The root cause of Indo-Pak tensions and South Asia peace is the Kashmir dispute that remains unresolved for 74 years. Jammu and Kashmir, which continues to be a vexed issue and a lot has been said about its solution, in fact remains unresolved due to lack of trust between the two countries. The issue stemmed from the Kashmir policies adopted by India. India and Pakistan fought three wars and went ahead with their Kashmir policies.
