Answer the following two questions. Your answer to the first question should be 3-4 single-spaced pages. Since the question has several parts make sure you address each part. Your answer to the second question should be 1 single-spaced page. I only want you to write on one of the three countries. It’s your choice.

Part One: 3 pages

Explain the importance of Kashmir and Afghanistan in relations between Pakistan and India. In so doing, make sure you address the following questions: (1) How and when did Kashmir become an issue between the two countries and what tactics did Pakistan employ first in 1965, and then again beginning in 1989, to try to wrest it away from India? (2) What are the back channel negotiations? What role did the Lahore summit play in their creation and how did the near war over Kargil affect them? (3) What happened in late 2001 and then in early 2002 that brought the two countries to the brink of war? (4) How close and in what way did the peace process begun in early 2004 come to resolving the Kashmir dispute and what role might it have played in precipitating the Mumbai massacre? (5) How has the Indian presence in Afghanistan grown since 9/11 and how has this affected Pakistani willingness to help the U.S. achieve its objectives in Afghanistan? (6) Who do you believe bears primary responsibility for the Kashmir dispute, India for seizing control of Kashmir after partition or Pakistan for refusing to let it go? How do you believe the impasse should be settled?

Part Two: 1 pages
