones.
