The Kashmir conflict has been on the world's conscience for over 7 decades. The conflict, which started out as a political justice issue, devolved into a human rights morass, especially in the last 3 decades. At the same time, this issue has been one of the 2 major sources of what has been euphemistically labeled as the Muslim angst. There are national security implications for the US as well, as the road to peace in Afghanistan is widely believed to go through Kashmir.
