The more than seven decades of the dispute over Kashmir allow for some elementary conclusions. Since after the end of the first war, at the end of 1948 and the Line of Control established, India informally consented to the territorial division. Notwithstanding the end of 1948, both sides, Pakistan and India, solidified their positions in Kashmir, and a ceasefire agreement was reached and a line of control established. On April 21, 1948 the Security Council passed and adopted Resolution 47 (Doc. nº S/726, of April 21, 1948). India got about two-thirds of Kashmir, while Pakistan gained control of one-third of the Kashmir region. This marked the first of many wars and conflicts between these two nations over Kashmir. The main reason for the conflict between India and Pakistan over Kashmir is due to Kashmir's qualities, in terms of security, geography and resources. The Indus River is crucial for agriculture in Pakistan, and especially important in the Lower Indus Valley region, where rainfall is uncommon. Likewise, India depends on the Indus for irrigation. As a result, the Indus and its tributaries are highly sought after. In this work, the starting question was posed, how has the Jammu and Kashmir conflict affected the relations between India and Pakistan since the Partition and the British responsibility for it? This question gave rise to the overall objective: To determine how the Jammu and Kashmir conflict has affected relations between India and Pakistan since the Partition and British responsibility for it. To achieve this objective, specific objectives were set: to determine the causes and consequences of the partition of the British Empire from India; identify the evolution of this conflict with a view to finding a solution; determine why the United Nations failed to resolve this conflict; identify why it was not possible to put into practice the plebiscite to listen to the population of Jammu and Kashmir in joining India or Pakistan; discover the real reason for the partition of the British Empire from India in 1947 and determine the historical origins of the conflict in Jammu and Kashmir. The study results determined that despite course developments within the dynamics of conflict, the possibility of conflict transformation through any of the suggested avenues remains unlikely in the near future. Likewise, the experience of an initial war, the absence of peace, an unresolved core issue that remains at the forefront of mutual relations, the salience of conflict in domestic discourses, and the growing threat of renewed violence.
