    Issues
    Kashmir issue
    Kashmir was a Muslim state which was ruled by Maharaja Hari Singh. He signed a
    standstill agreement as he didn’t take a decision on 15 august 1947 and moreover
    India was not in the favor of a temporary agreement.
    Paksitan attacked Kashmir and Hari Singh fleed Srinagar. He signed instrument of
    accession but Pakistan rejected it. Indian army landed in Srinagar and pushed
    back the Pakistani troops. This led to emergence of line of control.
    Shimla Accord
    The Shimla Accord was signed in 1972. This was signed by Indira Gandhi and
    Bhutto so that both the countries settle their disputes by the means of peaceful
    negotiations.
    Saichen Glacier- there were demands to remove the troops from the glacier but
    as it is strategically important India refused to do so. It is the highest battlefield in
    the world.
    Sir creek – it is 60 km estuary in the ran of Kutch. The ran of Kutch lies between
    Gujrat on India side and Sindh on the Pakistan side. The problem lies between the
    boundary line which divides sir creek.
    • Water Issue - Indus water treaty –
    • India should not stop flow of water and it was Signed in 1960 to
    provide flow of water to Pakistan
    India’s Concern
    1. Epicentre of terrorism- Pakistan is active in terrorist activities and is home
    to many terrorist groups.

    2. CPEC -
    It is China Pakistan economic corridor. It is project between Pakistan and China,
    to promote connectivity across Pakistan with a network of pipelines railways
    highways etc. it is part of OBOR itself. 2. It will give China access to the Africa and
    Middle East from Gwadar Port, which will help China to gain access to the Indian
    Ocean and in return China will help Pakistan with development projects and
    overcome the crisis which they are facing.
    Issues with CPEC
    1. CPEC Passes through (PoK) and Baluchistan where there are a lot of terror risks etc.
    2. There is lack of transparency.
    3. China not partnering with local companies will not help Pakistan create opportunities for
    job.
    Objections by India to CPEC-OBOR
    1. India is not in support of OBOR.
    2. China is building roads in Gilgit-Balistan, which is under Pakistan’s control and is also a
    disputed territory which India claims as a part of Jammu and Kashmir.
    3. In the south Asian region ,India’s strategic interests would hinder if CPEC gets succ essful.
    3. Development of missiles and nuclear weapons
